Responsibilities

• Lead small groups of children ages 2–5 through age-appropriate, playful, skill-based sessions using Skyhawks' proven Tots curriculum.
• Warmly welcome and engage parents — some sessions have parents on the sideline cheering, others have them right there on the field with their child.
• Create an environment where even the shyest toddler feels safe enough to try something new.
• Communicate with warmth and confidence with parents before and after sessions — they trust you with their most precious people.
• Set up equipment and keep sessions safe, organized, and full of fun.
• Represent Skyhawks with pride and help families feel like they found exactly the right place.

Requirements

• You're the person everyone says is "so good with little kids" — and you've heard it your whole life.
• You bring a natural combination of patience, playfulness, and nurturing presence — not one or the other, all three.
• You know that a 3-year-old having a meltdown isn't a problem to manage, it's a child who needs connection — and you know how to give it.
• You're a stay-at-home parent ready for a meaningful part-time role, a retired teacher or early childhood educator, a daycare or preschool veteran, or simply someone who has always known that tiny humans are your people.
• You're reliable: you show up, you follow through, you never leave a group of toddlers and parents wondering where their coach is.
• You care about more than a paycheck — you want work that genuinely matters.
• You don't need a sports resume. You need a heart for little ones and the energy to match.
• Experience in childcare, early childhood education, preschool, or parenting absolutely counts here. Some sports background is a bonus, not a requirement.

Qualifications

• You have a valid Driver's License and reliable transportation.
• You are available to travel to the following cities: Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Avimor, Star.
• You are available for evening classes and/or Saturday mornings between 9am–12pm.
• You have a background with young children — whether that's parenting, teaching, childcare, or something else entirely.
• The most important thing a coach can give a 3-year-old is creating a safe and engaging environment where they feel comfortable trying new things.
• The single most important thing to you is making a positive impact on the lives of children and seeing them grow and develop through your work.

• Flexible scheduling built around your life — evenings and Saturday mornings (9am–12pm).
• A team that sees your gift and celebrates it.
• The opportunity to grow into additional coaching roles and Director opportunities as we expand.
• Meaningful work you'll actually talk about — because it mattered to a child who will never forget you.
