Why coach with VPA

Flexible scheduling

Set your own schedule. Coach the sessions that fit your life.

No facility costs

We run programs at partner schools, with no court rental and no overhead.

Equipment provided

Nets, balls, and loaner paddles are furnished for every session.

Scalable earnings

Add schools and weekly sessions to grow what you earn per week.

Leadership opportunities

Grow into Lead Coach and Regional Director roles as we expand.

How it works

You run structured 1-hour sessions at partner schools. VPA handles the curriculum, equipment, and scheduling. Programs run as 12–16 week semesters, with the option to add a second weekly session per school as programs grow.

How pay works

Coaches are paid per session as 1099 independent contractors, for the sessions you run.

Because you set your own schedule, your income scales with you. Take on more schools, add a second weekly session at a school, or pick up seasonal camps and clinics.

The more you coach, the more you earn.
