About TMC KIDS

TMC KIDS is a recreational movement gym for children and teens aged 2–17. Our programs combine gymnastics, strength, locomotion, acrobatics and movement games in a fun, inclusive environment.

We’re a small, supportive team that cares deeply about creating positive movement experiences for kids. This isn't a competitive gymnastics environment. We focus on helping every child progress at their own level while building strength, confidence and a lifelong love of movement.

As part of the role, you'll also receive a complimentary TMC adult gym membership, giving you access to our adult classes to train and continue developing your own movement skills.

If you're an experienced coach who loves working with kids and you're ready to take the next step into a leadership role, we'd love to hear from you.
