Little Kickers

This company lies to their customer's, they state that coaches are "professionally trained" when that couldn't be further from the truth. Training is conducted on shift by learning as you go. They have very high expectations of coaches without providing proper wage compensation or proper training. They do not honour Alberta's outdoor workers safety guidelines, having you work in extreme temperatures in open fields without providing shade or adequate access to water, often without access to toilets. Employees are not trained to identify heat stroke/stress, nor does management conduct adequate hazard assessments. For instance they say that they cancel classes if its over 37°, however, this temperature cut off is not based on the "feels like" measure of temperature which takes into account humidity, wind and cloud cover and is a practical measure of how the human body experiences temperature. With the exception of afew, management is passive aggressive and exploits young workers who are in or just leaving high-school. As much as the job itself is emotionally rewarding if you like working with kids and being outside, you will not be compensated well.

Meet and greet with parents in the morning to make sure the children are ready for the day. Each class is tailored to the specific age group that is being taught. Ages range from 4-10 years old. The management is great and very easy going. It feels easy to communicate with my management. The hardest part of the job seems to be time management. Flying through games will leave you with a lot of time at the end which children will notice if we do not keep them busy. The most enjoyable part has to be the children. No matter how tired I am when I arrive it seems I can't refrain from trying to be as energetic and happy as they are.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The kiddos are awesome. The co-workers are great, you become like family. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staying healthy can be difficult. The water can dry out your skin.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome, management is very supportive. The owner is always available for a chat.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy. Very energetic kiddos. Each lesson is a 30 minute private one on one lesson. The pool is kept at around 90 degrees to keep the kids comfortable.

Job is fantastic. Weekend work teaching kids life skill through football. Early starts and done by midday. Staff are friendly and cooperative and boss iss great and realky approachable. I enjoy working here and think its ideal for someone who has time over the weekend 

The interview process takes around two weeks. They'll call you in and train you to become an Assistant Football Coach(that's how they assess your teaching skills). Then you'll slowly become a Lead Football Coach. Good Pay

A typical day in work is setting up the field for the first session. Followed by a brief meeting with coordinator and coaches about the plan for that days' session. When kids arrive we want to provide the best quality possible to ensure kids are learning and being challenged as well.

I worked there and in my almost full year i was not allowed to call off. Not many hours were given at all or any opportunities to grow within the company. 

Little Lickers was a fun experience. Coaching soccer is a very cool thing for me and being around little kids makes it all the more enjoyable. My job was to teach little kids but they also taught me a lot.

Little kickers is a great place to work. However, the job requires a big amount dedication and consistency. Work environment is great, working with kids one on one every week helps to build a connection and make work more enjoyable 

Overall a lovely work environment to be in. The parents and children are great fun and very talkative. There are lots of different people to meet and speak to.
