And also note that not all clubs are non-profits. What do marketing managers and marketing directors at similar roles make in the area? If a talented director, he or she could take one of those roles as well. Instructors are on a different pay scale. Remember that your department head should be more of an administrative position at your club than an instructor. Call the other clubs in the area, and find out how they have compensated their department head and look at their program size and membership numbers at the same time. We should do the same in terms of filling a Director of Tennis or Fitness position. By comps we mean just that – you don’t buy a house without investigating comparable houses and their selling points in the area.

With on-court revenue splits, independent contractor versus employee status, and with non-profit 501(c)7 clubs competing within the same personnel talent pool against for-profit clubs and corporations, the question will forever be at the forefront of our industry when hiring that new staff member. There are so many ways to slice a pie, there seems to be no clear industry standard as to what a “regular” compensation package should be for an instructor or a Director of Tennis or Fitness.
