You’d fit in here if…

• You have previous gymnastics coaching experience and feel confident teaching foundational gymnastics skills
• You naturally connect with parents and know how to lead and engage both children and their grown-ups throughout class
• You can manage a class independently while keeping kids engaged, safe, and motivated
• You understand how to adapt skills and progressions for different ages and ability levels
• You treat every class and every child like it’s their first day, every single week
• You take pride in being a leader on the floor and a role model for the team

You’d really shine if…

You may think we’re awesome because…

• You’ll stay active and moving throughout your workday
• You love talking with parents (and teaching them!)
• We take fun seriously, and we take child development and safety even more seriously
• You can get paid to fold t-shirts… or get paid to act like a superhero or dinosaur
• While this may not be your forever career, we will train and support you like it is

But seriously read the fine print…
