Soccer Shots Lafayette
Head Coach (Annual Salary Position)
Compensation: $18,000–$21,000 annually (Paid over 26 equal pay periods)
Why This Position Is Different:
Most youth coaching jobs only pay you when you coach.
At Soccer Shots, we believe dependable coaches deserve dependable pay.
Our Head Coaches receive a predictable annual salary, paid every two weeks, regardless of how many sessions are scheduled that particular week.
During our busiest seasons, you'll coach approximately 20–25 sessions per week while working around 30 hours per week.
During our year-round subscription programming, you'll typically coach 10–12 sessions per week, resulting in approximately 12–15 hours of work each week, while continuing to receive the same bi-weekly paycheck.
If you're looking for consistency, flexibility, and the opportunity to make a positive impact on children's lives, we'd love to meet you.
