Preschool Sports Instructor (Ages 3-5)

Fairfax, VA
Part Time

  • Responsibilities

    $20-$30/hr | Part-Time | Flexible Schedule

    Teaching sports to a 3-year-old is its own skill. We run preschool sports programs for kids ages 3-5 at schools and rec centers across Fairfax County, Loudoun, Arlington, and Herndon. We need an instructor who is patient, playful, and can turn basic movement into the best part of a toddler week.

    This is not a typical coaching job. It is part coach, part entertainer, part wrangler - and it is incredibly rewarding.

    What you will do:

    • Lead preschool sports classes introducing kids ages 3-5 to movement and basic sport skills
    • Rotate through age-appropriate activities - kicking, throwing, running, balancing, catching
    • Keep energy high and chaos controlled (this is a skill - we value it)
    • Manage your class independently - setup, instruction, dismissal
    • Ensure every child is safely released to a parent or guardian

    What we are looking for:

    • Experience working with toddlers and preschool-age kids (daycare, preschool, camps, rec - all counts)
    • Warm, high-energy personality - these kids need fun, not drills
    • Patience in abundance
    • Comfortable with unpredictability (it is 3-year-olds - expect the unexpected)
    • Reliable, punctual, professional
    • Must pass background check + fingerprinting
    • Reliable transportation to assigned sites

    Pay and Schedule:

    • $20-$25/hr to start based on experience
    • Up to $30/hr for returning, experienced instructors
    • 1-4 days/week depending on your availability
    • Weekday mornings, afternoons, and/or weekends
