Do you love working with youth, teaching sports and wellness, and helping others improve?

Sports include soccer, flag football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, pickleball, and more! We provide all necessary training, equipment, and support. Being an ANTS Coach is a great way to learn to coach sports while serving our community. Great coaches will be invited to return for the whole school year and even summer/weekend programs!

Coach Responsibilities

  • Lead a fun & safe weekly sports practice for kids ages 5-10
  • Teach the FUNdamentals of sports through a cohesive and game-filled lesson plan. Training provided!

Requirements

  • Transportation: Coaches must have reliable transportation to their coaching sites. You may be required to bring equipment to & from class, so a vehicle is very helpful.
  • Responsible & professional: Arrive on time to each practice and keep accurate attendance. Interact with parents and school staff positively.
  • Communication: Have strong communication skills. You will communicate with ANTS, parents, and site staff through email and phone.
  • Enthusiastic & fun: ANTS coaches are positive role models for our students. We expect that you share our deep beliefs in the larger themes we are promoting: sportsmanship, wellness, and positivity.
  • Patience: Be a patient person who understands young children & their need to develop at their own pace.
  • Experience: Experience as a player or coach (at least two years) is highly valuable, though optional.
  • Background check: A successful candidate must pass a Federal and state Background Check and/or FBI Fingerprinting (Livescan) and test negative for TB test (within the last 4 years).

Benefits

  • Flexible Schedule: ability to work for a few hours in the afternoon while maintaining school and other commitments
  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Coach ongoing support and training
  • Gain experience in early childhood sports education

Pay: $25-35/hourly
