Columbus Director

Do you wish to work in youth basketball? Are you tired of that 9-5 job that you don’t really care for? Are you looking to make a positive impact on the youth in your city by creating meaningful basketball experiences? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy building and scaling teams?

If you answered yes to these questions, this opportunity is for YOU!

City Director Job Description:

Pro Skills Basketball is looking for the “Navy Seals” of youth basketball.

Please excuse the military comparison, but we are looking for the best-of-the-best youth basketball leaders to become our next City Directors in new geographic markets. We are looking for men and women of high character and grit who see the problems in youth basketball and want to join an elite team focused on a singular mission: to change the culture of youth basketball.

And like the Seals, this job is not easy, glamorous, or often fun. In fact, it’s really hard and very few have the desire, passion, and fortitude to make it work, but for those that do, it is often the most rewarding and fulfilling job of their career.

Starting initially as a part-time paid position, we are looking for individuals who want to work in youth basketball full time, as the goal for each and every City Director is to grow his/her city to the point where it can be a full-time job.

Candidate Requirements:

Have a strong knowledge of basketball with a passion for teaching, coaching, and mentoring

Must be willing to commit time and effort outside of your full-time job to build PSB to one day being big enough to support a full-time City Director position

Work well with a team and are reliable, organized, and communicative. Can follow instructions to a T, are rarely late or absent, and communicate in a clear and timely manner with all stakeholders

Confidently and professionally manage and control all on-court and business operations of PSB in that city

Always ensure the physical and psychological safety of all participants

Understand that you are the face of Pro Skills Basketball in your city and display values that align with PSB

Genuinely care for children’s development

Provide and foster a positive and professional coaching environment for players, parents, and staff

Candidate Responsibilities:

Starting from scratch, build PSB in your city and work to grow the number of players/teams in your city year over year

Hire, manage and retain the highest quality of coaches

Organize, arrange and communicate practice and game schedules for all teams

Register teams for tournaments and leagues

Find gym space and manage all gym rental agreements for practices, clinics and workouts

Keep operating expenses in line with the city budget

Execute grassroots marketing strategies

Contribute to PSB social media accounts according to PSB guidelines

We repeat: This job is hard. PSB’s Support Staff help make it simple for our City

Directors, but that doesn't mean the work is easy. We cannot stress this enough - being a PSB City Director is often a grind requiring an extraordinary amount of hustle. It’s truly not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people.

However, maybe you are one of the few who is willing to join a high-performing team committed to changing the culture of youth basketball? Do you think you have what it takes?
