No soccer experience is required—we provide training and support. We’re looking for someone who brings positive energy, follows direction, works well as part of a team, and helps create a safe and encouraging experience for every child.
Once assigned to a season, coaches are expected to work their scheduled sessions each week throughout the season. This position may be available for one season or continue across multiple seasons based on performance, availability, program needs, and mutual interest.
What You’ll Do
As an Assistant Coach, you will work alongside a Lead Coach to deliver high-energy, age-appropriate soccer sessions. You will help children build confidence, develop foundational soccer skills, and have fun in a positive and supportive environment.
Responsibilities include:
- Assist the Lead Coach during soccer sessions for children ages 2–5
- Encourage and engage children using positive, developmentally appropriate coaching techniques
- Support class management, transitions, and activities
- Help maintain a safe, organized, and encouraging environment
- Set up and break down coaching equipment
- Follow the Soccer Shots curriculum and direction provided by the Lead Coach
- Communicate professionally with families, school staff, and team members
- Arrive on time and prepared for every scheduled session
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate is:
- Energetic, patient, and enthusiastic
- Comfortable working with young children
- Dependable and able to commit to the full assigned season
- Available to work both Saturdays and Sundays from approximately 8:30 AM–12:00 PM
- Able to follow direction and work collaboratively as part of a team
- Punctual, responsible, and professional
- Comfortable being active and working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Previous experience in coaching, teaching, childcare, camps, education, recreation, or other youth programs is a plus, but not required. Soccer experience is helpful but not required.

Assistant Coaches who demonstrate strong reliability, leadership, coaching ability, and a positive connection with children may have the opportunity to be considered for a Lead Coach position in a future season.
Why Join Soccer Shots?
We provide training, ongoing support, a fun and active work environment, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in children’s lives. Strong performers may have opportunities to continue coaching in future seasons and grow into Lead Coach roles.
