Compensation: $20.00–$25.00 per coaching hour, based on experience and suitability for the program
Opportunity Type: Part-Time | Independent Contractor

Make a Difference Through Early Childhood Development

First Touch Soccer is looking for warm, patient and engaging individuals to support a small-group youth enrichment program at a Montessori school in Garden Grove.

This program uses simple soccer-based games, movement and play to introduce young children to physical activity while helping them build confidence, coordination, social skills and positive relationships with others.

This is not a traditional soccer coaching role.

You do not need to be a highly experienced soccer coach. What matters most is your ability to connect with young children, keep them engaged and create a safe, positive and encouraging environment.

We are particularly interested in people with experience working with young children through early childhood education, Montessori, preschool, childcare, camps, recreation, teaching, mentoring or similar environments.

What You'll Do

Lead fun, age-appropriate soccer, movement and play activities for children ages 3–5.
Create a warm, safe and encouraging environment where every child feels included.
Use games, movement and positive reinforcement to encourage participation, cooperation and confidence.
Support children's physical development, social skills and enjoyment of being active.
Adapt activities to suit different personalities, energy levels and abilities.
Actively supervise children and help ensure activities and equipment are used safely.
Communicate professionally and positively with parents, guardians and school staff when needed.
Arrive prepared, on time and reliably fulfil accepted assignments.

Program resources and activity materials are available to support contractors in delivering the program.

What We're Looking For

This role is a great fit for someone who is:

Patient, nurturing and encouraging with young children
Energetic and comfortable leading active play
Confident engaging children ages 3–5
Reliable, punctual and professional
Comfortable working in a Montessori or early-childhood environment
Experienced working with young children through education, childcare, camps, recreation, youth programs or similar settings

Soccer experience is helpful but not required.

Schedule & Availability

Programs take place on Thursdays beginning in September 2026.

We are currently looking for availability within one of the following windows:

10:00 AM–12:00 PM
2:00 PM–4:00 PM

Depending on program staffing, coaches may be scheduled for two consecutive 45-minute sessions.

The program will run for approximately 8–10 weeks, finishing during the first week of December.

Why Join First Touch Soccer?

$20.00–$25.00 per coaching hour, based on experience and suitability for the program
Short-term 8–10 week program with potential for additional opportunities
Program resources and activity materials provided
Opportunity to work in a supportive early-childhood environment
Meaningful work helping young children build confidence, social skills and a positive relationship with movement

Apply Today

If you are over 18, love working with young children, are patient and nurturing, and enjoy creating fun and engaging experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

You don't have to be a soccer expert — we're looking for someone who understands young children and knows how to make them feel safe, included and excited to participate.

Pay: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

Are you at least 18 years of age?

(Yes/No)

Please describe your experience working with young children, particularly ages 3–5.
What skills or qualities do you think someone needs to successfully work with a group of 3–5-year-old children?
How would you create a fun, safe and engaging experience for a group of 3–5-year-olds with different personalities, energy levels and abilities?
Please describe your experience with soccer, sports, movement or other physical activities.
