Through Soccer Shots, we've impacted thousands of children in and around our communities. We attribute much of our success to the dedicated, fun, and a little bit crazy team we've put together. We're passionate about what we do, and are looking to add people to our team who feel the same -- people who are fired up about the idea of impacting the next generation through the game of soccer.
Soccer Shots is an engaging children's soccer program with a focus on character developoment. Our caring team positively impacts children's lives on and off the field through best-in-class coaching, curriculum and communication. Our coaches are the best-trained in the business. Our expert-approved curriculum is age-appropriate and aligns with childhood education stardards. In addition we provide an exceptional customer experience and ongoing communication with parents.
We are a program that introduces soccer to children ages 2-8 at preschools and day care centers all over the area. We are currently expanding and need a few great instructors to help us run some sessions at a few of our centers.
