Urgent appeal for Irish people to work as soccer coaches in USA this summer

Do you like football?

Do you like the idea of heading to America for the summer?

Do you like getting paid for the pleasure?

Well, oh baby, have we a job for you.

Each year, millions of young Americans gleefully take to soccer pitches all over the country hoping and dreaming to one day be competent at the beautiful game. Tragically even the very best players that the US can produce cannot beat Trinidad & Tobago, a country with a total population smaller than San Diego, but that’s where you come in. You can help!

Soccer is the second most participated sport for under 18’s in the US but the bottom line is that they need guidance in turning their ‘midfield stripes’ into ‘halfway lines’. If you think you’re up to that task, you could just have the best summer of your life along with it.

If you love the beautiful game and want to spend next summer exploring the US – while getting paid to do it – then USIT Travel have the dream opportunity for you.

Each summer, they hire hundreds of coaches aged 18-30, with no previous experience or badges required, to spend up to 10 weeks Stateside running Soccer Camps all over the country.

The programme fee is from €999 and that includes return flights (east coast), insurance, summer work visa, accommodation, meals and coaching kit worth $400 AND a whole month at the end of the summer to explore the US on your terms.

Can you really stand by and watch the global mortification endured by players like Christian Pulisic and DeAndre Yedlin as they miss out on Russia 2018? The next generation of US players badly need your help!

So how do you apply? Next week, USIT will be holding Trial Days for coaches across the country and they’re completely free to register for! Places are limited mind you so you’d better get on it fast:

• UCC, Cork – 13^th Nov @ 1pm
