United Sports is looking for gymnastics instructors to coach our daytime, weekend, and evening classes. Coaches do not need to be able to work all of these hours to apply! Employee Expectations: The qualified individual will be energetic, loud, creative, and patient. Experience working with children under the age of 4 years old is highly regarded. Compensation: $10.00 - $12.00 per hour United Sports is a 127,000 square-foot indoor, 72-acre outdoor sports complex located directly off the Route 30 Bypass in the heart of Chester County, PA. This privately-funded, over $15 million project transformed a historic, but long-neglected, airport into a major center for recreation and field access. United Sports is located in Downingtown PA, a suburb just southwest of Philadelphia. In a time of rapid urban development, rather than building homes or additional corporate buildings, United Sports designed a complex that encompasses 11 outdoor, playing fields and 3 acres under roof with multiple playing surfaces for varying sport use. United Sports provides an opportunity for your child to participate in sports in a safe environment. Without these additional fields and programs, registrations for youth leagues would be limited due to a lack of field space. On a regular basis, United Sports attracts participants and spectators from a 60-mile to 60-minute radius. Centrally located, United Sports is convenient to people from nearby, neighboring states (Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey). A premier facility, United Sports has become the central hub for regional tournaments, team training, and excellent programming. United Sports has programs for all ages (youth-adult) and all skill levels. We offer comprehensive Clinics, Summer & Winter Camps, Tournaments, Leagues and Instructional Academies.
