Coaching Positions and Volunteering Opportunites with the BCTA

Hit for Prizes at BCTA Team Tennis Challenge Play Day

The BCTA continually looks for teens and adults—including players, coaches, teachers, and parents—interested in giving back to the game and sharing their love of tennis.

The volunteer-based nonprofit has volunteer opportunities, such as assisting with Team Tennis Challenge Play Day events, Jr. Team Tennis matches, and community promotions.

The community tennis association also offers paid coaching and assistant coaching positions with competitive hourly rates. Coaches are required to complete a brief BCTA application from and to attend a Recreational Coach Workshop before working on-court. In addition, coaches must file a Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance form. For a BCTA application, please click here.

Hot Competition Complemented Hot Climate

BCTA’s Season 2 Youth Team Tennis Challenge was a hot one all the way around—weather and matchplay. Youths (ages 4–13) from nine different townships that partner with the BCTA to provide affordable “Tennis in the Parks” programming gathered at two separate sites in the county on July 16 to represent their respective community.

Sixty participants, a dozen BCTA coaches and volunteers, and numerous cheering parents, grandparents, friends and siblings—armed with Flip and video cameras as well as lawn chairs and sunscreen—braved the triple-digit heat for two hours of tennis matches, games, and awards ceremony.

Three age divisions—Pee Wees (ages 4–6), Little Aces (ages 7–10), and Juniors (ages 11–13)—competed at the two county sites in Central Bucks and Lower Bucks:
