Journeymen, an organisation operated by The Supreme Court, is actively seeking Touring Coaches to help lead, manage and accompany junior tennis players on competitive tours.

Journeymen was recently founded in the hopes of creating an easier avenue for Canadian tennis players to compete at international events. The goal of the organization is to consistently offer interested players weekly, biweekly and monthly travel options to ITF or equal level events around the globe. Through partnership with individual pros, programs, academies and organizations we aim to bring like minded players together to help keep international competitions consistent and affordable through bundling common fees amongst players.

Job Description
The role of a “Journeymen” Touring Coach is to provide a supportive experience and excellent environment for aspiring tennis players.
