Question 1

Where are the classes for the After School Sports Programs conducted?

Accepted Answer

All After School Sports Program classes with KidzToPros take place right at the school campus as soon as school gets done for the day. Basketball & tennis on the blacktop areas; soccer, baseball, field hockey, martial arts (self defense), lacrosse on the field areas.

Question 2

What happens in case of inclement weather (rain)?

Accepted Answer

In case of inclement weather (rain/snow etc) KidzToPros will send you a notification 24 hours prior to the session start time that the class is being cancelled. A make up session will be scheduled at the next sessions (30 mins extra per session will be added to the future sessions to complete the cancelled class(es)). In case the class is not cancelled and there is inclement weather the coaches will conduct activities/drills/discuss sport tactics/rules/trivia with the kids in covered areas on the school campus. This will be considered as a rules/tactics learning session and there will be no make up class.

Question 3

What is the sign-in procedure before a class?

Accepted Answer

Coaches are required to arrive 15 minutes prior to the session start time. Go to the school office and sign-in as a visitor. Get a visitor badge from the school office before proceeding to the school grounds. Call or text Ms. Wan (KidzToPros Sports Director) that you have arrived and are all set to begin the coaching session.

Question 4

What are the mandatory fields that need to be completed on my profile prior to being considered as a coach for the After School Sports Programs?

Accepted Answer

All profile details with contact information, bio, headshot (sporting pic), schedule, and pricing for private sessions need to be completed. Bank account details need to be updated. You MUST provide a copy of your live scan and fingerprinting report to Ms. Wan for records. This is a requirement for KidzToPros After School Sports Program coaching. Only after these requirements are met, you will become an active coach on the system and will proceed to a training session with KidzToPros.

Question 6

Is there a dress code for the coaches?

You as coaches are role models to your students at the After School Sports Program and the brand ambassadors for KidzToPros. KidzToPros requests you to be presentable and professional in your coaching attire. There is no dress code or rule.

Question 7

What is the policy/procedure if I wish to cancel a session?

Accepted Answer

Cancelling a session without prior information puts the program in jeopardy. There is a zero tolerance policy towards this. If you know in advance that you will not be able to make certain session please inform Ms. Wan at least 2 weeks prior to the days you cannot attend. It would be great if you could suggest a replacement coach for your absence. The case of a no-show will result in termination of your contract for the After School Sports Program with KidzToPros (non-negotiable). In the case of a medical emergency, please inform Ms. Wan as soon as you can so we can find a replacement. Please provide proof of the incident (like a doctor's note) to KidzToPros.

Question 8

Do coaches have to take an attendance at each class?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Each class an attendance will be taken by you 10 minutes after the start of the session. This will give the kids sufficient time to show up for the session. Prior to going to the school please check the attendance roster on your smartphone if you have access to it. If you do not have access please inform KidzToPros ASAP. Taking attendance is mandatory. If for some reason you are not able to take the attendance on your phone, call KidzToPros immediately at 877-202-1554 and give us the attendance on the phone. We will notify the parents for that school.

Question 9

Until when are coaches supposed to wait for parents to pick up their kids?

Accepted Answer

No child must be left unattended after the session is complete. Please hand over the kids only to their parent /caretakers (someone that the kids recognize). In the case that a parent is late, please advise them that KidzToPros will be charging a late fee and that they should be picking up their child on time. Please contact KidzToPros and inform us of the child’s name that was picked up late.

Question 10

Where can I view the schedule for the upcoming sessions?

Accepted Answer

We are currently working on a system to provide you with the schedule on your profile page. Until then, please contact Ms Wan for a paper (pdf) copy of your schedule. You can also view your active rosters for your scheduled days on your profile page under ASP attendance.
