Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-8

Soccer Shots is one of the fastest growing kids soccer programs 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. 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? 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 30-45 minute Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-45 minutes of each child’s week. If this excites you, read on to see how to become part our team and impacting the next generation.

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 are currently hiring for our SPRING season. We will start TRAINING ($18/hr starting NOW. $20/hr once you are trained. You will train for a couple of weeks depending on your experience.) We are looking for consistent and reliable coaches!

SPRING SEASON: March 14th- May 23rd *must commit to coaching during these dates

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 directors, etc.

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

Enthusiastic: Must enjoy interacting with young children (2 – 8 years old), and be able to connect with them on their level, making the Soccer Shots class the best 30-45 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.
