junior coach

summer program

Learn what it takes to be a UYP coach. Leadership, confidence, mentorship, and leaving a lasting impact on your community.

You want more for your child.

You want a program that gives your child purpose. A place where they’re trusted, mentored, and part of a team that’s actually doing something meaningful.

Leadership Development.

Get to the gym at the same time as the coaches, mentor younger students, learn to lead through example, learn to embody the P.A.R.K. values, learn the strategies we use to develop the kindest coaches in the world. Skills that will stick with your child for the rest of their life.

Is this a good fit for your child?

We are only accepting 4 students per week.. this is a very personal and demanding program. Make sure its a good fit.

  • Ages 11-13 years old

  • Jr. Coaches will be on the other side of summer camp. Helping and working with coaches.

  • They will have to attend the full week (Mon-Fri)

  • Offering an AM session 8:30am-12:30pm and PM 11:30am-3:30pm

  • Current or past students or summer campers would make a perfect fit

  • Whether your child needs leadership development or has natural leadership traits, this program can take them to the next level.

At UYP, we do things differently.

✅ Every Jr. coach is mentored and developed — you’re not thrown into chaos

✅ Your child will get training that’s focused on confidence, leadership, and safety

✅ They’ll be surrounded by a team that values kindness, clarity, and energy

✅ They’ll be trusted — and challenged — to grow fast
