Job description

Start as a Junior Coach — Grow Into a Lead & Senior Coach

Please note: this is a year-round position. If you can only work seasonally, this role isn't the right fit.

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.

If you want a light, mostly-mornings schedule (5–10 hours/week), tons of high-fives, and a job where you actually make a kid's day — keep reading.

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.

What the Schedule Looks Like

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 Structure — Transparent & Growing

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. You'll learn the curriculum, build confidence, and gain experience. Usually after 2-3 weeks, you are teaching on your own but we do regular check ups with the school and pop in visits to ensure quality.
• 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.)

What You'll Do

• Teach 25–30 minute classes at preschools and recreation centers
• Run fun, structured activities that build motor skills and confidence
• Follow our age-appropriate Amazing Athletes curriculum
• Set up and clean up light equipment (we provide it)
• Communicate clearly with management and school staff
• Create a safe, engaging, high-energy environment

Who We're Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you're:

• Outgoing, energetic, and love working with kids
• Dependable and professional
• Comfortable leading small groups
• Able to reliably travel between schools
• A great communicator
• Looking for a flexible, part-time schedule
• Are looking for a LONG TERM part-time position. Please do not apply if you are looking for seasonal work.

Experience in coaching, childcare, sports, or teaching is a plus — but not required. We train every coach.

Requirements

• Must be great with kids
• Must be able to pass PA clearances (FBI fingerprint, Child Abuse, State Police)
• Must have reliable transportation
• Must be able to lift 25–40 lbs of equipment
• Must be punctual and reliable
