What are the responsibilities and job description for the Basketball Coach position at AU?
About Us
AU is the nation’s #1 platform for sports coaching. The company is owner-operated by former pro athletes who are passionate about helping other coaches grow their business. Think of us as the Airbnb or Rover of private sports coaching: we’ll help you find new athletes, grow your client base, and focus on what you do best – coaching.
Position Overview
We’re looking for motivated & experienced basketball coaches to join our network in the Wichita, KS area - including the city and all surrounding towns/counties. This is a 1099 independent contractor role where you decide your rates, availability, and training locations. We provide the tech, support, and marketing - you bring the coaching.
Who This Is For
This role is perfect for current or former college/pro athletes, current or past high school/club coaches, or experienced trainers looking to take control of their schedule and income while increasing their traffic. You must be passionate about helping young athletes improve, and ready to commit at least 8 hours a week. Please only apply if you’re serious about coaching – consistency matters to us, our athletes, and your success.
What You’ll Do
- Coach in your primary sport - from beginner to advanced levels
- Set your own rates (most sessions range from $30–$100/hour)
- Choose your availability and training location (parks, fields, courts, indoor, etc.)
- Use our platform tools for all communication, scheduling, and payments
- Build long-term relationships with athletes and families
- Commit to being active on the platform for at least 12 months (it can take a few weeks for new coaches to gain real traction - success doesn't happen overnight!)
What We Provide
- Built-In Marketing : We promote your profile to athletes who are actively searching for private coaching - so you can focus on training, not finding clients.
- Powerful Tech: Our platform simplifies scheduling, payments, and communication - everything you need to run and grow your coaching business in one place.
- Insurance Coverage: We carry professional and GL insurance covering our coaches for their services. You're only covered for lessons booked on our platform.

- Great Pay: Set your own rates - with typical ranges from $30-$150 per lesson - and keep 80% of every booking. No hidden fees and we put our 20% cut towards helping you grow!
- Dedicated Support: We back you with tools, resources, and client support - helping you turn each client into long-term coaching relationships. The AU average is 10 lessons per client!
