What does a skateboarding coach do?

A skateboarding coach teaches individuals or groups how to skateboard safely and effectively, focusing on skill development, proper techniques, and safety practices. They design lesson plans tailored to each student's abilities, provide demonstrations, and offer constructive feedback to help skaters progress. Coaches may also prepare athletes for competitions, help them set and achieve goals, and foster a positive and supportive environment. Additionally, they educate students on equipment maintenance and injury prevention.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a skateboarding coach?

To thrive as a Skateboarding Coach, you need advanced skateboarding skills, teaching experience, and often a background in sports coaching or related certifications. Familiarity with safety equipment, video analysis tools, and basic first aid is typically required. Patience, strong communication, and motivational abilities are crucial soft skills that help engage and inspire students. These competencies ensure safe instruction, skill progression, and a supportive learning environment for skaters of all levels.

What are some common challenges faced by skateboarding coaches when working with beginner students?

One of the main challenges for skateboarding coaches working with beginners is helping students overcome fear and build confidence on the board. Coaches must create a safe and supportive environment, breaking down skills into manageable steps and ensuring proper safety gear is used. Additionally, coaches often need to balance group instruction with personalized feedback, as each student progresses at a different pace. Patience, clear communication, and strong observational skills are key to guiding beginners through their initial learning curve.

THE SKATESIDE | Los Angeles Area
Starting at $23/hour | Approximately 3–10 hours/week

THE SKATESIDE is hiring dependable, responsible Youth Skateboarding Coaches for our children's programs throughout Los Angeles.
Typical school-year programs run Monday–Friday between approximately 2:00–5:00 PM, with most individual shifts lasting 1.5–2 hours. Additional hours may be available through camps, weekend programs, private lessons, and special events.
You don't need to work every weekday. You choose the days that consistently work for you. However, once you accept a recurring program, we count on you to be there every week for the duration of that program.

This Is a Coaching Job
This is not a position where you simply skate alongside kids.

Our coaches teach structured lessons, demonstrate skills, manage groups, maintain safety, communicate professionally with parents and school staff, and help children build confidence.
Basic skateboarding proficiency is required, but you do not need to be an advanced or competitive skateboarder.
We're more interested in finding someone who is mature, dependable, great with kids, and comfortable teaching basic skateboarding skills.
Program Locations
We are currently hiring coaches for programs in:
  • Culver City
  • Santa Monica
Coaches may be assigned to one or both areas based on availability and program needs. Reliable transportation is required.



Pay & Opportunities
  • Starting pay: $23/hour

  • Opportunities to advance to approximately $23–$25/hour based on reliability, performance, experience, and responsibilities
  • Additional $2/hour for qualifying childcare/child-development credentials
  • Seasonal reliability and performance bonuses

  • Opportunities for additional hours through camps, weekend programs, private lessons, and special events
We're Looking For Someone Who:
  • Is dependable and consistently on time
  • Has basic skateboarding skills
  • Enjoys working with children
  • Can confidently lead and manage a group of kids
  • Communicates professionally with parents and staff
  • Is comfortable working independently
  • Has reliable transportation
  • Can commit to the same assigned weekday(s) each week
  • Can follow THE SKATESIDE lesson plans and safety procedures
Previous experience in childcare, youth sports, after-school programs, camps, recreation, education, mentoring, or coaching is strongly preferred.
Child Safety Requirements
Selected coaches must:
  • Complete General Child Care Mandated Reporter Training

  • Provide a qualifying TB test/clearance

  • Complete/pass the required Live Scan background check

  • Complete THE SKATESIDE training and safety requirements
Already completed Mandated Reporter Training? Great. Candidates who already have this training and/or professional experience working with children may receive hiring preference.
About THE SKATESIDE
Since 2015, THE SKATESIDE has helped thousands of children learn to skate while developing confidence, perseverance, independence, and character.
We're looking for coaches who understand that families and children are counting on them. If you're dependable, professional, good with kids, and love skateboarding, we'd like to meet you.
