2nd Shift MODS

About Sofive
SoFive is the leading five‑a‑side soccer operator in the U.S., with 22 locations nationwide. Our Upland facility is now expanding into pickleball — one of the fastest‑growing sports in the country. We're looking for a passionate Pickleball Manager to launch and grow this new offering, while also playing a key role in the day‑to‑day operations of the facility.

The Role
This is a Hybrid Role Combining Two Complementary Responsibilities.

As Manager on Duty (MOD), you run the Upland facility during your shifts — ensuring smooth operations, great customer service, and a safe, well‑managed environment for all sports and members.

As Pickleball Manager, you are the face and driving force of our brand‑new pickleball program — leading on‑court delivery, animating the community, and growing the business.

The ideal candidate is a strong pickleball player and coach, with the energy and operational mindset to wear both hats seamlessly.
