• Customer referral bonuses
• Mileage reimbursement for travel between locations
• Paid training including CPR and First Aid certification
• Paid time off (vacation, sick days, and holidays for full‑time team members)

Who You Are

• Love working with children ages 2–8
• Energetic, playful, and engaging
• Comfortable being animated, expressive, and a little silly during activities
• Patient and encouraging with young children
• Responsible and safety‑focused
• Able to create a fun environment where kids feel confident and excited
• Someone who can become a trusted mentor and positive role model for children

What You’ll Do

• Lead fun and safe soccer‑based activity sessions for up to 12 children (30–45 minutes per session)
• Use energy, creativity, and enthusiasm to keep children engaged
• Follow our structured weekly curriculum focused on motor skills and character development
• Encourage and support each child during the session
