    Youth Soccer Instructors/Early Childhood Educators Needed for Children Ages 2-8

    Soccer Shots (the official two to five-year-old program of US Youth Soccer) is looking to expand our team of dynamic instructors to accommodate our growth in the WNY are, including: Hamburg, Orchard Park, Buffalo, Williamsville, Amherst, Clarence, Lockport, North Tonawanda, Grand Island and Niagara Falls.

    We are the #1 Children's Fitness franchise in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible curriculum, leadership, and passion, it's because we only hire the best instructors to work with our children. We want our Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-60 minutes of each child's week.

    We offer sessions 7 days a week throughout the WNY area. Sessions run seasonally (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) and take place at childcare centers, recreation centers, parks and elementary schools (aftercare enrichment programs). Session start times vary depending upon location and season but typically fall within the following timeframes and repeat each week: morning (8:30 am - 12 pm) or afternoon (2:30 pm - 6:00 pm). We are looking for candidates who are able to commit to two complete seasons, minimally.

    We place an emphasis on character development and skill building and provide our instructors with developmentally appropriate curriculum that aligns with early childhood standards.

    Professional: Neat in appearance, friendly and courteous in all communication with childcare staff, parents and administrators.

    Team Player: Collaborative, dependable, excellent communicator and commitment to elevating those around you.

    Soccer Enthusiast: Soccer experience is preferred, however, if you are great working with children, have some familiarity playing the game, and love the game - this can work.
