Requirements
- Enthusiastic individuals who love working with kids and can bring high energy to every class.
- A willingness to step out of your comfort zone and connect with children.

Commitment
At TGA Premier Sports, our partnerships with schools depend on consistent and reliable coaching staff. It’s crucial that all hired coaches honor their contracts for the full session. Backing out mid-session is not an option, as it disrupts our classes, schools, and students.
Drug Testing
Each school requires its own separate drug test, consisting of a 90-day hair follicle screening. Some schools may require additional drug tests throughout the year. This process is non-negotiable and critical to maintaining our trusted partnerships with schools.
