Youth Multi-Sport Coach - Walnut Creek - Winter/Spring 2027
About The Position
ANTS (America's Next Talented Stars) is hiring part-time Youth Multi-Sport Coaches to lead or assist weekly after-school sports programs at partner elementary schools and community locations in Walnut Creek.

ANTS provides training, equipment, and ongoing support; no previous coaching experience is required. The Winter/Spring 2027 season runs from January through May, and coaches must be available for the entire season. The commitment is approximately 5–10 hours per week, depending on the number of classes taught. Classes meet on the same day each week for a 10–14-week season, typically lasting one hour.

Coaches attend an in-person orientation and are assigned locations in coordination with the ANTS team.
