• An appreciation for collaboration with fellow coaches and a willingness to work as a team to provide the best experience for our clientele.

Typical responsibilities

• Helping to construct comprehensive programs based on the goals of the member base and the business.
• Continuously evaluating and evolving aspects of the programs to keep children engaged and to foster perpetual growth.
• Coaching 2–5 times per week, typically in the evenings, although other programs may occur earlier in the day.
• Ensuring that safety protocols are followed by children, and that children are behaving respectfully toward one another.
• Cultivating a warm, inviting, and open environment for children to explore and learn.

A strong climbing skill set will be necessary to assume this position, as you will be working with talented youth athletes. We are excited to work with individuals who are motivated to learn more about coaching and derive a tremendous amount of joy from witnessing an individual's relationship with climbing evolve.
