Soccer Shots Pittsburgh is hiring reliable, personable, communicative, & engaging coaching interns to help us pursue our Company Vision Statement: "To positively impact children's lives and to provide a remarkable experience for their families on and off the soccer field through best-in-class coaching, communication, and curriculum.

As an intern for the Pittsburgh East region, possible coaching locations include Irwin, White Oak, Plum, North Huntingdon, Penn Township, and Monroeville, among others.

Each intern has a unique, personalized schedule; hours worked range from 10-15 hours per week depending upon availability, location, & ability / performance. While our biggest need is for weeknight & weekend coaches, potential scheduling blocks could (depending upon a person's availability) include:

We will only schedule you to work when you are available, but your availability must be consistent each week for the duration of the season. We operate year-round with winter, spring, summer, fall, & fall 2.0 seasons; each season typically lasts 8 to 11 weeks. Coaches are expected to have reliable personal transportation & to be available & present for their particular time slot(s) all 8-11 weeks of the season.  

Instructors should also be willing to perform other duties as requested in order to to help drive to our Vision, fulfill our Mission, & abide by our Core Values. Paid, seasonal in-person staff trainings are required and will be announced in advance.

 OUR CORE VALUES:

Responsibilities

Obtaining Academic/College Credit

This internship experience may or may not already be an approved academic credit internship with your school.  Please make sure to notify us immediately if you are seeking academic credit through your school for this experience.  With your help, Soccer Shots will work directly with your school’s registrar, academic advisor, or internship department to help you achieve academic credit for this internship experience. 

The non-coaching duties of this internship are unpaid, but school credit may be offered if your particular school’s internship requirements are met.

Requirements

Intern must have their own reliable, personal vehicle for transportation to/from our locations, which are located throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. Interns must also have a laptop with reliable internet.

Internship Structure and Compensation:

Each internship is unique depending on time of year, program needs, and candidates' interests and abilities. As noted above, we do expect to need the intern to work approximately 10-15 hours per week. Please let us know how many hours you need when you apply.

Compensation is $18/ 30 to 45-minute session for Head Coaches & $10/ 30 to 45-minute session for Alternate Coaches / Coaches-in-training. It is typical for coaches to go through an initial, paid training period (as an Alternate Coach / Coach-in-Training) before being promoted to Head Coach. Non-coaching work is unpaid.

Please Note: This is a slightly atypical position in that you will have only very occasional in-person contact with the rest of the Soccer Shots team. Many of our staff members work remotely; as such, much of our communication takes place via email, text messaging, phone calls, and online video conferencing. Given this, the candidate MUST be motivated, organized, communicative, and self-regulating. This position is NOT suitable for those who require a significant amount of oversight or a socially-driven work environment.
