Join Our Team!

We are currently ONLY hiring Summer Camp 2024 at Eden Prairie (Champions Hall)! Blaine, Hopkins, Ramsey, and Centennial are fully staffed for the summer. Contact us at any time to apply.

AKASPORT is a progressive nonprofit organization whose mission is to help kids learn and grow through sport.

We are committed to keeping kids active by exposing them to a variety of different sports. For many reasons, we believe that multi-sport programs are far more beneficial to young bodies and minds than year-round single-sport training programs.  Keep it fun and stay active!

We are always looking for positive, energetic people to join our team! Applicants should have some experience with sports, fitness and/or working with children ages 5-12. Responsibilities include working on specific sport skills as well as organizing games and activities.
