The vision for On Goal Soccer Camps is to use soccer to partner with local churches in order to reach out to people in their communities for the purpose of leading children and their families toward life’s greatest goal - knowing Jesus! 

​

​

What will I do as an On Goal Soccer Coach? 

​

On Goal Soccer Coaches travel as a team to various cities in the US and abroad to run weekly soccer camps for children ages 4-14. Most camps involve a 5-day program that begins at 9:00am and ends around 3:00pm. The final day of camp is a family day with competitions, a picnic, and an awards ceremony. After camp each day, the coaches often train, play soccer as a group, or play a match. The evenings after camp include dinner with fellow coaches at a family’s house or at the church, followed by an On Goal group activity or spending time with your host family. At the end of the week, On Goal coaches attend our partnering church together and then travel to the next camp location! 

​

WHERE do I stay?

​

On Goal Coaches stay with host families from our partnering churches. Coaches will stay 

with at least one other coach each week. Host families may have kids involved in the camp or may just be someone from the church who wants to offer their home and get to know the coaches. On Goal works in partnership with the churches that sponsor and promote the soccer camp in their community. Staying with a host home is a great way to encourage and bless people in the church and to develop lasting friendships in different parts of the country. Many of our coaches keep in touch with their host families even making life-long relationships.  

​

Do I get paid? 

​

Coaches get paid for each week of camp that they work. 

​

Do I need to raise money? 

​

As members of our summer ministry staff, we ask that our coaches raise support in order to help cover various costs of ministry. Upon arriving in Cincinnati, Ohio for training week, all expenses including food, lodging, and gas will be covered and paid for throughout the summer.
