Since 2004, Soccer Shots has been able to positively impact the lives of thousands of children in New Castle County. We attribute much of that success to our dedicated team of coaches. We are passionate about what we do and we are looking to add coaches to our team who are excited to positively impact children through the game of soccer.

We are currently looking to add some great coaches for our upcoming seasons in New Castle County, DE.

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 (varies depending on the age group). We provide all of the necessary training, equipment and curriculum materials. The compensation is $30 for each session you coach and some locations will run two to three sessions in a row.

What We Look For:
