Amazing Athletes: Seeking Experienced Karate Coaches in NYC!

The Company:

Youth Athletes United was created to provide the best programming and service in the market for youth sports, starting with a child's first sports experience. Our goal is to provide an experience where every child is an athlete. The long-term impact will allow us to create healthy habits at a young age, teach life skills, and increase youth activity across the board.

The Position:

We seek a dynamic and enthusiastic Karate Coach to join our fantastic child development team.

As a Karate Coach, you will work with small groups of children across various ages (2-12), developing their discipline, focus, physical literacy, and confidence through the practice of Karate.

Our Coaches provide individualized attention to ensure every child can succeed. Our Coaches use a non-competitive approach to ensure classes are fun, in a stress-free environment. Our Coaches use positive reinforcement to encourage children to do better and celebrate success. And finally, our coaches have a blast! They are open-minded and know that coaching is a continuous journey. All Coaches are open to feedback and strive to be better by attending regular training and following the Amazing Athletes Coaching Manual.

Requirements
  • Minimum of 1-2 years of experience coaching Karate at various youth levels.
  • Experience working with children, preferably in a sports-related setting.
  • Ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with children and parents.
  • Strong Karate background (e.g., specific belt/dan level) and knowledge of martial arts in general.
  • Passion for working with children and improving their physical literacy, gross motor skills, discipline, and socialization skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Flexibility to work weekends and/or evenings.
  • Reliable transportation to and from coaching locations.

Benefits

    •  Competitive starting pay is $30/hr with the potential to earn up to $45/hr pending experience.
    • Rewarding Work: Working with children can be incredibly fulfilling as you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on their lives and contribute to their development and growth.
    • Opportunity for Creativity: Working with kids often allows for creative expression and innovative teaching methods to engage and inspire the next generation of players.
    • Professional Development: Positions involving working with children often provide opportunities for professional development, including training in child development, educational techniques, and behavior management strategies.
    • Flexible Schedule: We can work with your availability to create the most mutually beneficial schedule.
    • Let me know if you would like me to modify any other sections, like updating the age range or emphasizing a particular style of karate!
