Super Star Sports | How to Work Full Time in Sports

For so many people, the idea of working full time in sports feels like a dream – something you’d love to do but maybe think is only possible if you’re a professional athlete or coach at a big club. The truth? There are loads of opportunities out there to make sport your career, and at Super Star Sport, we see it happen every day.

We now have 28 branches across the United Kingdom, with people just like you building full-time careers doing what they love – inspiring children to be active, healthy and smiling.

Why Working in Sports is a Realistic Option

When most people think “career in sport”, they picture elite footballers, Olympic athletes or managers in the Premier League. But the sports industry is so much bigger than that. Every day, schools, nurseries, and parents are crying out for quality sports coaching, PE provision and holiday camps, and that’s where our team steps in.

Our coaches aren’t just delivering sessions; they’re part of something bigger. They’re creating lasting memories for children, developing life skills, and making physical activity something to look forward to. And with the right approach, this can absolutely be your full-time job.

The Super Star Sport Model

We’ve built a model that works for people who love sport and want to make it their career:

  • Schools & Nurseries – PE lessons, PPA cover and after-school clubs all year round.
  • Holiday Camps – Action-packed days during half-terms and school holidays.
  • Parent-Paid Classes – Weekend and evening sessions for families looking for more activity.
  • Community Projects – Programmes designed to make sport accessible to everyone.

Put all of this together and suddenly, you’re not piecing together part-time hours – you’ve got a proper full-time career in sport.

How Do You Get Started?

  1. Get Experience – Whether you’re coaching a grassroots team or volunteering at a camp, time on the pitch matters.
  2. Get Qualified – Entry-level coaching badges, safeguarding and first aid are must-haves.
  3. Find the Right Fit – Look for organisations (like us!) who value fun, enthusiasm, positivity and safety, the things that make sport unforgettable for kids.
  4. Think Long-Term – The pathway doesn’t stop at coaching. Many of our team members have gone on to run their own branches, manage camps or even lead operations at head office.

Why It’s Worth It

Ask anyone in our network and they’ll tell you, no two days are the same. One day you’re leading a PE lesson in a primary school, the next you’re running a holiday camp with 60 kids playing football, dodgeball and capture the flag. The energy is unreal, the job satisfaction is massive, and you’ll genuinely finish the day knowing you’ve made a difference.

And yes, it’s 100% realistic to make this your full-time job. We’ve got 28 branches proving it, with hundreds of coaches building proper careers in sport, and loving every minute.
