What does a TetraBrazil Soccer Camp coach do?
TetraBrazil Soccer Camps conduct camps in several States within the USA throughout the summer period. Camp locations vary from those that are in close proximity to major cities to those that are in more rural locations. Each camp runs for 5 days Monday through Friday. Camp coaches will work an average of 30 hours per week to consist of three hours of coaching each morning and three hours in the afternoon or evening. Each camp is non-residential and will include boys and girls aged anywhere from 6 years to 18 years old. The ability range ranges from beginners to advanced, both individuals and teams. Coaches are assigned to a coaching group at the start of each week and this is determined by each coach’s qualifications and experience. Coaches will be expected to conduct a coaching clinic for local parents and coaches during the week together with an end of camp ceremony where parents, campers and coaches take part in an end of camp celebration.
How long could I do this?
Coaches will be contracted to work for periods of 5 - 12 weeks. Contracts start as early as the first week in June and for consecutive weeks through the middle of July. All contracts will end in August at which time our coaches will have the opportunity to travel if they wish before returning to Brazil. The coach will work with a specific club/ymca/parks and recreation dept/high school for each week of the summer. At the end of each week the coach/group of coaches will then travel to their next location. There could be significant travel between camps however this provides staff with a great way to see the USA.
Who can apply?
This programme is open to experienced and motivated individuals over the age of 19 years old who are interested in working with children whilst at the same time developing their coaching skills.
Will I need a visa?
All candidates will be issued a J1 visa. TetraBrazil Soccer will be responsible for acquiring the visa. This visa will allow you to work for Challenger Sports for a period of up to 3 months with an additional month for travel if you wish. All staff must fully comply with the US Department of homeland Security requirements and must have a valid passport and working visa prior to departure to the USA. This will require each candidate to submit a police background check and be interviewed in a US Consulate in Brazil. With the present climate the Department of Homeland Security is scrutinizing all applications thoroughly and all relevant paperwork must be completed within set deadlines to the standards required. We have a full time member of staff in Brazil who will guide you through the visa application and will provide you with the necessary forms to complete the process in a timely manner.
What about pay, accommodation, transport etc?
Coaches will be paid a weekly salary which will be dependent upon the hours worked. TetraBrazil Soccer will open a bank account and provide the coach with an ATM card. Transportation whilst in the USA is provided by TetraBrazil Soccer in the form of rental cars. Each staff member will receive a coaching kit valued at over $400, together with a curriculum which has been developed over the years to implement the varied camp programmes we offer at each location. TetraBrazil Soccer also provides accomodation and a comprehensive medical insurance policy to cover each coach for the duration of their stay.
