Soccer Shots is the #1 Children's Soccer program in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible curriculum, leadership, and passion, we only hire the best instructors to work with our children. It's imperative that you not only enjoy working with children, but you also have outstanding soccer experience and are incredibly passionate about spreading the love of the sport. We want our Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-45 minutes of each child's week-as we strive to develop basic soccer skills, teamwork and healthy lifestyles in each of our children.

Soccer Shots Kalamazoo is in need of great part-time instructors. We operate in daycares, preschools, community centers, and parks all over Kalamazoo, Portage and Battle Creek. Classes are Monday through Saturday, 30-45 min for each session. We provide training, soccer equipment, and all curriculum materials. We offer rewarding work in a great environment with the opportunity to inspire the youth soccer players of the community. At some centers, there will be multiple classes, meaning you will be instructing 2-3 consecutive sessions.

The ideal instructor MUST meet the following criteria:

Safety-conscious, your #1 priority is the safety of children under your care.
Caring, you engage with each child through specific and positive affirmation.
Organized, you plan ahead and are systematic in routine, conducting each session according to the lesson plan and working with children to maintain appropriate order for the age group.
Responsible, you are committed to doing what is expected as the coach and "face" of Soccer Shots.
Energetic, you bring Soccer Shots to life by creating a fun and exciting atmosphere that leads a child to smile and participate.
In addition to the above, a successful candidate must pass a Child Abuse History Clearance and Background Check.

Training - We make sure our coaches are comfortable on the field by offering informative online & in-person training to equip coaches with our curriculum and helpful (developmentally appropriate) coaching techniques.

Ongoing feedback and growth opportunities - We’re a growing business and are always looking to find passionate and reliable team members to help us continue to grow.
Equipment - We provide everything you need for a Soccer Shots session in an on-the-go bag that fits in the trunk of a car. It’s why we can have Soccer Shots in convenient locations like school gyms, classrooms, outdoor spaces, local parks and community centers.
Opportunities to provide feedback - We value the feedback of our dedicated team and want to know how to make our program better for the families we serve, and our coaches.
