Location: North Austin (78717)

Schedule: Week of July 13–16

• Approximately 1.5–2 hours per day

• Three to four days

• Flexible scheduling

Current or former teachers, youth coaches, education majors, bilingual professionals, and college students preparing for careers in education or coaching are encouraged to apply.

About the Position

Español Explorers Academy is seeking an energetic, dependable, and fluent Spanish-speaking soccer coach to join our elementary Spanish immersion summer camp.

This is much more than a traditional youth soccer coaching position. Our camps use sports, movement, games, music, and hands-on activities to help children develop Spanish language skills in an engaging immersion environment.

The selected coach will teach soccer fundamentals primarily in Spanish while adapting instruction for children who are still learning the language. Camp participants range in age from 5–11 years old and represent a variety of soccer experience—from beginners to children who have played on recreational or competitive teams.

All camps are conducted on elementary school campuses in partnership with local school districts. As a result, all staff members must meet the same background check standards required of public school personnel.

Position Responsibilities

The selected coach will:

• Lead one or two mixed-age groups of elementary students during daily soccer sessions.

• Teach soccer fundamentals, individual skills, drills, teamwork, and game strategies primarily in Spanish.

• Introduce and reinforce Spanish vocabulary naturally through movement, demonstrations, and game play.

• Modify activities to engage students with varying athletic abilities and Spanish proficiency.

• Progress students from individual skill development to small-group activities and practice matches.

• Foster a fun, encouraging, and inclusive learning environment.

• Collaborate with the Camp Director and instructional staff to support the camp's Spanish immersion mission.

• Maintain a safe environment while promoting teamwork, confidence, resilience, and good sportsmanship.

Qualifications

Spanish fluency is required. Applicants must be able to confidently coach soccer, demonstrate drills, explain activities, provide encouragement, and give safety instructions in Spanish.

Fluent English is not required. Coaches should simply be able to understand basic questions from children and follow simple conversations that naturally occur in English during camp.

Experience in one or more of the following is preferred:

• Youth soccer coaching

• Physical education

• Elementary education

• Spanish instruction

• Substitute teaching

• Instructional aide or paraprofessional experience

• Children's camps or recreational programming

• College coursework in education, kinesiology, coaching, child development, or related fields

The ideal candidate:

• Speaks Spanish fluently.

• Enjoys working with elementary-aged children.

• Creates a positive, energetic, and encouraging learning environment.

Applicants who can also teach Latin dance, Zumba, movement classes, or other enrichment activities are especially encouraged to apply.

Candidates who have classroom teaching experience and are interested in occasionally teaching beginning Spanish through an immersion approach are encouraged to indicate this in their application.

Background Check Requirements

Because camps are held on elementary school campuses, all selected candidates must successfully meet Texas public school district (ISD) background check requirements before working with students.

Applicants who have previously worked in a Texas public school district—including teachers, substitute teachers, instructional aides, coaches, or other school employees—will likely already have an active IdentoGO fingerprint record on file.

Candidates who do not already have fingerprints on file must be willing to complete the IdentoGO fingerprinting process immediately so the required background check can be completed before camp begins. Applicants should be confident they are eligible to successfully pass an ISD-level background check.
