About The Position

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves developing people, building relationships, solving problems, and helping a team succeed. You’ll laugh. You’ll break a sweat. And you’ll go home knowing that you made a difference—not only in the lives of children, but in the coaches you lead. Soccer Shots San Diego is looking for a Director of Coaching who wants to take ownership of an incredible team of coaches. Yes, you’ll help us recruit, hire, train and schedule great coaches. But this position is about much more than filling shifts. We are looking for a leader. Someone who gets to know their coaches. Someone coaches trust and want to work for. Someone who develops people, recognizes problems early, steps in when the team needs help, and takes pride in making sure our coaching team delivers an exceptional experience to every child, family and partner we serve. If you enjoy building teams and want an opportunity to grow as a leader, we want to meet you. As our Director of Coaching, you will help lead the people responsible for delivering the Soccer Shots experience every day.
