Job Description

Responsive Recruiter

Benefits: Flexible schedule, opportunity for advancement, signing bonus, training & development. Kickstart Your Career in Youth Sports Looking for a fun, flexible, high-energy job that builds your resume and makes a real impact? Soccer Shots is hiring part-time Youth Sports Coaches to lead engaging sports sessions for young children. This is a great opportunity for college students, student-athletes, future teachers and coaches, sports management and education majors, childcare workers, camp counselors, and anyone who loves working with kids! Soccer is the primary foundation of this role. Coaches should expect to lead soccer sessions as their core responsibility each week. As our program continues to grow, coaches may also have the opportunity to support introductory basketball and movement-based enrichment programs. This is more than a part-time job. It is a chance to gain real experience in coaching, leadership, communication, child development, group management, and youth sports programming!

Why This Role Stands Out

At Soccer Shots, you are not just teaching sports. You are helping children build confidence, develop character, and experience the joy of movement in a positive, encouraging environment. This role can help kickstart your career by giving you hands-on experience in:

• Coaching and youth sports instruction
• Early childhood development
• Leadership and communication
• Group management
• Education and enrichment programming
• Customer service and family communication
• Operations, program coordination, and team leadership

As we continue to expand into multi-sport programming, coaches will have the opportunity to grow beyond soccer and gain experience in basketball, movement-based enrichment, and character-building programs for kids.

What You'll Do

As a Youth Sports Coach, you will:

• Lead fun and engaging soccer sessions for children ages 18-months – 8 yrs.
• Use our structured curriculum to create a positive and age-appropriate experience
• Set up and break down fields, goals, and equipment
• Teach basic soccer skills through games, movement, and play
• Support introductory basketball sessions as our multi-sport programming grows
• Help lead movement-based enrichment and character development activities
• Model positive behavior, teamwork, confidence, respect, and responsibility
• Create a safe, welcoming, and high-energy environment for every child
• Communicate professionally with families, schools, and program partners as needed

What We're Looking For

No coaching experience is required. We provide paid training, curriculum support, and ongoing coaching development. We are looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about working with children
• Energetic, reliable, and positive
• Comfortable leading groups and speaking confidently
• Patient, adaptable, and safety-focused
• Excited to coach soccer and grow into multi-sport programming
• Able to stand, jog, demonstrate basic skills, and stay active during sessions
• Able to follow a curriculum while bringing personality and energy
• Able to travel reliably to program locations
• Able to obtain required state clearances, which we reimburse

Experience in soccer, basketball, coaching, childcare, education, camps, recreation, customer service, leadership, or youth development is helpful, but not required.
