Make a positive difference in America's youth by coaching after-school sports programs while supporting the operational needs of ANTS. No previous coaching experience is required – we provide comprehensive training for all interns.

Do you love working with youth, teaching sports and wellness, and are eager to learn the behind-the-scenes of running a youth sports organization? As a Youth Sports Coach Intern with ANTS (America's Next Talented Stars), you’ll both coach and assist with operational tasks in support of our programs at San Francisco area elementary schools. The Spring Season runs from January - June 2025 (must be available for the entire season). Successful interns may be offered future leadership roles. Time commitment is 3-10 hours per week, depending on coaching and operational needs.

Coaching:

  • Lead or assist with fun and safe weekly sports practices for kids ages 5-10
  • Teach the fundamentals of sports through game-filled lesson plans (training provided)
  • Ensure program safety and reliability by arriving on time each week throughout the season

Schedule

  • Coaching: Classes generally occur between 2 - 5 p.m. on a consistent weekday for a 10 to 14-week season. Each class lasts for 1 to 3 hours. Some programs may have back-to-back sessions for different age groups.
  • Operations: Flexible work hours to complete operational and marketing tasks, with some remote and some on-site responsibilities, averaging a total of 3 - 5 hours per week.
