Make an Impact Through Play

High Velocity Sports is hiring Child Development Coaches for our Lil’ Kickers and Skills Institute programs at both our Taylor Sportsplex location, our Romulus Athletic Center location and our home base at High Velocity Sports location (Canton, MI)

This role goes beyond coaching — we are looking for team members who understand that confidence, listening skills, and child development come first… soccer is the vehicle.

If you love working with kids, bring great energy, and want to grow with a strong team, we want to meet you.

About Our Programs

Lil’ Kickers is a nationally recognized child development program that uses soccer to help children ages 18 months–7 years build confidence, coordination, listening skills, and teamwork in a fun, imaginative environment.

Skills Institute is the next step for players ages 5-12 ready for more technical development, focusing on individual foot skills, game awareness, and continued confidence building in a positive, high-energy setting.

Both programs focus first on developing the child - not just the athlete.

Who Thrives in This Role

You might be a great fit if you:

• Love working with children ages 18 months–12 years
• Bring BIG positive energy
• Are reliable and punctual
• Take feedback well and apply it quickly
• Communicate warmly with parents
• Enjoy being active and on your feet
• Want opportunities to grow

Soccer experience is helpful but NOT required for most classes- we train the right people.

What You’ll Do

• Lead fun, structured classes using our proven curriculum
• Build confidence and skills in young athletes
• Create a safe, engaging, high-energy environment
• Communicate positively with families
• Assist with field setup and breakdown
• Work closely with leadership and mentor coaches

The High Velocity Difference

Many youth coaching roles only pay for the minutes you are actively coaching.

We do things differently.

• Starting at $15/hour
• Paid for full scheduled shift - including setup and cleanup
• Consistent weekly schedule
• Paid training provided
• Supportive, team-first culture

We believe great coaches deserve to be paid for the time they are working.

Schedule Requirements

• Must be available evenings and weekends
• Taylor location: Must be available to work both Mondays and Saturdays.
• Must have reliable transportation
• Must be able to be active on the field for extended periods

What You DON’T Need

You do not need to be a high-level soccer player to succeed in this role.

We provide curriculum and training — what matters most is that you:

• Love working with children
• Bring positive energy
• Create a supportive learning environment
• Are coachable and reliable

If you enjoy helping kids build confidence through movement and play, you can thrive here.

Background Check Requirement

All candidates 18 years and older will be required to complete a background check prior to hire.

This is a W9 position.

Job Type: Part-time

Pay: From $15.00 per hour
