About the Role
Are you a high-energy "performer" who loves working with kids? Little Kickers is not just a soccer program; it’s a positive introduction to sport through imagination and play. We don’t just teach drills; we tell stories. We are looking for coaches in Moncton, New Brunswick who can transform a soccer field into a world of pirates, jungle animals, or space explorers to keep children engaged while they learn fundamental skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage & Animate: Lead high-energy sessions using our imaginative lesson plans to keep kids aged 18 months to 8 years focused and excited.
- Parent Partnership: Act as the face of the program by providing parents with clear, enthusiastic, and developmental feedback about their child’s progress.
- Safety & Logistics: Ensure a safe, inclusive environment and assist with basic tasks like attendance check and equipment setup.
- Problem-Solving: Use your "inner child" to creatively handle scenarios like a crying toddler or a group losing focus.
What We’re Looking For
- The "Wow" Factor: A REALLY outgoing and confident personality. You must be comfortable being silly and playful to connect with toddlers.
- Communication Pros: Excellent verbal skills to engage both children during play and parents during "sideline" discussions.
- Soccer/Sports Passion: Previous coaching or childcare experience is a major asset, especially in soccer.
- Reliability: We operate year-round. Consistent weekend availability is a must.
- Educational background: Early Childhood Education/Child Youth Worker, Kinesiology or Physical Education, or other studies/background in Child Care.
Requirements
- Physical Fitness: Ability to demonstrate drills and stay active for 3+ hours.
- Safety: A valid Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening (required by New Brunswick youth sport regulations).
- Certification: First Aid/CPR certification (or willingness to obtain it).
- Reliable Transportation: Ability to travel to class locations across the Saint John area.
Why Join Our New Brunswick Team?
- Competitive Pay: Competitive hourly rates starting from $18.50.
- Fun Environment: Work in a non-competitive, high-energy atmosphere where "fun comes first".
