Men’s Artistic Competitive Gymnastics Team Head Coach – Ballard
At Seattle Gymnastics Academy, we operate programs under three types of categories: Play, Learn and Compete. Our Compete program is intended for gymnasts who have already experienced and progressed in our Learn (recreational) program, and have shown interest and aptitude to advance to a competitive experience, and have a coach referral.
We currently have a rare, exciting opportunity in our USAG Men’s Artistic Competitive Program, for an experienced Coach to lead our Boys Team at SGA Ballard.
A well-established team, our current Head Coach will work closely with a successful candidate to train, and work in tandem to create a positive transition for the whole team, athletes and coach alike.
SGA is committed to an environment that is safe, leads with positive reinforcement, and teaches skills in progressive manner. A successful Head Coach will have an equal commitment to upholding these standards for our competitive team.
