Toddler / Youth Soccer Coach

Job Description

Job Description

At AGS we provide fun, engaging experiences, creating lasting memories for the youth and families in our community and we're looking for energetic, enthusiastic, and kid-friendly soccer coaches to join our team!

Our program starts with children aged as young as 18 months and gets them excited about "organized activities." At that age, it's way more about fun and fist pumps than it is about soccer. However, our children quickly progress into kicks, goals and even scrimmages. By the time they hit ages 5 or 6 we introduce them to scrimmages and then onto more competitive play thereafter. We continue to progress through to our oldest kids, who can be as old as 13, and are more focused on game-like situations and skill development.

We are currently hiring for Toddler coaches who have experience working with children ages 2-5 years, and Youth Coaches who have experience working with ages 6 -14 years. Preference for experienced soccer coaches who are able to work with both Toddler and Youth ages.

• Able to be playful, fun, and imaginative with children.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to effectively interact with children and deliver feedback to parents.
• High energy individual who is physically fit and able to coach soccer skills/games with young children for 2+ hours
• Available to work through Summer and Winter seasons.

Ideal Experience :

• Experience working with children ages 2 – 6 years.
• Preference for experienced soccer coaches who are able to work with both Toddler and Youth ages
• Experience with other types of young child sports organizations (SportBall, City Camps, Pedalheads, etc.) or soccer environments (Little Kickers, Timbits Soccer, House Leagues, etc.)
