Head of Squash / Athletics
University Club of San Francisco
The University Club of San Francisco is seeking a Head of Squash / Athletics to lead the revival and growth of our squash program. This is a high-visibility opportunity for a polished squash professional who combines strong coaching credentials with the energy to build community, grow participation, and create a vibrant member experience.
This role is primarily squash-focused, leading adult and junior programming, lessons, leagues, clinics, tournaments, and member engagement. The position also includes the opportunity to support select wellness and fitness-adjacent initiatives that complement squash participation and enhance the Club's athletic experience.
About the Role
The Head of Squash will serve as the face of the program and a visible leader within the Club's athletic community. We are looking for someone who can restore momentum to a valued program, create strong member relationships, and help shape the next chapter of squash at the Club.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and grow the Club's squash program with a strong focus on participation, instruction, organization, and member engagement.
- Deliver private, semi-private, and group lessons for adults and juniors across a range of skill levels.
- Organize singles and doubles play, clinics, ladders, leagues, round robins, and tournaments.
- Rebuild and strengthen junior squash through lessons, clinics, camps, and family-friendly programming.
- Create a welcoming and energetic squash culture by connecting members and encouraging regular play; Introduce new squash members to the Club by arranging games and connecting them with other members.
- Plan and execute squash events, exhibitions, championships, and community-building activities.
- Maintain clear communication regarding schedules, sign-ups, lessons, and programming.
- Support pro shop activity, racquet stringing services, and operational administration duties.
- Help uphold high standards for court presentation, safety, and day-to-day facility readiness.

- Private-club, academy, school, or similarly service-oriented experience is preferred.

- Lead the revival of a meaningful club squash program.
- Build a stronger athletic community around squash.
- Shape adult and junior programming with visible impact.
- Help define a broader squash-and-wellness member experience.
- Become a trusted and visible leader within a distinguished private-club environment.
