Elementary or Early Childhood Educators for Youth Soccer

Coaches Needed for Youth Soccer InstructionSince 2004, we have positively impacted thousands of children in New Castle County and we attribute that to the dedicated team of coaches. We are are looking to add coaches who are excited about positively impacting children through the game of soccer. We work with preschool and elementary age children.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE - Coaches can coach as little as one location per week, or up to every weekday and Saturday mornings. The schedule will remain the same for each season (fall, winter, spring, summer) and coaches can choose to coach additional or fewer locations each subsequent season.

Each session is 30 - 60 minutes long (varying based on age and location). We provide all of the necessary training, equipment and curriculum materials. The compensation is $25 for each session you coach.

What We Look For:Soccer Shots coaches are:

1. Safety-conscious - their #1 priority is the safety of children under their care.
2. Caring - they engage with each child through specific and positive affirmation.
3. Organized - they plan ahead and are systematic in routine. They conduct each session according to the lesson plan and work to maintain appropriate order for the age group.
4. Responsible - they are committed to doing what is expected of them as the coach and "face" of Soccer Shots.
5. Energetic - they bring Soccer Shots to life by creating a fun and exciting atmosphere that leads children to smile and participate.

Experience:
Soccer experience is preferred, but not required. Familiarity with the game either as a player or coach will be helpful. A background in elementary education or early childhood education makes a great fit.

Compensation: $25.00 per hour

Soccer Shots is an engaging children's soccer program for children ages 2 to 8. Our goal is to leave a positive and lasting impact on kids through introduction to sports and activity.

Our coaches are at the heart of what we do, our real MVPs if you will. They create smiles and deliver character-building FUN by teaching age-appropriate soccer skills to kids in the local community.
Soccer Shots coaches are equipped with

1. Training - We make sure our coaches are comfortable on the field by offering informative online & in-person training to equip coaches with our curriculum and helpful (developmentally appropriate) coaching techniques.
2. Curriculum - Our curriculum is FULL of the stuff kids and parents love! Our program is curriculum based, so coaches are provided with session guides and mobile friendly resources to help you deliver the Soccer Shots experience.
3. Ongoing feedback and growth opportunities - We're a growing business and are always looking to find passionate and reliable team members to help us continue to grow.
4. Equipment - We provide everything you need for a Soccer Shots session in an on-the-go bag that fits in the trunk of a car. It's why we can have Soccer Shots in convenient locations like school gyms, classrooms, outdoor spaces, local parks and community centers.
5. Opportunities to provide feedback - We value the feedback of our dedicated team and want to know how to make our program better for the families we serve, and our coaches.
