Youth Soccer/Child Development Coach

Consistent Schedule Paid Training Growth Opportunities

Do you enjoy working with children? Love teaching, storytelling, and helping kids grow? Join the Lil’ Kickers & Skills Institute Soccer team and make a meaningful impact every week.

An LK Soccer Coach leads children ages 18 months to 10 years old through a 50-minute structured class focused on development, confidence, and fun. Coaches play a key role in creating a safe, positive, and consistent experience for children and families.

This role is ideal for committed high school students, college students, recent graduates, and adults looking for reliable part-time work in a supportive, team-driven environment. Soccer experience is helpful, but not required — full training is provided.

About Our Programs

• Lil’ Kickers (18 months–5 years): A nationally recognized child development program that uses soccer as a tool to build confidence, coordination, and social skills
• Skills Institute (5–10 years): A structured soccer training program focused on skill development and progression

Our culture is built around positivity, inclusion, and growth — for kids and coaches alike. Each year, our team inspires 15,000+ children across our communities.

What You’ll Do

• Lead fun, structured 50-minute soccer classes
• Set up and break down equipment before and after class
• Communicate with families before and after sessions
• Create a safe, engaging, and welcoming environment for kids

Schedule & Commitment

• Classes run on consistent weekly schedules
• Most coaches work 2–4 shifts per week
• Weekend availability is a plus
• Best fit for candidates who can commit for multiple sessions, not just a few weeks

Training & Growth

• Paid training (30–35 hours over approximately 6 weeks)
• Combination of online learning and on-field coaching practice
• Ongoing feedback and on-site support from experienced coaches
• Opportunities to grow into Mentor Coach and Site Lead roles

Pay & Perks

• Pay increases based on training completion, tenure, and leadership roles
• Individual quarterly retention bonus
• Quarterly leadership training
• Team outings, competitions, and contests
• Additional paid opportunities (birthday parties and special events)

Who Thrives in This Role

• Enjoys working with young children
• Reliable, punctual, and positive
• Communicates well with families
• Open to feedback and growth

Backgrounds that often do well include:

• College students (education, psychology, kinesiology, leadership, etc.)
• Former athletes or coaches
• Camp counselors, youth leaders, or teachers
• Adults seeking meaningful, consistent part-time work

No prior coaching experience is required.
