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
(Sample only — your actual schedule may vary. 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.
- Junior Coach — $13/class ($26/hr): Your first 6 months — shadowing, training, and solo teaching with regular check-ins. Usually after 2-3 weeks, you are teaching on your own with regular quality check-ins.
- Lead Coach — $14/class ($28/hr): Eligible after 6 months of strong performance. You'll run classes independently with reliable communication and solid classroom management.
- Senior Coach (highest level) — $15/class ($30/hr): Eligible after 12 months of consistent, high-quality coaching. You'll take the lead on larger classes and special programming, and help train new junior coaches. (Must pass all evaluations.)
