Youth Soccer/Child Development Coach
Consistent Schedule • Paid Training • Growth Opportunities
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.
About Our Programs
Lil’ Kickers (18 months–5 years): A nationally recognized child development program that uses soccer as a tool to build confidence, coordination, and social skills
Skills Institute (5–10 years): A structured soccer training program focused on skill development and progression
Our culture is built around positivity, inclusion, and growth — for kids and coaches alike. Each year, our team inspires 15,000+ children across our communities.
What You’ll Do
Lead fun, structured 50-minute soccer classes
Set up and break down equipment before and after class
Communicate with families before and after sessions
Create a safe, engaging, and welcoming environment for kids
Schedule & Commitment
Classes run on consistent weekly schedules
Most coaches work 2–4 shifts per week
Weekend availability is a plus
Best fit for candidates who can commit for multiple sessions, not just a few weeks
Training & Growth
Paid training (30–35 hours over approximately 6 weeks)
Combination of online learning and on-field coaching practice
Ongoing feedback and on-site support from experienced coaches
Opportunities to grow into Mentor Coach and Site Lead roles
Pay & Perks
Pay increases based on training completion, tenure, and leadership roles
Individual quarterly retention bonus
Quarterly leadership training
Team outings, competitions, and contests
Additional paid opportunities (birthday parties and special events)
