We go to program locations on a daily basis (primary north and/or south side of Indianapolis). The camps generally run 5 days a week from either 9‑12 or 1‑4.

Develop and lead age‑appropriate drills and exercises for ages 5‑12
Interact and engage with children while providing instruction
Set and enforce behavioral standards and rules
Requirements
"Make it work" attitude, always willing to adapt to different environments
Prior experience in coaching, teaching, or working with children
Knowledge and passion for sports
Experience managing groups of children; many classes are solo‑taught

Must be able to stand, walk, stoop, and kneel for extended periods
Must have a valid driver's license
