Preschool Sports Coach - Part-Time
Please note: this is a year-round position. If you can only work seasonally, this role isn't the right fit.
About the Role
Amazing Athletes, Karate Zoo & Soccer Stars is growing, and we're hiring energetic, positive, reliable coaches who love working with kids ages 2-10. No experience? No problem — we train you from day one and give you a clear path to raises. Our coaches typically teach 2-4 classes per morning, each about 25-30 minutes long. You're guaranteed pay for a minimum of 2 classes per morning.
Schedule
Every coach's schedule is a little different, but once your weekly classes are set, it stays very consistent. Most classes wrap up before noon (afternoon classes exist but are less common). A sample week might look like:
- Monday — School 1, 9:30am start, 3 classes
- Tuesday — School 2, 9:30am start, 2 classes
- Wednesday — School 3, 9:30am start, 2-3 classes
- Thursday — School 4, 9:30am start, 4 classes
- Friday — School 5, 9:30am start, 2 classes
Based on location, we try to keep coaches within 30 minutes of where they reside.
Pay
We pay per class with guaranteed raises as you grow. Classes are 25-30 minutes each.
