Are you the kind of person who lights up around kids? Do you love being goofy, playing games, and being called a "big kid" (in the best way possible)? Do you believe sports-especially soccer-can be a powerful tool for teaching life lessons? If you're nodding yes, we want you on our team!
About Soccer Shots - Columbia / Greater Columbia, SC:
Soccer Shots is the #1 children's fitness franchise in the country, and we've served the Columbia area for 15 years! We offer high-energy, fun, and engaging soccer classes to children ages 2-8, using the sport as a vehicle to positively impact children's lives. Our curriculum focuses on character development, not just soccer skills and goals! We operate year-round at preschools, daycares, community centers, and parks.
What We're Looking For:
We're searching for energetic, reliable, and fun-loving coaches who can connect with young children, follow our age-appropriate curriculum, and bring each 30-40 minute session to life. No need to be a soccer pro-just bring your passion, personality, and positive attitude!
