This position requires previous youth soccer coaching experience. Applications from candidates without soccer coaching experience will not be considered. Please do not apply if you do not meet this requirement.
Wascana FC is a Saskatchewan Soccer Association–approved, non-profit youth soccer academy built around standards, structure, and long-term player development. We don't chase short-term wins and we don't run chaotic sessions — we build players properly: technically, mentally, and physically.
We're hiring experienced soccer coaches who share that mindset, to work with players ages 3–13. Based on your experience and certifications, you'll be placed as a Head Coach or Assistant Coach, with pay reflecting that placement.
Who We're Looking For
This role is a good fit if you:
- Care about doing things the right way, not the easy way
- Value structure, standards, and consistency
- Are open to feedback and accountability
- Want to improve as a coach, not just collect hours
If you're looking for casual coaching with no expectations, this isn't the right fit.
What You'll Do
- Plan and deliver structured, age-appropriate sessions following our Technical Director's curriculum
- Track player development and attendance
- Set standards for players (and assistant coaches, if in a Lead role)
- Set up and take down field equipment (cones, nets, balls) with help from volunteers
- Communicate clearly and professionally with players, parents, and fellow coaches
- Create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for players and families
- Represent Wascana FC's culture on and off the field
Jul-Aug Schedule
- Two training sessions per week: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00–7:00 PM
- One match day per weekend (typically Saturday, 9:00–10:00 AM), one to two times per month
- Additional hours available for the right candidate
- Season extension available: top-performing, dedicated coaches will be offered the opportunity to continue into our Winter Season (October–March)
Requirements (Mandatory)
- Previous youth soccer coaching experience
- At least one coaching certification: Active Start, FUNdamentals, Learn to Train, Soccer for Life, or C Diploma
- Respect in Sport certification
- Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Check (CRC-VSC)
Preferred
- Previous club or academy coaching experience (for Lead Coach placement)
- Comfort leading groups and assistant coaches (for Lead Coach placement)
Certifications are mandatory, also mindset, reliability, and standards matter more.
Non-Negotiables
- Arrive 15 minutes early to every session
- High energy, clear communication, and professionalism
- Ability to receive feedback without defensiveness
- Consistent attendance and reliability
- Respect for players, parents, and teammates
If punctuality, accountability, or structure are a struggle for you, this won't be a good fit.
What We Offer
- Paid position — $20–$30/hour based on experience and qualifications
- Consistent weekly hours, with potential extension into the Winter Season (Oct–March) for dedicated coaches
- Clear expectations and structure
- Opportunity to grow into leadership roles
- Mentorship within a serious development environment, working closely with our Technical Director
Pay: $20.00-$35.00 per hour
