Coach the next generation.
We are building a team that helps kids grow through sport. Caring coaches, curious interns, builders who believe athletics can teach more than skills. If that sounds like the work you want to do, read on.
This is character work, disguised as sports.
Most youth sports jobs are babysitting with a whistle. We are not that. CORE coaches use movement, structured play, and one-on-one attention to build confidence, communication, leadership, and resilience in kids ages 3.5 to 12.
You will be in a small-group setting with a 1:5 coach to kid ratio. Your work will matter to specific families in real time. The kids will remember your name. The parents will too. And the skills you build here will translate to anywhere you go next.
Skills for sports. Lessons for life. This goes for our coaches too.
The kind of person who thrives here.
Athletics experience matters, but it is not the first thing we look for. These four qualities are.
Care about the kid in front of you
You notice the kid in the back, you remember names, you tune drills to who actually showed up that day.
Coach with patience and presence
You stay calm when the energy gets messy. You hold the room without raising your voice.
Run toward the hard moments
Tough conversations with parents, kids working through frustration, mistakes that need owning. You step in instead of stepping back.
Coachable yourself
You ask for feedback, you take notes, you adjust. We are a coaching organization that coaches its coaches.
Currently hiring.
Every CORE role connects to the same mission: helping kids build skills and character through sport. Pick the one that fits where you are.

A day on the field.
Three moments from the rhythm of a typical day coaching at CORE. Less administration, more time with kids than you would expect.
Set the floor
You arrive early, lay out equipment, plan the modifications you will make based on which kids showed up last week. The work that nobody sees is most of it.
Coach what they need
Warm-up, skill block, scrimmage, character moment. You read the room, modify the activity, give the quiet kid the high five they needed. Small groups, real attention.
Land the lesson
Quick parent check-in, send the photo to the family group chat, jot the note on what each kid is working on. Then you debrief with your fellow coaches. You walk out tired and exactly where you wanted to be.
What you actually take home.
-
01
Real mentorship. Senior coaches and the founding team work alongside you on the field. Coaching skills you build here translate to teaching, parenting, leadership, and anywhere else you go.
-
02
Pathways to advancement. Coaches grow into Senior Coach, Program Lead, and Director roles. Interns convert to staff. We promote from within.
-
03
Schedules that respect your life. Most coaching shifts are after-school, weekend, and summer windows. Built around school and other commitments.
-
04
A team that has each other's back. Small organization. Founder is on the field every week. You will know everyone you work with by name within a month.
-
05
The kids will remember you. A 1:5 coach to kid ratio means actual relationships. You will see kids grow over months and years. That is the part that sticks.
The reason I came back the next season was simple. The kids remember the small things you teach them. You see it land. That is the work I want to be doing.
