Job description

CSP is one of the largest and fastest-growing private youth sports organizations in the GTA. We create fun, engaging experiences that build confidence and lasting memories for the youth and families in our communities! We’re looking for energetic, enthusiastic, and kid-friendly basketball coaches to join our team!

Our program starts with children from the ages of 2-10 years of age, and gets them excited about "organized activities." At that age, it's way more about fun and fist pumps than it is about winning. However, as players grow we focus on dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork. By the time they hit ages 5 or 6 we introduce them to scrimmages and then onto more competitive play thereafter. We continue to progress through to our older kids, who can be more focused on game-like situations and skill development.

We are currently hiring for Youth Basketball Coaches who have experience working with children from ages 2 - 10. Preference for coaches with experience across a wider age range.

• Passionate about working with and engaging young children is a must.
• Availability on weekday evenings (between 4pm - 8pm) and/or weekends (between 9am - 12pm on Saturday/ Sunday).
• Reliable and professional.
• Energetic, enthusiastic, and outgoing personality who enjoys working with children, parents, and co-workers.
• Able to be playful, fun, and imaginative with children.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to effectively interact with children and deliver feedback to parents.
• High energy individual who is physically fit and able to coach soccer skills/games with young children for 2+ hours
• Available to work through Summer and Winter seasons.

Ideal Experience:

• Experience working with children of all ages from 2-14.
• Preference for experienced soccer coaches who are able to work with both Toddler and Youth ages
• Experience with other types of young child sports organizations (SportBall, City Camps, Pedalheads, etc.) or soccer environments (Little Kickers, Timbits Soccer, House Leagues, etc.)
• Coaching certification (Active Start, FUNdamentals, Learn to Train, etc.) is an asset

Compensation: $18-23 per hour
