Teachers & Childcare Professionals Wanted | Youth Soccer Coach | Flexible Schedule | $20–$45/hrAbout Us
Do you love working with children but want a job that gets you moving and brings the classroom outdoors?
At Soccer Stars, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence through sports. We're looking for enthusiastic educators and childcare professionals who are passionate about making a positive impact while helping children develop important life skills.
Soccer Stars is the leading youth sports organization serving Long Island and Eastern Queens. We provide engaging soccer classes, camps, and clinics for children ages 12 months to 13 years in schools, parks, community centers, and early childhood programs.

In addition to soccer, we also offer multisport and non-contact martial arts programs, creating exciting opportunities for coaches to expand their experience.
