Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-10

Majority of classes are 2-5 years old

We operate in daycares, preschools, elementary schools, community centers, and parks across Long Beach and Southeast LA. This position requires frequent travel and reliable transportation. Starting compensation is between $20-$22 per session based on experience and we offer growth potential within the company. There is some flexibility in scheduling; meaning that if there are some morning or afternoons where you aren’t available, we can work around that. However, once your schedule is set with us, it won’t change. You’ll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season. The ideal candidate at this time would be available weekdays 8am-6pm, as well as Saturday mornings. One could expect to have 7-10 sessions per week with this availability; perfect for someone who is looking for supplemental income or just part-time work. Weekday morning shifts are also available.
