At SGA, the Play category focuses on creative and engaging gymnastics-based activities designed to deliver memorable experiences for kids and their families. This includes hosting unique events such as Birthday Parties, Parents' Night Out, and Camps. The Special Events Coordinators within the Play department play a critical role in bringing these events to life by offering exceptional service and creating a welcoming, fun atmosphere for all participants.

The Lead Events Coach / Coordinator position at Seattle Gymnastics Academy is an exciting leadership opportunity within the Special Events division. This role is pivotal in ensuring the smooth execution of Play programming by guiding and mentoring a small team of junior Special Events Coaches. The Lead Events Coach is responsible for leading by example, setting clear expectations, and providing ongoing support to ensure that every event aligns with SGA's mission, core values, policies, and procedures.

Candidates who join SGA in this role will enjoy working in a stimulating, supportive environment that encourages personal and professional growth. The position requires dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive experience for all children involved in SGA’s programs.

This is a role best suited for individuals who possess a genuine passion for working with children and who can serve as a positive role model. The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, be adept at managing both people and logistics, and demonstrate a proactive and enthusiastic approach to event coordination.
