children.
- Soccer: Soccer experience is preferred, however, if you are
great with children and have some familiarity with the game, that
would work.

2-8-year-olds and have experience doing so. This is very
important.

scheduling; meaning that if there are some morning or afternoons
where you aren't available, we can work around that. However, once
your schedule is set with us, it won't change. You'll be at the
same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be
committed for the entire season. Soccer Shots® is the #1 Children's
Fitness Franchise in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible
curriculum, leadership, and passion, it's because we only hire the
best instructors to work with our children. Sure, we want you to
have some soccer skills and to be familiar with the game, but more
importantly, can you handle a group of three-year-olds? This is
what separates Soccer Shots from everyone else - we are in this to
impact children in such a way that we leave a lasting impression on
them that will give them the confidence to be successful both on
and off the field. We want our Soccer Shots sessions to be the best
30-40 minutes of each child's week. If this excites you, read on to
