Lead. Inspire. Play. Make a difference every day.

Are you a skilled leader with a background in teaching, child development, or human resources? Are you passionate about early childhood learning and ready to shape a supportive, engaging coaching culture? We're hiring a Operations & Coaching Director to lead our children's soccer and t-ball coaching team. You will collaborate with the Executive Director in recruitment, hiring and training, class scheduling, supervising the part-time coaching staff, on-site check-ins with school and location partners, and assist with the communication to locations and families in our system.

This is a full-time, year-round position (not seasonal or temporary), starting mid-to-late July.

At Youth Athlete United, we believe that every child is an athlete. We create fun, active learning experiences that help children grow socially, emotionally, and physically—starting as young as age one. This role is perfect for someone who brings a strong understanding of child development along with leadership and organizational strengths.
