- Caring – they engage with each child through specific and positive affirmation.
- Organized – they plan ahead, follow lesson plans, and maintain appropriate order for the age group.
- Responsible – they are committed to fulfilling expectations as the coach and "face" of Soccer Shots.

Experience
Soccer experience is preferred but not required. Familiarity with the game as a player or coach is helpful. A background in elementary or early childhood education is a great fit. Coaching children may not be for everyone, so we encourage you to explore our website or YouTube videos to learn more about the role before applying.
