Who We Are
Amazing Athletes is an award-winning youth sports enrichment program that teaches the fundamentals of movement, motor skills, and sports to children ages 1 to 10 in a fun, engaging, and confidence-building environment. Our mission? To help kids build a love for movement, develop life skills, and have a blast doing it!
We’re launching in Colorado Springs this Fall and looking for experienced, dependable, high-energy coaches to help us grow our programs—and our impact!
Who You Are
- You must have prior experience working with young children, ideally in early childhood education (ECE), youth coaching, camp leadership, or a similar setting.
- A natural leader who can confidently and independently manage a class from Day 1.
- High-energy, silly (in the best way!), and genuinely love working with kids.
- A flexible, creative thinker—comfortable adapting lessons on the fly to meet the needs of a unique class.
- Organized, reliable, and self-motivated—you’re not afraid to jump in and help build something new.
- Bonus if you're excited about helping us grow! You'll also help with outreach at events and schools (with commission pay for sign-ups).
What You’ll Do
- Lead fun, movement-based sports classes for kids ages 1–10 using our curriculum (with room for your own creative spin)
- Instantly engage kids and manage class dynamics confidently and independently
- Represent our brand in schools, daycares, and community events with professionalism and enthusiasm
- Build relationships with families and school staff to help grow enrollment
- Help us shape our presence and operations in this brand-new Colorado Springs territory
- Must have hands-on experience working with young children (ages 1–6 especially preferred)
- Must have your own reliable vehicle with space to transport sports equipment
- Must be available weekday and some weekend mornings (afternoon flexibility is a plus)
- Willingness to obtain CPR/First Aid and Safesport certifications (we’ll help!)
- Soccer coaches should be willing to pursue a U.S. Soccer Grassroots license post-hire
- This role is ideal for someone who is not reliant on this job as their sole income source
Growth Opportunities
We’re just getting started here in Colorado Springs, so the opportunity to grow with us is real. Coaches who show leadership, initiative, and passion for our mission can grow into full-time leadership, management, or territory roles.
