Job Description:

Job Description Job Description The Role (Plain English) You run a zone. That means you’re responsible for safety, flow, energy, and coaching-adjacent guidance within one or more activity zones (trick shots, open gym areas, sports skill challenges). Kids should be moving, smiling, and improving — not standing around, arguing, or doing unsafe stuff. If a parent watches your zone for 5 minutes, they should think: “That person knows what they’re doing.” What You’re Responsible For (Outcomes, Not Tasks) 1. Safety is never compromised You actively position yourself to see the whole zone You stop unsafe behavior before it becomes an issue You enforce rules calmly and confidently You escalate injuries or incidents immediately and correctly 2. Flow stays high Lines move Kids don’t clog equipment You adjust rules, reps, or rotations to keep things moving No dead time. No confusion. 3. Energy stays up You engage kids by name when possible You encourage effort, not just results You bring presence — not phone-leaning, wall-hugging energy 4. Coaching-adjacent guidance You give quick tips that help kids succeed You demonstrate when needed You do not run formal training sessions — but kids leave better than they arrived 5. Parents feel confident Parents know who’s in charge You communicate clearly when needed You represent Sportyard professionally at all times What a Great Shift Looks Like No safety incidents High participation, minimal waiting Kids rotate naturally without being told constantly Parents don’t hover because they trust you The next facilitator can step in without chaos What This Role Is Not Babysitting Standing in a corner Refereeing arguments Watching from your phone “Just a summer job” mentality Who This Is For You’ll do well here if you: Like being active and on your feet Have experience in sports, camps, coaching, or leading groups of kids Can command attention without yelling Are comfortable enforcing rules with both kids and adults Care about doing things the right way Former (or current) athletes, coaches, camp counselors, and PE leaders tend to thrive.
