Virtual Basketball Drill & Fitness Instructor

Save to Favorites

We are looking for a team of committed virtual drill instructors to join our team and help us build the SoulGentz' basketball program - the "brother" organization to the SoulDeevas (www.souldeevas.com)!

Our new season begins on August 1st. If it is safe to return to normal practices by then, the teams will hold practice on Saturdays from 12:30pm to 3:30pm in New York City and from 4:30pm to 7:30pm in New Jersey. We are in the process of finding a safe space for them to use in both places.

We are recruiting for our boys' basketball teams which will have two divisions: Juniors (ages 8 to 12) and Seniors (ages 13 to 18). Out of concern that we may not be able to safely return to an in-person practice in August, we decided to find a volunteer fitness/drill coach and instructor who would be willing to work with our young men virtually and prepare them for eventual physical practices.

Virtual instructors would teach the boys stretches and exercises that they will be challenged to do every day as part of their conditioning routine. They would also teach standard basketball drills and skills that the boys would be able to practice independently.

We have found with our arts division, that having the instructors send us a video (duration of their choosing) of their workout or skills drill for us to post to the team's page for them to learn works best. At the time that they log on, the instructor would then be able to watch them do the routine (or drill) and offer critiques and additional challenges. You would then set a day/time (generally an hour slot) that works best for you and the boys would sign on at that time.

You can elect to stay with us once we return to physical practices - but please note that this is not a basketball coaching position. Once physical practices begin, you could continue to lead exercises, stretches and drills. Virtual instructors do not have to live in New York City or New Jersey. Our primary ask is that you be consistent. The boys will be faithful and diligent and will expect the same from you. Please do not apply if you cannot make the commitment to be faithful and diligent for them.

Interested candidates should respond letting us know about their basketball/fitness experience and any burning questions that they have. We will respond immediately. Thank you for your interest and please stay safe and sane.
