Are you someone who loves working with kids, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is ready to take on leadership responsibility within a growing business?

Soccer Shots Northwest Arkansas is looking for a dynamic team member to help lead and support our weekly programs—both on the field and behind the scenes. This role offers hands-on experience in coaching, operations, and program management, with the opportunity to grow into a larger leadership position over time.

About Soccer Shots:
Soccer Shots is an engaging children’s soccer program with a focus on character development. Our mission is simple: to positively impact children’s lives through the game of soccer.

We help kids ages 2 to 8 build confidence, teamwork, and life skills while having a blast. Our coaches are trained to deliver high-energy, age-appropriate sessions that make a lasting impact both on and off the field.

Job Overview:
The Program Manager is a key leader on our team responsible for helping deliver an exceptional experience for families, coaches, and school partners. This role blends hands-on coaching with behind-the-scenes coordination to ensure our programs run smoothly and continue to grow.

This position includes a mix of on-field coaching and program coordination responsibilities. Most weeks include 10–15 hours of coaching, with the remaining time focused on communication, scheduling, and program support.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys working with children, takes ownership of their work, and is interested in learning the operational side of a growing organization.

Help ensure coaches have the materials, information, and support they need for successful sessions

We’re looking for someone who is:

A natural leader who takes ownership and follows through
Energetic, positive, and confident working with young children
Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple moving pieces

Additional qualifications:

Experience working with children through coaching, sports, education, childcare, camps, or youth programs (1–2 years preferred but not required)
Enjoys sports, staying active, and helping kids learn and grow
Strong communication skills when working with families, school partners, and teammates
Comfortable using technology such as email, registration systems, and basic spreadsheets
Interest in learning the operational side of a growing organization
Passionate about early childhood development and making a difference
Willingness to work a flexible schedule that includes daytime coaching hours and occasional evenings and Saturday mornings

$17–$22/hour depending on experience
Coaching hours: $20/hour
Administrative hours: $17–$20/hour
Approximately 25–28 hours per week, with flexibility based on seasonality
Opportunities for additional hours during peak seasons
