Based on your age, experience, and license level you are eligible to coach in specific capacities within certain commensurate pay ranges. Before moving any further in your desire to coach at an Inter Atlanta FC Camp, please review our Staff Roles, Responsibilities, Ages, and Eligibility doc (click the link below) to be clear on which role you could be fulfilling and what the pay ranges are for each role.

In short, there are three different coaching capacities.

I.   Camp Staff Coaches (College Age and Adult Coaches)
II.  Camp Staff Coaches-in-Training CSTs (Coaches ages 14-17)
III  Volunteers (Coaches ages 12-13 or anyone looking for service hours)

Applicants Chosen to Move on in the Employment Process

Applicants chosen to move on in their employment process can expect the following three email communications from our Director of Camps (some applicants have already received these emails):

• 1st: An email outlining that we are moving forward with the applicant which includes an Availability form needing to be filled out within 5 business days. 
• 2nd: A follow up email confirming the specific camp weeks and times that are being offered to the applicant for their employment, based on open weeks and their Availability form.
• 3rd: One final email that outlines the attached applicant’s Service Agreement, which outlines their compensation details and additional camp information. Once the Service Agreement has been sent, they will be considered officially hired.

 

Applicants Not Chosen to Move on in the Employment Process

Applicants not chosen to move on in the employment process can expect the following: 

• An email from our Director of Camps thanking them for their time and interest in working with us, but outlining that we do not have an open position for them at this time. Some applicants may receive additional information about working as a volunteer if no paid positions are available for them this season, but some will not be given that opportunity in their email communication.  Those opportunities are solely at the discretion of our Director of Camps (within the next few weeks.) 

 

Staffing Decisions

Offered positions are considered very carefully, and we take many Director’s opinions into consideration when making decisions.  Prior working experience in the Camps Program is no guarantee for an offered position. When considering hiring an applicant, we evaluate: past camp work experience with us, work, attitude, work ethic, character, maturity, age, experience, license level, and more.  

In addition to those metrics, we strive to balance each camp with a certain number of Lead Coaches vs Support Coaches, ages of staff and volunteers, budget considerations, number of male vs female coaches, etc.  Staffing camps is our largest but most important task each camp season.  Please be patient with us as we make our way through each application slowly and carefully.

Please see the below process and expectations to becoming a Camp Coach.  These steps and expectations apply to all Volunteers, Camp Staff Coaches-in-Training (CSTs), Camp Staff Coaches, and Directors On Site that are hired for any camp.

All hired applicant's need to be prepared to fully complete each step.
