Junior Sports Coaches

GeckoSports offer kids a fun and interactive start to sport and fitness for life. We give children the inspiration and confidence to be physically active and try their hand at playing different sports through our scientifically designed Primary School and Junior High School aged programs.

With over 15 years of experience, we specialise in the following programs:

• School aged programs for kids from 5-14 years old
• After-school fun fitness & multi-sports classes
• Holiday programs
• Sports & Bootcamp programs
• Birthday parties
• Specialised school programs
• Sports club clinics
• Community events

The great thing about working at GeckoSports is that the programs we deliver vary across 18 different sports. These programs are delivered through 'in-school program, Before and After-school programs, specialised Sports Clinics, School holiday programs, Vacation care providers, Special events and Sports style Birthday Barties.

The coaching happens all across the Gold Coast, South Brisbane and Northern NSW and the hours on offer do vary. Our programs typically start from 8.30am in the morning and run until 5.30pm and may be at different venues. 

We operate 7 days a week with weekends typically busy with Birthday Party's, events and shopping Centre programs.  The total hours we offer fluctuate anywhere between 8-25 hours per weeek.

Unlike many coaching roles, we pay our coaches to arrive early and set up, plus a pack down time so this doesnt come out of your own time. Travel allowance is also provided for some shifts outside local based work.
