• Mentor & Support: Assist in training, mentoring, and supporting part-time coaches to ensure consistency and quality across all programs.
• Coordinate & Communicate: Support scheduling, coach assignments, and substitutions while maintaining clear communication with site directors and parents.
• Observe & Evaluate: Visit partner schools and community locations weekly to observe classes and provide performance feedback.
• Promote & Grow: Represent Soccer Stars and Little Rookies at demos, community events, and local partnerships.
• Lead by Example: Model professionalism, punctuality, and enthusiasm in every session.

• Experience: 1–2 years working with children in coaching, early childhood education, or youth recreation.
• Leadership: A self-starter who can take initiative, guide others, and maintain a positive team culture.
• Energy: Fun, reliable, and enthusiastic about helping kids learn and grow.
• Organization: Strong communication and planning skills; able to manage schedules and adapt quickly.
• Location: Based in Greater Austin with reliable transportation (travel between schools in Cedar Park, Leander, Pflugerville, Round Rock, North and South Austin and Lakeway).
• Tech Skills: Comfortable with Google Workspace (Calendar, Drive, Sheets), email communication, and mobile scheduling apps.
• Certifications: CPR/First Aid preferred (we’ll provide if needed). Must pass a background check for childcare programs. Spanish-English bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply (not required). These skills help us better support our Spanish-immersion preschool partners.

Benefits

• Weekly Salary: $625/week (approx. $2,500/month)
• Bonus Opportunities: Quarterly incentive bonuses based on attendance and engagement.
• Paid Training & Certifications: We’ll invest in your professional development.
