• Create a fun, inclusive, and positive learning environment
• Manage groups of children, providing guidance and support to ensure their safety and well‑being (group sizes can range from 8‑30, but generally are 12‑24)
• Develop and lead age‑appropriate drills and exercises for ages 5‑12
• Interact and engage with children while providing instruction
• Set and enforce behavioral standards and rules

• "Make it work" attitude, always willing to adapt to different environments
• Prior experience in coaching, teaching, or working with children

• Must be able to stand, walk, stoop, and kneel for extended periods

Additional opportunities are compensated on a per‑class basis (30‑minute class) or, in some cases, two camps per day. We offer paid training, coaching shirts, and all necessary equipment and training to run your class.
