At America's Got Soccer we provide fun, engaging experiences, creating lasting memories for the youth and families in our communities. We're looking for an energetic and enthusiastic Director of Soccer to to take a lead role in coaching, session oversight, coach training, and program development. The ideal candidate is an experienced coach who is equally comfortable running engaging youth sessions, mentoring new coaches, and collaborating with our management team to ensure high-quality programming. You'll play a key role in shaping both the coach and player experience, ensuring our programs remain organized, fun, and impactful.
Our program starts with children aged as young as 18 months and gets them excited about "organized activities." At that age, it's way more about fun and fist pumps than it is about soccer. However, our children quickly progress into kicks, goals and even scrimmages. By the time they hit ages 5 or 6 we introduce them to scrimmages and then onto more competitive play thereafter. We continue to progress through to our oldest kids, who can be as old as 13, and are more focused on game-like situations and skill development.
