Youth Sports & Fitness Coach

About the role

KidStrong Edina is hiring energetic, outgoing coaches to join our brand-new team! At KidStrong, we help kids become stronger, smarter, more confident, and better prepared for life through a science-based curriculum focused on physical, cognitive, and character development.

We're looking for people with great energy, strong communication skills, reliability, and a genuine desire to make an impact on kids. You do not need to be a personal trainer or professional sports coach. We provide training and teach you the KidStrong curriculum.

Responsibilities

• Coach fun, high-energy KidStrong classes for children from crawling through age 11
• Learn and deliver KidStrong's science-based curriculum
• Help kids develop physical skills, confidence, character, and problem-solving abilities
• Build positive relationships with kids and their parents
• Learn each child's individual needs and help them succeed
• Create a safe, encouraging, and engaging class environment
• Work alongside a supportive coaching team
• Help keep the center clean, organized, and ready for classes
• Participate in ongoing coach training and development

You might be a great fit if you...

• Love working with kids
• Bring positive energy and aren't afraid to be enthusiastic, playful, or loud
• Are comfortable leading groups and speaking in front of both kids and adults
• Are dependable and show up ready to give your best
• Communicate well with parents and teammates
• Enjoy sports, fitness, teaching, coaching, performing, or working with children
• Are open to feedback and excited to grow as a coach
• Can obtain CPR certification

Experience in youth sports, education, childcare, camps, gymnastics, dance, fitness, theater, recreation, or coaching is a plus — but we are willing to train the right person.

Benefits

• $20/hour
• Paid training
• Flexible part-time scheduling
• Additional earning opportunities through camps, parties, and special events
• Leadership and advancement opportunities
• A fun, active work environment
• The opportunity to make a real difference for kids and families

Schedule

This is a part-time coaching position primarily during:

• Weekday evenings: approximately 4:00–7:30 PM
• Weekend mornings: approximately 9:00 AM–1:00 PM

Additional hours may be available through camps, birthday parties, Parents' Night Out events, community events, and school-break programming.
