Start as a Junior Coach — Grow Into a Lead & Senior Coach

Amazing Athletes, Karate Zoo & Soccer Stars is expanding, and we’re looking for energetic, positive, reliable coaches who love working with kids ages 2–10. No experience? No problem — we train you and give you a clear growth path.

This position is perfect for anyone who is looking for a light schedule (5-10 hours per week), has lots of energy and is great with kids!

Our coaches typically teach 2-4 classes per morning, each class being 30 minutes long. Get paid for a minimum 2 classes per morning.

Schedule

Each coaches schedule varies but once you have your weekly classes, it can be very consistent. Here is an example of a coach schedule. Most classes are done before noon unless you are picking up afternoon classes as well which could be available after training but they are not as common.

Monday: School A: Lancaster- 9:30am start time and 3 classes every Monday

Tuesday: School B: Lancaster- 9:30am start time and 2 classes every Tuesday

Wednesday: School C: Lancaster- 9:30am start time and 2 or 3 classes every Wednesday

Thursday: School D: Lancaster- 9:30am start time and 4 classes every Thursday

Friday: School E: Lancaster- 9:30am start time and 2 classes every Friday

Please note the above is a sample schedule and might not be exact!
