HappyFeet Instructor for Ages 2-5
HappyFeet is a physical activity program for children ages 2-6.
We focus on developing coordination, balance and confidence while playing games and activities using a soccer ball and our curriculum based methods. Please watch the video at www.HappyFeetSask.ca to learn more about HappyFeet and to see it in action!
HappyFeet coaches possess the following characteristics:
-Energetic (You're working with 2-6 year olds so your energy is contagious!)
-Confident (You're leading a group of 10-12 little ones so the ability to manage all these little people requires confidence and assertiveness. It's also important that you're comfortable interacting with parents)
-Reliable/Responsible, (The expectation is that coaches are able to attend all 6 of their sessions within a block of classes, substitute coaches are available but take away from the personal connection if the coach is constantly absent)
-Prior experience with young children (preferably in a similar environment. Ex. Swimming instructor, gymnastics, summer camps, etc. )
Individuals with Kinesiology, Education or early childhood education backgrounds will be given first preference. No soccer knowledge is required, although it's an asset.
This is a casual position working 2-6 hours/week during evenings and weekends at $15.00/hr. Classes are typically offered from 5:30pm-7:30pm during the week. We are looking for individuals to start training February/March and then coaching on their own by April/May.
If you are interested in this position, please attach a short half page summary describing your previous experiences working with this age group, as well as an explanation as to why you would be a great HappyFeet Coach.
Resumes can be sent to Alison at [Email hidden] and the application deadline will be March 25th 2022d
