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)
Who Thrives in This Role
  • Enjoys working with young children
  • Reliable, punctual, and positive
  • Communicates well with families
  • Open to feedback and growth

Backgrounds that often do well include:

  • College students (education, psychology, kinesiology, leadership, etc.)
  • Former athletes or coaches
  • Camp counselors, youth leaders, or teachers
  • Adults seeking meaningful, consistent part-time work

No prior coaching experience is required.

Join Our Team

If you're looking for a part-time role where consistency, growth, and impact matter , we'd love to hear from you.
