Hiring foreign coaches for an academy in China

  • Work permits. Foreign coaches need a work permit and a Z visa, which usually requires a bachelor’s degree, two years of relevant experience, a criminal-record certificate and a medical check. Tell us your requirements and we focus the shortlist on coaches who can realistically qualify.
  • Competitive packages. Many international coaches expect accommodation or a housing allowance, return flights and the work visa on top of salary.
  • A clear workload. State coaching hours or sessions per month and the contract length — coaches compare these closely.
  • High-performance roles. ATP- or WTA-level coaches sit at the top of the market, so budget accordingly.
  • Language. Most international coaches work in English; tell us if Mandarin is required.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can TNA find a coach?

Shortlists usually arrive within days of a clear brief — sport, level, start date and package. Senior or very specialised roles can take longer.

How much does it cost to hire a coach through TNA?

Choose one of three models: Option A, a $499.99 monthly retainer with unlimited candidates and no per-hire fee; Option B, 10% of the coach’s monthly salary paid monthly for 12 months; or Option C, 50% of the first month’s salary as a single payment. Options B and C include a free replacement guarantee.

What happens if a coach doesn’t work out?

Options B and C include a free replacement guarantee: TNA finds you a replacement coach at no extra cost.

Do you help with work visas?

TNA confirms each candidate’s visa status and supports visa-aware onboarding. The employer sponsors the visa, and immigration decisions are made by the authorities.

Which sports does TNA recruit for?

Tennis, padel, fitness (strength & conditioning, athletic performance, physiotherapy) and soccer — for academies, clubs, schools, hotels and resorts.

Can foreign tennis coaches get a work permit in China?

Usually, if they have a bachelor’s degree and two or more years of relevant experience. Coaches with an exceptional professional record can sometimes qualify on that record. Tell us your requirements and we shortlist accordingly.
