Soccer Shots programs are offered during select weeks of the year, thus the employment is also seasonal. Employment as a coach in any particular season does not guarantee employment after that season ends. All employment is at‑will.
In addition to the above, a successful candidate must process and submit a Child Abuse History Clearance, PA Criminal Background check, and FBI Fingerprints. For candidates without these on file, Soccer Shots will help facilitate these clearances.
