About Us:

We proudly operate three of the nation’s leading youth enrichment programs — Soccer Stars, Amazing Athletes, and Karate Zoo — each designed to help children build confidence, move their bodies, express themselves, and develop a lifelong love of active play.

  • Soccer Stars offers high-energy, play-based soccer classes for children ages 1 to 10, using fun, imagination, and movement to teach soccer fundamentals, teamwork, and confidence in a non-competitive environment.
  • Amazing Athletes is the country’s most popular multi-sport program for children ages 18 months to 6 years, introducing 10 different sports while also nurturing motor skills, healthy habits, and social-emotional growth.
  • Karate Zoo brings martial arts to life for young learners by combining animal-themed movements, beginner karate techniques, and life skills like focus and respect — all in a playful and engaging format.

Our programs run year-round in preschools, parks, and community spaces — including adaptive sessions for children with varying needs. We believe every child is an athlete, and every class is an opportunity to inspire active, imaginative futures through sport, creativity, and joyful play.

If you're animated, energetic, love to perform and play, and are passionate about helping young children grow — you'll be a perfect fit for this unique and fulfilling Imagination & Sports Play Coach role. This is a role perfect for actors, early educators, or movement leaders!
