What are the responsibilities and job description for the Youth Sports Director position at Skyhawks Sports Academy?
Youth Sports Director – Macomb, MI
Lead from the Field. Inspire Confidence. Create Impact.
If you’re the kind of person who thrives on energy, connection, and making a difference, then this is your opportunity to take the next step in your coaching journey.
At Skyhawks Sports, we believe sports are more than just games — they’re lessons in teamwork, confidence, and character. For over 45 years, we’ve been inspiring kids through fun, skill-based sports programs that bring out their best on and off the field.
Now, we’re looking for motivated, outgoing Directors who love being in the action - coaching, supporting other coaches, and ensuring every child leaves with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.
This part-time position offers flexibility, leadership experience, and a chance to make a direct impact in your community.
What You’ll Do
You’ll set the tone - not from an office, but from the field. As a Director, you’ll coach, coordinate, and keep the team running smoothly while creating memorable experiences for kids and families.
- Coach groups of young athletes through engaging, skill-based lessons using Skyhawks’ proven curriculum
- Support and mentor fellow coaches, offering guidance, feedback, and encouragement
- Oversee daily program flow, ensuring everything runs safely, smoothly, and on schedule
- Connect with parents and families, answering questions and building positive relationships
- Step into different roles as needed, leading stations, filling in for coaches, or roaming between groups to keep quality high
- Bring energy and focus to every session, making sure every participant feels included, challenged, and celebrated
Who You Are
We’re looking for confident, people-driven leaders who love to coach and motivate others by example.
You’re someone who:
- Naturally takes charge and keeps things organized — even in a fast-paced environment
- Connects easily with kids, parents, and teammates
- Brings energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to every situation
- Is comfortable guiding others but still loves being hands-on
- Is dependable, proactive, and adaptable
- Has some experience coaching, teaching, or leading youth programs (preferred but not required)
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You…
- Love leading from the front — staying involved and engaged with kids and staff
- Enjoy helping others grow while continuing to build your own coaching experience
- Take pride in running smooth, fun, and high-quality programs
- Want flexible, meaningful work that lets you make a difference
- Have the confidence to make decisions and the people skills to keep everyone on board
