Do you enjoy working with children? Love teaching, storytelling, and helping kids grow? Join the Lil’ Kickers & Skills Institute Soccer team and make a meaningful impact every week.
An LK Soccer Coach leads children ages 18 months to 10 years old through a 50-minute structured class focused on development, confidence, and fun. Coaches play a key role in creating a safe, positive, and consistent experience for children and families.
This role is ideal for committed high school students, college students, recent graduates, and adults looking for reliable part-time work in a supportive, team-driven environment. Soccer experience is helpful, but not required — full training is provided.
