Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-8: West Lafayette/Lafayette. Full-time and Part-time positions available.
Who We Are:Soccer Shots is an engaging intro-to-soccer program fueled by coaches who are driven to impact children's lives in a positive way. Our program focuses on age-appropriate soccer skills, character development, and fun in every session.
Soccer Shots is the #1 Children's Fitness franchise in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible curriculum, leadership, and passion, it's because we only hire the best instructors to work with our children. Working with children is something we don't take lightly, and it's imperative that you not only enjoy working with children, but that you are incredibly passionate about it. Sure, we want you to have some soccer skills and to be familiar with the game, but more importantly, can you handle a group of 12 three year olds? This is what truly separates Soccer Shots from everyone else - we are in this to impact children in such a way that we leave a lasting impression on them that will give them the confidence to be successful both on and off the field. We want our 30-minute Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30 minutes of each child's week. If this excites you, read on to see how to become part of the #1 Children's Fitness franchise in the country by joining our team and impacting the next generation.
Due to our continued growth we are currently hiring for part-time coaches that have afternoon and evening availability. Come be a part of a staff that is passionate about impacting children all over our city. We operate in daycares, preschools, community centers, etc. Our part-time coaches need to be available three full days a week, Monday-Friday, or all afternoons/evenings or mornings Monday-Friday. Morning classes run from approximately 8am-12pm. Starting pay is $17 per session (approx. $34/hr) for lead coaches, with room for growth at the hourly rate or into a salaried position with increased pay. For assistant coaches, starting pay is $12 per session ($24/hr). At most locations, there will be multiple classes, meaning you will be instructing 2-4 consecutive sessions.
We have sessions running Monday through Friday, with some Park Programs launching in the evenings. There is some flexibility in scheduling; meaning that if there are some morning or afternoons where you aren't available, we can work around that. However, once your schedule is set with us, it won't change. You'll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season.
Candidates must be able to commit to at least the next 3-4 seasons (9-12 months), and ideal candidates are looking for long term employment (12 months) and growth opportunities.
The ideal instructor MUST meet the following criteria:
  • Responsible - Arrives on time to each session, can handle a group of 10 or more children, keeps accurate attendance, communicates well with Soccer Shots director of coaching, etc.
  • Professional - Friendly and courteous with day care center staff and director as well as parents, self-assured.
  • Enthusiastic - Must enjoy interacting with young children (2 - 8 years old), and be able to connect with them on their level, making the Soccer Shots class the best 30 minutes of their week. You must be very outgoing and animated; able to be silly with the children.
  • Soccer - Soccer experience is helpful, however, if you are great with children and have some familiarity with the game, that works.
  • Working with children - Must be able to engage and interact with 2-8 year olds, and have experience doing so. This is very important.
  • Transportation - Must have your own, reliable transportation.
  • Equipment - Must own and have daily access to a computer, printer, and internet.

What We Offer:
  • Training - We offer a paid comprehensive training program to learn Soccer Shots' curriculum, developmentally appropriate coaching techniques, and best practices.
  • Flexibility - We only schedule you when you're available, at sessions closest to you, with opportunities to change availability from season to season (winter/spring/summer/fall).
  • Career Progression - We love to promote from within. Opportunities to take on full-time roles or internships in program coordination, coach management, marketing, partnerships, and more.
  • Fun - Get ready to be active, laugh, cheer, and maybe even do a victory dance or two. Our coaches aren't just about teaching soccer; they're the smiling faces of our brand, delivering the unique Soccer Shots experience.
  • YOUR IMPACT - It goes way beyond the field. Our inbox is filled with comments from families raving about our coaches who sparked passion for the game and helped build confidence in kids.

The Job:
  • Bring "Soccer Island" alive with your enthusiasm and creativity.
  • Conduct soccer sessions for children 2 to 8 years old, including field set-up and take-down.
  • Encourage character development through positive reinforcement and modeling.
  • Utilize expert-created Soccer Shots' curriculum and early childhood development teaching techniques in every session.
  • Foster a safe and inclusive environment for all participants.
  • Follow all on-site safety and attendance protocols.
  • Communicate effectively with families, caregivers, and teachers.

Qualifications:
  • No prior sports/coaching experience required.
  • Genuine passion for children and sports.
  • Energetic, engaging, and responsible.
  • Safety conscious.
  • Ability to adapt to the needs of kids ages 2-8.
  • Access to reliable transportation.
  • Ability to stand, jog, and model children's soccer skills.
