Passionate soccer players and supporters aged between 18 and 30 across Dublin are being urged to apply for a programme that will see them work as a coach in cities across the US.
The USIT Soccer USA programme will see successful candidates spend between 6 to 12 weeks in the summer working as a soccer coach for young kids in different cities.
Each week the coaches move to a different location, which gives them a great opportunity to visit several cities around the US and experience the American culture.
To get hired as a soccer coach you need to pass a coaching assessment. You don’t need to be a brilliant player or a college student, just show you’ve got enthusiasm to do the job and will work well with kids.
There are free recruitment days coming up across Dublin and if you are successful, you will be offered the job on the day.
Assessment days will be held in UCD on November 21 and at Oscar Traynor Coaching and Development Centre in Coolock on December 5. You can register for the events on Eventbrite.
Mark Molly from Dundalk said: "I honestly had the best summer of my life Dallas, Houston and San Antonio and New York and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in football and coaching and who wants to travel.
"The experience I gained has been invaluable and I have grown so much as a person thanks to the Usit Soccer programme.”
