Soccer Shots is looking for an energetic and engaging Children’s Activity Leader to lead fun soccer-based classes for children ages 2–8.

We provide full training and curriculum, so no prior soccer coaching experience is required.

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay with base rate increases after your first season
• Fast-track promotion to Lead Coach within 90 days, including pay increase
• Seasonal performance bonuses
• Coach referral bonuses
• 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
• Arrive 15 minutes early to set up equipment and prepare the field
• Manage class rosters and program equipment
• Participate in team meetings and trainings
• Provide brief post-session feedback
