Day-to-day operating brief
What Parkour Coach (Urban) work looks like in practice
A Parkour Coach teaches running, vaulting, balancing, climbing and landing skills in dedicated facilities or approved outdoor spaces. Terms should define participant ages and levels, venue permission, obstacle inspection, height limits, mats, spotting, progression, weather, public interaction, filming, safeguarding, first aid and the exclusion of unauthorised rooftops, trespass or stunts beyond coach competence. Parkour develops movement through vaults, landings, climbing and balance, often using structures not designed as sports apparatus. The coach must assess surfaces, edges, drop zones, pedestrian interaction and permission to use the location, then build progressions that do not turn fear or peer pressure into a test. Terms should cover indoor and outdoor venues, spotting, height limits, safeguarding, footwear, filming and weather. They should also restrict roof access, trespass and uncontrolled public challenges while defining competence for flips or advanced movements separately.
