Revolutionary Sports (RevSports) is looking for enthusiastic, patient and articulate coaches who want to make learning sports educational and fun!
RevSports, established in 2001, is the Twin Cities leader in teaching kids how to play a sport. The RevSports approach is to teach age-appropriate technical and tactical aspects of the sport through instructional warm-ups, fun game-like activities and end playing a game or challenge. RevSports is rapidly growing and seeking more coaches who want to make an immediate, positive impact on children, ages 2-8. Following the RevSports curriculum is critical in the success of a player. Instructors learn to teach RevSports’ proprietary approach to teaching age-appropriate skills in a positive and fun environment. RevSports coaches lead classes in one (or two) seasonal sports. Most classes meet between 4:30-8:30 PM, and sessions run one-day per week, for a total of four weeks.
When participants enjoy and learn from a coach, they continue to sign up and follow that coach. We are looking for great coaches who are looking to build relationships that encourage players to grow their interest in sports.
