About The Position

Youth Soccer Instructors Needed for Children Ages 2-8 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 30-35 minute Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-35 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. Soccer Shots is ramping up its operations in Chapin, SC, and we are looking to expand our team of instructors to accommodate our growth. We operate in daycares, preschools, community centers, etc... We have sessions running Monday through Friday, with some Public Programs 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. We are currently looking for coaches for the upcoming season. Once contracted, we pay $15/session with opportunity to increase. Actual classes will begin as quickly as you progress through the trial period (usually 1 to 2 weeks. Learn quickly = Progress quickly). The more availability you have and willingness to drive equals more sessions you can run and more money you can make. Your Availability - MANDATORY: Must have at least 2 Mornings (9am-12pm) or 2 Afternoons (1pm-4pm) available to coach.
