Multi-Sport Lead Coach (Ages 1-10)

Amazing Athletes – Colorado Springs

Help Build Something Special

Amazing Athletes is looking for an exceptional coach to join our founding team as we expand throughout Colorado Springs.

This isn't just another coaching position. We're building one of the area's premier youth enrichment programs, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us.

Our educational sports classes introduce children to the fundamentals of multiple sports while helping them develop confidence, coordination, teamwork, listening skills, and a lifelong love of being active.

Our primary focus is preschool-aged children (around age 3), with opportunities to coach children ages 1–10 as our programs continue to grow into schools, public classes, camps, and after-school enrichment.

If you're energetic, dependable, and passionate about helping young children learn through play, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Lead fun, engaging Amazing Athletes classes for young children
• Create a positive and encouraging environment where every child feels successful
• Teach age-appropriate sports skills through games, imagination, and movement
• Build relationships with school staff, parents, and children
• Arrive prepared and ready to lead each class with enthusiasm
• Represent Amazing Athletes with professionalism and positivity

Requirements

• Who We're Looking For We're searching for someone who naturally connects with young children and brings energy into every room. You must be a natural leader who can walk into a room of preschoolers, quickly earn their attention, and confidently lead a fun, engaging class independently from day one. This role requires a big personality—if you're uncomfortable leading with enthusiasm, energy, and confidence, this position is probably not the right fit.
• The ideal candidate is: Positive and enthusiastic
• Comfortable leading groups independently
• Patient and encouraging
• Reliable and punctual
• Confident speaking with parents and school staff
• Physically active and enjoys being on the move
• Excited to grow with a rapidly expanding company

Requirements

• 18 years or older
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to travel throughout Colorado Springs
• Ability to lift and carry sports equipment (approximately 30 lbs.)
• Comfortable working indoors and outdoors
• Ability to demonstrate movement and participate actively during classes
• Successfully pass a background check
• CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in one or more of the following is strongly preferred: Early Childhood Education (ECE)
• Preschool or Pre-K Teaching
• Elementary Education
• Child Development
• Youth Sports Coaching
• Recreation Programming
• Pediatric Therapy
• Summer Camps or Childcare
• Professional experience working with children ages 1–6 is highly preferred.
• Knowledge of sports is also preferred, but you do not need to be an expert in every sport.
• Our curriculum is specifically designed for preschool-aged children and focuses on introducing basic skills through fun, age-appropriate activities. We provide comprehensive lesson plans and training, making it easy for someone with a general sports background—or even experience in just one or two sports—to quickly become confident teaching our programs.
• The most important qualification is your ability to connect with children and create an engaging, positive experience every class.
• Schedule
• Current coaching opportunities are primarily: Weekday mornings (approximately 9:00 AM–12:00 PM)
• As we continue growing, opportunities will expand to include: Afternoons
• Evenings
• Saturdays
• School breaks
• Camps
• Special events
