Youth Sports Program Coordinator Jobs in Decatur, GA

Are You Ready to Serve and Dink Your Way Into an Exciting Opportunity?

Join TGA Premier Sports, the nation's leading youth sports program for Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball! We specialize in introducing children to sports through fun and engaging after-school programs, and while we're expanding into team sports like Cheerleading and Flag Football, we are currently hiring specifically for Tennis and Pickleball instructors in this listing.

If you're passionate about sports, love working with kids, and are ready to make a difference while having fun, we want you on our team!

This is a VERY part-time role with flexible hours, perfect for retirees, college students, stay-at-home parents, or anyone with a flexible schedule and a passion for working with children.

What You'll Do:

• Lead engaging sports classes for children aged 3-12 (Pre-K to 6th grade).
• Teach our pre-designed curriculum while adding your personal flair to create a fun and educational experience.
• Help kids develop a love for sports and physical fitness in a supportive environment.
• Attend virtual or in-person training to master TGA's coaching methods.

Position Details:

• Hours: 1-2 hours per day, 6-10 hours per week.
• Schedule: Afternoon classes between 2:00 PM-4:15 PM, following the school calendar (August-May).
• Location: Schools in the South Gwinnett and North Atlanta area.
• Opportunities: Summer camp roles available and preference for returning coaches next school year.

What We're Looking For:

• Enthusiastic individuals who love working with kids and can bring high energy to every class.
• A willingness to step out of your comfort zone and connect with children.
• Reliable transportation and availability during afternoon hours.
• Prior experience working with kids (coaching or teaching experience is a plus but not required).
• A passion for sports and fitness, with an openness to learn new skills.

Pay & New Hire Training:

We believe in setting up our coaches for success, which is why all new hires begin as Assistant Coaches. During this time, you'll:

• Train and learn TGA's curriculum and coaching methods.
• Prove your skills, commitment, and ability to work with kids.
• Serve as an Assistant Coach for one full session (unless otherwise stated in special circumstances).

Compensation Details:

• Starting pay: $18 per hour.
• You will also be paid for an additional 15 minutes of setup prior to class and 15 minutes of carpool/cleanup after class, ensuring your efforts are fully compensated.

Once you've successfully completed your session as an Assistant Coach and demonstrated your commitment and abilities, you may be promoted to Lead Coach with opportunities for increased responsibilities and pay.

Grow With Us:

TGA Premier Sports isn't just a program-it's a community where coaches can grow and thrive. We're committed to supporting your growth and recognizing your contributions:

• Training & Development: Comprehensive training to build skills, master TGA's methods, and take on new responsibilities.
• Compensation for Growth: Coaches who excel in their roles and take on additional responsibilities are compensated accordingly.
• Performance-Based Raises: We reward commitment, reliability, and outstanding performance with regular raises.
• Opportunities to Advance: Play a key role in helping us expand and enhance all of our sports programs, from Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball to emerging programs like Cheerleading and Flag Football. Your leadership and creativity can help shape the future of youth sports in our community.

The Commitment We Need From You:

At TGA Premier Sports, our partnerships with schools depend on consistent and reliable coaching staff. It's CRUCIAL that all hired coaches honor their contracts for the full session. Backing out mid-session is not an option, as it disrupts our classes, schools, and students, and violates the trust established during our rigorous screening process. If you can commit to seeing each session through, we'd love to have you join our team.

Important Note About Drug Testing:

Each school requires its own separate drug test, which consists of a 90-day hair follicle screening. This test provides an extended detection window, so it's essential to ensure you are prepared well in advance. Some schools may require additional drug tests throughout the year.

We've found that applicants unfamiliar with the 90-day hair follicle test sometimes fail due to attempts to pass quickly. Please ensure you meet this requirement before applying to avoid complications. This process is non-negotiable and critical to maintaining our trusted partnerships with schools.

Requirements

• Ability to pass a 90-day hair follicle drug test (and additional tests if required by schools).
• Complete online training and paperwork promptly.
• Commit to the entire session you're contracted for (with the option to extend your contract).
• Be able to lift up to 50 pounds of equipment.

Benefits

Why Join TGA Premier Sports?

• Be part of the nation's leading youth sports program for Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball, and help shape the future as we expand into team sports like Cheerleading and Flag Football.
• Enjoy a flexible schedule that works with your lifestyle.
• Make a difference by helping children build confidence, coordination, and a love for sports.
• Grow your skills and advance in your career with ongoing support, training, and performance-based raises.
