    Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-7

    Soccer Shots is the #1 Children’s Fitness franchise in the country, the largest introduction to sport program in WNY, and we are now the official introduction to soccer program for ages 2-5 for U.S. Youth Soccer.

    Why have we achieved that level of success? Aside from the accredited curriculum, leadership, and passion, it’s because we only hire the best instructors to work with our children. Working with children is something we don’t take lightly, and it’s imperative that you not only enjoy working with children, but that you are incredibly passionate about it. Sure, we want you to have some soccer skills and to be familiar with the game, but more importantly, can you handle a group of twelve (12) three year old players? This is what truly separates Soccer Shots from everyone else - we are in this to impact children in such a way that we leave a lasting impression on them that will give them the confidence to be successful both on and off the field. We want our 30-60 minute Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-60 minutes of each child’s week. If this excites you, read on to see how to become part of our team and impacting the next generation.

    Due to our continued growth we are currently hiring a full-time coach. Come be a part of a staff that is passinonate about impacting children all over our city. We operate in daycares, preschools, elementary schools, parks, etc, across WNY. Our full-time coaches need to be able available to coach between 9am-6pm Monday-Friday and Saturday mornings. Starting salary is in the mid- 20's, with quick growth available for the right coaching candidate after their probabtionary period. We offer great flexibility in between seasons and also offer 10 paid holidays at the time of hire and 10 paid days off after the probationary period is over.

    We have sessions running every day of the week, but the full time coach does not work 7 days a week! There is some flexibility in scheduling; meaning that if there are some mornings or afternoons where you aren’t available, we can work around that. However, once your schedule is set with us, it won’t change for the season. You’ll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season.

    We're looking to hire immediately, in time to get you fully trained and confident in our curriculum and coaching process prior to the start of the next season.

    **Coaches MAY have to work one season as part time before being promoted to full time. Timing of application/hiring has a lot to do with that.

    The ideal instructor MUST meet the following criteria:

    Responsible: Arrives on time to each session, can handle a group of 10 or more children, keeps accurate attendance, communicates well with Soccer Shots director of coaching, etc.

    Professional: Neat in appearance, friendly and courteous with day care center staff and director as well as parents, self-assured.

    Enthusiastic: Must enjoy interacting with young children (2 – 7 years old), and be able to connect with them on their level, making their Soccer Shots class the best 30-60 minutes of their week. You must be very outgoing and animated; able to be silly with the children.

    Soccer: Soccer experience is preferred, however, if you are great with children and have some familiarity with the game, that would work.

    Working with children: Must be able to engage and interact with 2-8 year olds, and have experience doing so. This is very important.

    In addition to the above, a successful candidate must pass a Child Abuse History Clearance and Background Check.
