Kickstart Your Career in Youth Sports

Looking for a fun, flexible, high-energy job that builds your resume and makes a real impact?

Soccer Shots is hiring part-time Youth Sports Coaches to lead engaging sports sessions for young children. This is a great opportunity for college students, student-athletes, future teachers and coaches, sports management and education majors, childcare workers, camp counselors, and anyone who loves working with kids!

Soccer is the primary foundation of this role. Coaches should expect to lead soccer sessions as their core responsibility each week. As our program continues to grow, coaches may also have the opportunity to support introductory basketball and movement-based enrichment programs.

This is more than a part-time job. It is a chance to gain real experience in coaching, leadership, communication, child development, group management, and youth sports programming!

Why This Role Stands Out

At Soccer Shots, you are not just teaching sports. You are helping children build confidence, develop character, and experience the joy of movement in a positive, encouraging environment.

This role can help kickstart your career by giving you hands-on experience in:

Coaching and youth sports instruction
Early childhood development
Leadership and communication
Group management
Education and enrichment programming
Customer service and family communication
Operations, program coordination, and team leadership

As we continue to expand into multi-sport programming, coaches will have the opportunity to grow beyond soccer and gain experience in basketball, movement-based enrichment, and character-building programs for kids.
