My daughter is in grade 6 and wants to try out for her school volleyball team in January 2027. She is keen and athletic but new to volleyball, and I am looking for a patient coach to work with her one on one once a week through November and December so she walks into tryouts ready.

You do not need to be a professional. A strong high school, college or club player who knows the fundamentals and can teach them to an 11 year old is exactly what I am looking for.

What the sessions would cover:

* Serving, underhand first and then overhand

* Passing (forearm pass / bump) and platform control

* Setting (overhead pass)

* Ready position, footwork and moving to the ball

* The kinds of drills coaches run at school tryouts, so they feel familiar

* Easy drills she can practise at home between sessions

What I am looking for:

* Played volleyball at the high school, club or college level, or have coached youth players

* Patient, encouraging and reliable, and on time every week





* Able to plan each session and give a short note on what to practise next

* A reference, such as a current or former coach or teacher

How it works:

* I book and pay for the court; you bring your skills (and a ball or two if you have them)

* You are paid $25.00 per hour, which is $25.00 per session, after each session by e-transfer

* You provide a simple receipt for each session showing the date, the length and the amount paid. I will give you a template if that helps

To apply, please tell me:

1. Your volleyball playing and coaching experience

2. Which evenings or weekend times you are free in November and December

3. One reference I can contact

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Pay: $25.00 per hour

Expected hours: 2.0 per week

Work Location: In person
