Thank you for your interest in coaching with Tiny Troops Soccer®! I am thrilled to share your commitment to youth soccer and military families. TTS® is a year-round developmental soccer program for 1 - 8 year olds that introduces children to the game of soccer and teaches basic soccer skills through fun activities and games.
Each session consists of:
· Separate groups of one, two, three, four, and five year olds (3 & 4 may be combined depending on numbers, 4/5 & 6/8 advanced skills will be combined)
· Three, 25 minute (2 year old), 45 minute (3 & 4 year olds), and 55 minute (4.5 – 5.5 & 6-8 yr. old Advanced Skills) sessions per group per month
· Maximum number for one coach per session is 8 kids
*Sessions are offered on a monthly basis with (online) sign-ups occurring mid-month for the next month’s sessions. Sessions will be held on base in an open area/park or just outside of it.
**The number of sessions each month depends on the number of coaches available, as well as the number of participants that have signed up. Due to this, TTS cannot guarantee a set amount of hours per month.
As a Tiny Troops Coach, you will be provided with:
· Demo video of a TTS session and skills used
