About Crown

Crown Sports Center is a multi-sport recreation and entertainment facility in Fruitland, Maryland, delivering organized, high-quality sports experiences for youth and families across the Eastern Shore. We believe in structure, accountability, and professionalism - and above all, we believe youth sports should be fun. For a lot of kids, Crown is where they fall in love with the game.

The Role

You'll coach across our programs - from our youngest Cubs (ages 2-5) up through our 16U athletes - and we'll build your schedule around the sports and age groups you're strongest with. That flexibility is the whole point: it's how we turn part-time coaching into real, consistent hours across the week.

Why This Role Matters

For many families, a Crown coach is their child's very first experience with a sport. How you show up shapes whether a kid keeps playing, whether a parent trusts us, and whether a family stays with Crown for years. Great coaching changes kids' lives - and strong coaches here grow into bigger roles.

We hire coaches for who they are, not for how they played.

You do not need to have been a star athlete. You do not need to have played every sport on this list. What you need is energy, character, and a genuine love for helping kids grow. The rest - drills, rules, rotations, spacing - we will teach you.

Our best coaches are the ones who make a 5-year-old sprint into the building, who treat every parent with respect, and who bring the same positive energy to a rainy Tuesday practice as they do to a championship Saturday. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

What You'll Do

• Lead safe, organized, high-energy practices and games for kids ages 2-16
• Coach across one or more of our sports: soccer, basketball, lacrosse, T-ball, and football
• Meet kids where they are - whether that's a parachute game with toddlers or spacing drills with a 13U group
• Teach fundamentals in an age-appropriate, encouraging way
• Keep every session on time, structured, and professional
• Build positive relationships with kids and families
• Follow Crown's standards for safety, setup, and communication
• Represent Crown with professionalism on and off the floor

Who We're Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Bring high, positive energy into every room
• Genuinely love working with kids and want to see them win
• Are dependable, coachable, and take feedback well
• Communicate clearly and treat families with respect
• Are patient, organized, and solution-focused
• Believe early sports experiences shape confidence for life

Some of our best coaches come from a childcare, preschool, or teaching background and had never coached a sport before Crown. Others played for years. Both belong here - we'll build your role around what you do best.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience playing or coaching any of our sports
• Experience working with children - coaching, teaching, camps, or childcare
• CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

Requirements

• Reliable, on-time, and consistent
• Willing to work evenings and weekends, when most of our programs run
• Able to pass a background check
• Comfortable being active on the field/floor for extended periods
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs
