# Coach - Soccer Specialist

> Sportyard · Charleston, United States · Part-time · Posted 2026-07-27

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

### The Role

As a Specialist Coach, you lead higher-skill sessions in your area of expertise (soccer) while supporting broader programming when needed. You raise the bar for athletes who want to improve — without losing sight of safety, fundamentals, or age-appropriate coaching.

You are expected to be technically strong **and** adaptable.

### What You’re Responsible For (Outcomes, Not Tasks)

**1\. Specialty instruction**

-   Sessions are well-planned and purposeful
-   You teach correct technique and progression
-   Athletes understand _why_ they’re doing drills

**2\. Athlete confidence & improvement**

-   Kids feel challenged but supported
-   You adjust drills to different ability levels
-   Progress is visible over time

**3\. Safety & professionalism**

-   You coach with control, not intensity for intensity’s sake
-   You enforce rules consistently
-   You stop sessions if safety is compromised

**4\. Program support**

-   You collaborate with other coaches
-   You help elevate overall program quality
-   You support multi-sport programming as needed

### Who This Role Is For

You’ll thrive here if you:

-   Have deep experience in basketball, volleyball, soccer, flag, or athletic performance
-   Have coached youth or teens in structured settings
-   Can teach, not just demonstrate
-   Respect that this is a youth environment, not elite-only training

Former college athletes, club coaches, and trainers often excel here.

## Requirements

-   Must be **18+**
-   Proven experience coaching your specialty
-   Comfortable working with ages 5–14
-   CPR / First Aid certified (or willingness to obtain)
-   Willing to coach evenings, weekends, camps, and clinics

### **Application Standards**

We take our hiring process seriously and expect the same from applicants.

-   Please answer all application questions thoughtfully. Incomplete or generic responses will not move forward.
-   If selected for a one-way video response, completion is required to continue in the process.

This helps us identify candidates who are prepared, detail-oriented, and genuinely interested in the role.

## Benefits

-   **$50–$60/hour**, based on experience and session type
-   Priority access to clinics, camps, and advanced sessions
-   Unlimited Sportyard membership
-   Join a team that values preparation, accountability, and energy — not just showing up
