  We want our Soccer Shots sessions to be the best 30‑45 minutes of each child's week as we strive to develop basic soccer skills, character skills, social growth, cognitive growth, physical development, teamwork and healthy lifestyles in each of our children.
• We operate in early learning centers, daycares, preschools, schools, community centers, and parks. Classes are Monday through Friday, 30‑45 min for each session. We provide training, equipment, and all curriculum materials. We offer rewarding work in a great environment with the opportunity to inspire children ages 2‑8 in the community. At some centers, there will be multiple classes, meaning you will be instructing 2‑3 consecutive sessions.

• Caring: you engage with each child through specific and positive affirmation.
• Organized: you plan ahead and are systematic in routine, conducting each session according to the lesson plan and working with children to maintain appropriate order for the age group.
• Responsible: you are committed to doing what is expected as the instructor and "face" of Soccer Shots.
• Energetic: you bring Soccer Shots to life by creating a fun and exciting atmosphere that leads a child to smile and participate.
• Prior experience working with children ages 2‑8 (former teacher, daycare worker, or tutor).
• A successful candidate must pass a Louisiana Department of Education and Louisiana State Police background check, successfully complete abuse training.

• Class sessions are typically between the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Most class sessions are 2‑3 classes scheduled consecutively.
• Can only work 2 or 3 days a week? That’s ok, you communicate your availability, and we tailor the schedule to fit.
• Schedules are consistent: you will work classes at the same time and location each week for a semester (16 weeks).
• Season schedules typically follow school district calendars.

• Lead groups of 8‑10 kids for a 25‑40‑minute class.
• Arrive to class on time and attend all scheduled classes.
• Utilize provided class curriculum, designed by education specialists.
• Keep accurate attendance and complete after‑session report.

Part‑time position candidates are what we seek; however, as Soccer Shots grows, we will be looking to transition our part‑time instructors to full‑time coaching coordinators and program directors.
