What is a skating coach?

Skating Coaches are professionals who teach individuals or groups how to skate, which may include figure skating, ice hockey, or inline skating. They provide instruction on skating techniques, safety, and sometimes choreography or game strategies. Skating Coaches work with students of all ages and abilities, helping them improve their skills, build confidence, and achieve their skating goals. They may work at ice rinks, sports clubs, schools, or independently. In addition to technical instruction, they often offer motivation and guidance to support their students’ development.

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

To thrive as a Skating Coach, you need extensive skating proficiency, knowledge of technique, and often coaching certifications such as those from national skating associations. Familiarity with video analysis tools, training equipment, and safety protocols is typically required. Strong communication, motivational skills, and patience help coaches effectively teach athletes of varying skill levels. These abilities are crucial for fostering athlete development, ensuring safety, and achieving competitive success.

What are some typical challenges that skating coaches face when working with beginner skaters?

Skating Coaches often encounter challenges such as helping beginners overcome fear of falling, building foundational balance and coordination, and maintaining motivation through early setbacks. Coaches must tailor their approach to each individual's learning pace, providing encouragement and clear feedback. Additionally, fostering a supportive and safe environment is key to ensuring new skaters feel comfortable and confident as they develop their skills.

THE SKATESIDE | Los Angeles Area

Starting at $23/hour | Approximately 3–10 hours/week

THE SKATESIDE is hiring dependable, responsible Youth Roller Skating 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 roller 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 roller skating proficiency is required, but you do not need to be an advanced or competitive roller skater.
We're more interested in finding someone who is mature, dependable, great with kids, and comfortable teaching basic roller skating 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 roller skating 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 roller skating, we'd like to meet you.
