Squash & Racquet Sports Development Coordinator

Friedman Jewish Community Center

The Friedman Jewish Community Center (JCC) is launching an exciting squash and racquet sports development initiative — and we are seeking a full‑time, energetic, skilled, and community‑minded leader to help build it from the ground up.

With two regulation squash courts, a strong regional racquetball and pickleball community, and a consultant providing strategic guidance, we are ready to grow. We need a motivated, personable, and athletic professional who wants to make an impact, develop programs, and grow into a broader leadership role within the JCC’s athletic and recreation department.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a recent college graduate, collegiate squash player, or young professional looking to launch a career in sports management, community recreation, or athletic administration.

• Event & rental support: assisting with room setup, breakdown, and transitions for community events and rentals.
• Facility oversight: helping maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.
• General support across departments to advance the JCC’s mission of serving the community.
