We specialize in acrobatics and tumbling training for children and teens, including dancers, cheerleaders, gymnasts, and athletes who want to develop their acrobatic skills.

We are looking for someone with a background in gymnastics, acrobatics, tumbling, cheerleading, dance, or circus arts who enjoys working with young athletes and is interested in growing as a coach.

Previous coaching experience is an asset, but we are also open to candidates with a strong athletic background who are motivated to learn. Training and guidance can be provided.

Responsibilities

- Coach or assist with recreational and competitive-level acrobatics and tumbling classes
- Teach skills using safe and appropriate progressions based on each athlete's level

- Provide safe and appropriate spotting
- Help athletes develop strength, flexibility, coordination, body control, and confidence
- Monitor athlete progress and provide clear, constructive feedback
- Maintain a positive, organized, and safe training environment
- Communicate professionally with athletes, parents, and other coaches

Ideal candidates are:

- Comfortable working with children and teens
- Responsible, reliable, and punctual
- Positive, patient, and encouraging




- Able to communicate and demonstrate skills clearly
- Safety-conscious and willing to follow established coaching progressions
- Interested in developing their coaching knowledge and skills

Previous coaching experience is preferred for candidates interested in independently leading classes, but is not required for assistant-level candidates. First Aid/CPR certification is an asset. Successful candidates must be willing to complete any required screening or certifications applicable to the position.

Growth Chance

We are building our coaching team as Trick & Fly expands into our new Stittsville facility.
