The PCU Mentor Program is a great option for high school age players interested in expanding their knowledge of the game through paid coaching opportunities. Through the application process, coaches will be selected and placed into one of PCU's Youth Development Program (U8-10) age-groups.
Each age-group is lead by a US Soccer Federation licensed coach that will guide the Mentor Program participants through different activities. Mentor Program coaches will learn how to use guided questions to encourage learning and understanding of technical and game concepts, using freeze moments to explain and show players concepts, and the importance of play in training and how to coach in the flow of the activity.
Through the program, players will gain confidence in their understanding of the game through coaching as well as finding their voice as leaders. The skills participants will gain throughout the course of the program can be taken back to their teams where they can apply their new knowledge of the game and their leadership skills to their playing career.
Mentor coaches are paid $16 per hour.
There are three seasons to the PCU Mentor Program:
Spring (February through April)
Summer/Fall (May through November)
Winter (December through January)
