About The Position

Sports have the power to build confidence, teach resilience, create lifelong friendships, and inspire healthy habits that last a lifetime. As an After School Sports Instructor, you'll introduce elementary and middle school students to the joy of movement, teamwork, and healthy competition through engaging after school sports programs. Whether you're coaching Flag Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Softball/Baseball, Track and Field, or another sport, you'll help young athletes build new skills while creating an environment where every participant feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to succeed. Working alongside school districts, after school programs, and community partners, you'll create experiences that strengthen confidence, promote belonging, and help students discover what they're capable of both on and off the field. If you're passionate about coaching, mentoring young people, and making a positive impact through sports, we'd love to have you on our team. This is a grant funded, seasonal position supporting school based after school programs during the academic year.
