At Seattle Gymnastics Academy, we operate programs under three categories: Play, Learn and Compete. Our Recreational classes, under the Learn umbrella, are at the heart of what we do—teaching strength, skill, and character through gymnastics. As a Recreational Coach, you will help kids of all ages, genders and abilities discover their own strength and confidence. Perhaps you were a gymnast yourself, enjoy watching the Olympics, or are new to the sport but love teaching and being a positive figure in kids’ lives.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to work in a fun and dynamic environment.

• Closures and breaks for most holidays and/or school breaks so staff and gymnasts can spend time with family and friends.

• Free adult classes for your own fitness.
• Discounts for class tuition and academic preschool enrollment for immediate family members.
• An energetic work environment with plenty of opportunities for career growth.

• Teaching progressive gymnastics classes in one of our many departments – Preschool, Recreational, Trampoline & Tumbling, and more. Many instructors work in multiple departments, teaching a wide range of ages and levels, and we will work with you to determine your best fit.
• Creating your own lesson plans that are purposeful in teaching progressive gymnastics, aligned with the skill chart per level. You will get to be creative while we provide resources, training and state‑of‑the‑art equipment.
• Maintaining a consistent attendance of class schedules (once set). We work with coaches to ensure schedules are compatible with personal availability, and ask that coaches honor their commitments.
• Tracking skill development and communicating with parents about their child’s progression, through both face‑to‑face chats and progress chart updates in our online platform.
• Participating in paid training opportunities such as SGA University courses, USA Gymnastics clinics, and sessions offered by in‑house trainers.
• Assisting with light cleaning duties to keep gyms fresh and ready for the next round of classes.
