Make an Impact Through Play
High Velocity Sports is hiring Child Development Coaches for our Lil’ Kickers and Skills Institute programs at both our Taylor Sportsplex location, our Romulus Athletic Center location and our home base at High Velocity Sports location (Canton, MI)
This role goes beyond coaching — we are looking for team members who understand that confidence, listening skills, and child development come first… soccer is the vehicle.
If you love working with kids, bring great energy, and want to grow with a strong team, we want to meet you.
About Our Programs
Lil’ Kickers is a nationally recognized child development program that uses soccer to help children ages 18 months–7 years build confidence, coordination, listening skills, and teamwork in a fun, imaginative environment.
Skills Institute is the next step for players ages 5-12 ready for more technical development, focusing on individual foot skills, game awareness, and continued confidence building in a positive, high-energy setting.
Both programs focus first on developing the child - not just the athlete.
Who Thrives in This Role
You might be a great fit if you:
- Love working with children ages 18 months–12 years
- Bring BIG positive energy
- Are reliable and punctual
- Take feedback well and apply it quickly
- Communicate warmly with parents
- Enjoy being active and on your feet
- Want opportunities to grow
Soccer experience is helpful but NOT required for most classes- we train the right people.
What You’ll Do
- Lead fun, structured classes using our proven curriculum
- Build confidence and skills in young athletes
- Create a safe, engaging, high-energy environment
- Communicate positively with families
- Assist with field setup and breakdown

We provide curriculum and training — what matters most is that you:
- Love working with children
- Bring positive energy
- Create a supportive learning environment
- Are coachable and reliable
If you enjoy helping kids build confidence through movement and play, you can thrive here.
