Lil's Sport Coach - Lacrosse (Creative Design)

The Lils Sport Coach - Lacrosse is responsible for delivering fun, friendly, and structured weekly youth development classes for children aged 18 months to 12 years. These classes focus on sport-specific activities and games that promote each child's development in a safe and creative learning environment. The ideal candidate is enthusiastic, energetic, professional and enjoys working with children. Coaches must be effective communicators, team players, and organized individuals who can manage childrens behavior. Above all, they should foster a fun and engaging environment for learning and play. The Lil's Sport Coach reports directly to the Youth Programs Director.

The Lils Sport Coach will supervise and independently teach youth development classes with up to 15 students. They serve as the primary point of contact for students and parents, providing excellent customer service while welcoming new participants and orienting them to the program. Coaches are expected to greet all participants before and after each class, answering questions about the Lils program and maintaining a detailed knowledge of the facility and its other offerings.
