Children's Activity Leader
Hoffman Estates, IL | Part-time | Flexible Schedule
Soccer Shots is looking for an energetic and engaging Children's Activity Leader to lead fun soccer-based classes for children ages 2-8.
This role is less about being a professional soccer coach and more about being great with kids. If you enjoy being expressive, playful, and making children laugh, this is a great opportunity. Many of our best coaches come from theater, performance, education, childcare, or recreation backgrounds.
We provide full training and curriculum, so no prior soccer coaching experience is required.
What We Offer
• Flexible scheduling - no minimum number of sessions required
• Competitive pay with base rate increases after your first season
• Fast-track promotion to Lead Coach within 90 days, including pay increase
• Seasonal performance bonuses
• Coach referral bonuses
• Customer referral bonuses
• Mileage reimbursement for travel between locations
• Paid training including CPR and First Aid certification
• Paid time off (vacation, sick days, and holidays for full-time team members)
Who You Are
• Love working with children ages 2-8
• Energetic, playful, and engaging
• Comfortable being animated, expressive, and a little silly during activities
• Patient and encouraging with young children
• Responsible and safety-focused
• Able to create a fun environment where kids feel confident and excited
• Someone who can become a trusted mentor and positive role model for children
What You'll Do
• Lead fun and safe soccer-based activity sessions for up to 12 children (30-45 minutes per session)
• Use energy, creativity, and enthusiasm to keep children engaged
• Follow our structured weekly curriculum focused on motor skills and character development
• Encourage and support each child during the session
• Arrive 15 minutes early to set up equipment and prepare the field
• Manage class rosters and program equipment
• Participate in team meetings and trainings
• Provide brief post-session feedback
