Job description

After-School Soccer Coaches Needed for Children Ages 3 – 10

Coaches are needed for weekday afternoons between 2:30pm – 4:30pm. Other times might be available, but availability on weekdays between 2:30pm – 4:30pm is best.

Since 2004, we have positively impacted thousands of children in New Castle County and we attribute much of that to the dedicated team we have put together. We are passionate about what we do and we are looking to add coaches to our team who are excited about positively impacting children through the game of soccer.

Soccer Shots is a program that introduces soccer to children at preschools, child care centers, elementary schools and local parks. We are expanding and need enthusiastic coaches to help us run sessions in New Castle County. Some specific areas we need coaches include, but are not limited to: Newark, Hockessin, Bear, Wilmington, New Castle and Middletown.

Each session is 30 - 60 minutes long (varying based on age and location). We provide all of the necessary training, equipment and curriculum materials. The compensation is $30 for each session you coach and some sites have multiple sessions that run back to back which would double the compensation.

What We Look For: Soccer Shots coaches are:

• Safety-conscious - their #1 priority is the safety of children under their care.
• Caring - they engage with each child through specific and positive affirmation.
• Organized - they plan ahead and are systematic in routine. They conduct each session according to the lesson plan and work to maintain appropriate order for the age group.
• Responsible - they are committed to doing what is expected of them as the coach and "face" of Soccer Shots.
• Energetic - they bring Soccer Shots to life by creating a fun and exciting atmosphere that leads children to smile and participate.

Experience:

Soccer experience is preferred, but not required. Familiarity with the game either as a player or coach will be helpful. A background in elementary education or early childhood education makes a great fit.

Coaching children is not for everyone, so before you apply, please take a look at our website (Soccer Shots New Castle County, DE) or watch our videos on YouTube to learn more why we have the greatest job going.
