Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-10

Soccer Shots is the #1 Children’s Fitness franchise in the country. When we started we only dreamed what we might be able to do in the lives of children... since then, our dream has turned into an even greater reality. Why? Aside from the incredible 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 12 three year olds AND love it? 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. If this excites you, read on to see how to become part of the #1 Children’s Fitness franchise in the country by joining our team and impacting the next generation.

We operate in daycares, preschools, elementary schools, community centers, etc. 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-4pm, 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.
