What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sports Program Director - Campo Family YMCA position at TAMPA METROPOLITAN AREA YMCA INC?
We’re Looking for Our Next Sports Director!
Do you believe sports can do more than create athletes?
At the Y, sports build confidence, friendships, teamwork, leadership, and belonging. At the Campo Family YMCA, we’re looking for a leader who is ready to take that impact to the next level.
We’re searching for our next Sports Director, someone who loves sports, loves people, and gets excited about building programs that bring a community together.
This isn’t a position where you simply maintain leagues and schedules. We’re looking for someone ready to build, grow, innovate, and lead.
What You’ll Lead
As Sports Director, you’ll oversee a diverse sports operation serving youth, adults, and families. From youth basketball and volleyball to adult leagues, pickleball, clinics, camps, and open play, you’ll create experiences that keep people active, connected, and coming back to the Y.
You’ll also have the opportunity to think creatively about how we use our spaces, identify new programming opportunities, and expand offerings to reach even more people in our community. We’re Looking for a Builder.
Our next Sports Director will be someone who can:
- Grow & Innovate — Develop new leagues, clinics, events, and opportunities while strengthening the programs we already offer.
- Lead People — Recruit, train, coach, and inspire staff, officials, and volunteer coaches to deliver an outstanding experience.
- Create Community — Build a welcoming sports culture where children, adults, and families feel connected, supported, and excited to participate.
- Drive Results — Use enrollment, revenue, budgets, NPS, and participant feedback to set goals and continuously improve our programs.
What Success Looks Like
We have big expectations because we believe there is a big opportunity.
Our next Sports Director will help grow participation across youth and adult sports while delivering an exceptional participant experience. Current program goals include 240 youth basketball players per season, 220 youth volleyball participants, 120 adult basketball players, 55 adult volleyball players, and 35 pickleball participants per season, along with an NPS goal of 80 or higher.
But success isn’t only measured by numbers.
It’s kids discovering a sport they love. Parents finding a community. Adults reconnecting through competition. Coaches becoming mentors. Staff growing into leaders.
That’s the impact we’re looking for.
Who Are We Looking For?
Someone who is energetic, organized, creative, relationship-driven, goal-oriented, and passionate about sports and community. Someone comfortable leading people, managing multiple programs, analyzing performance, and turning ideas into great experiences.
The position calls for relevant education and at least two years of experience in sports, camp, or similar youth programming with supervisory experience.
Why Tampa?
Not already in the Tampa Bay area? This could be the opportunity that brings you here.
Tampa Bay offers a great combination of year-round outdoor living, professional and collegiate sports, beaches, entertainment, and a growing community. For a sports and recreation professional, it’s an exciting place to build both a career and a life.
Joining the Campo Family YMCA means becoming part of the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA and having the opportunity to make an impact in a community where sports, families, and connection are at the heart of what we do.
Great opportunity. Great community. Great place to call home.
Most importantly, we want someone who doesn’t just want to run sports programs.
We want someone who wants to build a sports culture.
If you’re ready to bring your energy, ideas, and leadership to a place where your work makes an impact every day, we want to meet you.
Come build something special at the Campo Family YMCA.
