Youth Golf Coach – La Jolla / Del Mar | $22–$28/hr

Love Golf? Help Us Introduce the Game to the Next Generation.

Kidokinetics San Diego is looking for an energetic, dependable, and experienced Youth Golf Coach to lead our Golf-only enrichment programs at schools in the La Jolla, Del Mar, and surrounding coastal San Diego areas.

Unlike our traditional multi-sport programs, these classes are focused specifically on GOLF.

You'll work with children to introduce the fundamentals of putting, chipping, full swing, golf etiquette, safety, and sportsmanship through fun, age-appropriate instruction.

We provide the curriculum, equipment, training, and support.

You bring the golf knowledge, energy, professionalism, and dependability.

Before You Apply: Please Read This

We want candidates to understand the realities of this position before applying. There are three things that are especially important to us:

1. Dependability Is HUGE

Our school partners aren't booking a random instructor each week—they're expecting their Kidokinetics Coach.

Once you accept a recurring Golf program, children, families, school staff, and our team are counting on you to show up every week, prepared and on time.

We work with your established availability when building your schedule. Once you commit to a program, however, we expect you to take ownership of that commitment for the duration of the assigned session.

If you're looking for occasional shifts that you can pick up or drop depending on your week, this probably isn't the right position.

If you're someone who takes pride in being dependable and following through on commitments, we'd love to meet you.

2. Driving Is Part of the Job

This is a mobile coaching position—not a single-location job.

Kidokinetics brings Golf directly to the schools we serve. Your programs may take place at different schools throughout the La Jolla, Del Mar, and surrounding areas, and your schedule may require travel between locations.

That means driving—and sometimes sitting in San Diego traffic—is part of the job.

We work hard to create practical schedules and keep assignments geographically reasonable whenever possible. However, applicants should be genuinely comfortable:

Driving regularly for workTraveling between assigned schoolsPlanning ahead for San Diego trafficAllowing enough travel time between programsArriving on time and ready to coachWorking at different locations rather than reporting to one facility every dayPlease consider the travel component carefully before applying.

3. Communication Matters

Things happen. Traffic happens. Schedules change.

We understand that.

What matters is communicating early and professionally when something comes up.

Our strongest coaches respond to leadership, keep us informed, ask questions when needed, and don't leave their teammates or school partners wondering what's going on.

Dependability and communication are two of the biggest things we look for when determining long-term opportunities and compensation growth within Kidokinetics.
