Youth Soccer Coach

Soccer Shots is launching in Southwest Las Vegas and we are looking to hire our first group of coaches. Our instructors are the face of our program, as they travel to our partnering locations and implement the curriculum provided to them. We are currently looking for coaches to join us for our first season. Schedule is flexible.
Who We Are

Soccer Shots is an engaging children's soccer program for children ages 2-8 with a focus on character development. Our caring team positively impacts children's lives on and off the field through best-in-class coaching, curriculum, and communication.
Who Are We Looking For

We are looking for people who love working with young children (ages 2-8). Coaches have to be enthusiastic, fun, outgoing, and willing to have a good time in each one of our 45-minute classes. Values we look for in a candidate are:

• Responsible: Arrives on time for each session, can handle a group of 10 or more children, keeps accurate attendance, communicates well with Soccer Shots director of coaching, children and parents, etc.
• Professional: Neat in appearance, friendly, and courteous with daycare center staff and director as well as parents, self-assured.
• Caring: Regularly encourages each child through specific, positive affirmation. Takes time to instruct the children if they are not getting it. Through your gestures, facial expressions, words, and actions demonstrate that you care about the well-being of every boy and girl.
• Energetic: Creates a fun and exciting atmosphere that causes children to smile and participate. Children feed off of your energy level.

*** Experience in coaching soccer sessions is not required. Sure, we prefer if you have some experience in soccer and are familiar with the game, but more importantly, we are looking for people who can handle a group of 12 three-year-olds and help them have a great time. We want our 45-minute Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 45 minutes of each childs week. If this excites you, we want to hear from you.

Schedule and Remuneration

We will have sessions running Monday through Friday (and probably on Sunday). Our sessions will run in schools, childcare centers, and public parks. There is flexibility in scheduling; meaning that we are able to accommodate classes into your possible schedule. If there are some mornings or afternoons when you arent available, we can work around that. However, once your schedule is set with us, it wont change. Youll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season (each season is approx. of 10 weeks). Priority will be given to candidates with the most time flexibility.
Each instructor starts out at $16/session (each session is 45 minutes). The more availability you have, the more sessions you can run, and the more money you can make.
