Aspiring Full-Time Gymnastics Coach
Train at One of America’s Most Respected Gymnastics Organizations
Most Recreational Coaching Jobs Are Babysitting. This Isn’t.
Parkettes National Gymnastics Training Center is looking for motivated, energetic, and growth-minded individuals who want to become exceptional coaches and make a meaningful impact on young athletes.
This is more than a part-time coaching job.
This is an opportunity to learn inside one of the most respected gymnastics organizations in the United States and grow into a larger coaching role over time.
For more than 60 years, Parkettes has helped develop:
- 6 Team USA Olympians
- 11 World Championship Team Members
- 60 U.S. National Team Members
- 19 Olympic Trials Qualifiers
- 100+ NCAA Scholarship Athletes
- Thousands of confident young athletes
But what matters most is not the medals.
It’s the impact great coaches make on young people every single day.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
At Parkettes, recreational gymnastics is not viewed as “just rec.”
It is the foundation of athletic development, confidence, discipline, and character.
The right coach can completely change a child’s confidence, self-esteem, work ethic, and love for movement.
That responsibility matters here.
We are looking for future leaders, mentors, and coaches who want to grow inside a high-level coaching culture.
This Position Is NOT For You If:
- You just want extra spending money
- You struggle with energy or communication
- You dislike working with children
- You are unreliable or inconsistent
- You resist feedback or coaching
- You want an easy job
This Position IS For You If:
- You want meaningful work
- You enjoy athletics, movement, and coaching
- You want mentorship and professional growth
- You want to become great at coaching children
- You are positive, dependable, and energetic
- You are a team player
- You want to build leadership and communication skills
- You want an opportunity that can grow into a full-time coaching pathway
You do NOT need elite gymnastics experience.
We will train the right candidate.
Backgrounds in gymnastics, cheerleading, dance, tumbling, martial arts, athletics, teaching, childcare, or youth development are all valuable.
We can teach gymnastics skills.
We cannot teach:
- energy,
- work ethic,
- attitude,
- leadership,
- or genuine care for children.
What You’ll Do
- Coach recreational gymnastics classes for ages 3–12
- Create a positive, structured, and engaging environment

- Build confidence and discipline through movement
- Encourage athletes through challenges and fears
- Positively communicate with parents and athletes
- Learn Parkettes’ coaching systems and methodology
- Grow as a coach, mentor, and leader
Growth Opportunities
This position can grow into:
- Increased coaching hours
- Higher-level recreational groups
- Camps and clinics
- Pre-team opportunities
- Leadership responsibilities
- Long-term full-time coaching opportunities
We are looking for people who want to grow.
Why Coaches Stay at Parkettes
