Coach - Multi-Sport (Generalist) at Sportyard

Description

The Role (Plain English)

You coach movement, not just a sport.

As a Multi-Sport Coach, you lead structured classes and sessions across a variety of activities — basketball, volleyball, speed & agility, and general athletic development. Your job is to keep kids moving, improving, and confident in a high-energy, well-run environment.

You’re expected to be adaptable, prepared, and actively engaged on the floor.

What You’re Responsible For (Outcomes, Not Tasks)

1. High-quality sessions

• Classes start on time and run with purpose
• Kids stay active and engaged
• Drills are clear, safe, and age-appropriate

2. Skill development

• You teach fundamentals that transfer across sports
• You give simple, effective cues (not lectures)
• Kids leave better than they arrived

3. Safety & structure

• Rules are enforced consistently
• You manage group size and flow
• You stop unsafe behavior immediately

4. Energy & presence

• You bring positive, confident energy
• You command attention without yelling
• Parents feel comfortable leaving their kids with you

5. Team standards

• You follow Sportyard programming and expectations
• You communicate issues or needs clearly
• You represent the brand professionally

Who This Role Is For

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Have experience coaching kids or leading group activities
• Are comfortable teaching multiple sports or skills
• Care more about fundamentals than ego
• Can adapt on the fly while staying structured

Former athletes, PE teachers, camp counselors, and youth coaches tend to do well.

Requirements

• Must be 18+
• Prior youth coaching or group leadership experience
• Comfortable coaching basketball, volleyball, and general athletic movement
• CPR / First Aid certified (or willing to obtain)
• Willing to work nights, weekends, and camps

Benefits
