About The Position

Soccer Shots is a high-energy, character-focused youth soccer program designed for children ages 2–8. Our goal is simple: to positively impact children through soccer while creating a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every child and family. Soccer Shots Northshore serves children throughout the Northshore area through programs at parks, schools, and other community locations. We are looking for an organized, energetic, and people-focused Northshore Program Coordinator to help grow and manage our Northshore programs while delivering an exceptional experience for our families, coaches, and community partners.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants a career that combines operations, relationship-building, youth sports, customer service, and hands-on coaching. The ideal candidate is someone who can stay organized behind the scenes but isn't afraid to get out into the community, build relationships, solve problems, and get on the field with kids.
