Early-years soccer, movement and child development programme Job Summary KickIQ x Reign is looking for an energetic, warm and reliable KickIQ Coach to deliver fun-first soccer and movement sessions for young children at Reign HQ Indoor Facility in South Florida. KickIQ is not a traditional soccer coaching programme. It is an early-play soccer and movement programme for children aged 18 months to 8 years. The sessions use soccer, movement, stories, games and imagination to help children build confidence, coordination, social interaction, emotional regulation and early decision-making. Our method is built around five simple foundations: Look. Move. Choose. Play. Reset. The ideal coach will be positive, playful, organised and confident working with very young children and parents. This role suits someone who enjoys helping children learn through play, not someone who wants to deliver rigid drills or performance-focused soccer sessions. About KickIQ KickIQ is fun on the surface, with development underneath. Children come to play, move, score, imagine and have fun. Underneath, they are learning how to look, move, choose, play and reset. KickIQ sessions are age-appropriate, story-based, active and designed to help children feel confident and excited to come back each week. The programme is delivered across four age bands:
