Description:

We’re looking for a Sports Coach who understands that every athlete is different — someone who listens first, then tailors training to unlock personal bests through patience, structure, and motivation. You’ll be responsible for planning and leading practices that build skill, teamwork, and confidence across all experience levels. You’ll prepare athletes for competition by instilling discipline, focus, and a strong work ethic. You’ll teach technique with precision, correct form when needed, and explain the “why” behind every movement. We expect you to create an environment where kids feel safe to try, fail, and grow — with your encouragement every step of the way. You’ll give clear, age-appropriate feedback that helps each athlete understand how to get better. You’ll guide athletes through goal-setting, tracking progress, and learning from setbacks. We expect you to balance intensity with empathy — pushing hard while understanding when support is needed. You’ll monitor progress, adjust programs, and help athletes set and achieve personal performance goals.

Basic Qualifications:

• Recognize when an athlete needs encouragement, discipline, or just someone to listen.
• Keep athletes physically and mentally prepared for high-pressure situations.
• Review game footage to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
• Adapt coaching style to different personalities, learning styles, and motivation types.
• Handle wins with humility and losses with perspective—modeling resilience at every step.

Preferred:

• Can develop game-day strategies and adapt plans based on player performance or opponent tactics.
• Comfortable giving real-time feedback, correcting technique, and tracking progress over time.
• Understands injury prevention, basic first aid, and how to modify training for athletes returning from injury.
• Able to create structured practice plans that focus on skill development, conditioning, and teamwork.
• Willing to participate in continued education, clinics, or certification programs.

Benefits:

• Your ideas matter — help shape the training programs, not just run them.
• Chance to specialize — speed, strength, mindset, recovery, you name it.
• Respect from leadership — you’re not “just the coach”, you’re *the* coach.
• Athletes remember great coaches — your impact will last longer than the season.
• Pathways to certifications and upskilling — become elite, officially.

You’ll communicate regularly with assistants, parents, and management to align on development plans and expectations. You’ll track progress over time and recognize achievements both big and small. You’ll provide honest, constructive feedback — and help athletes turn setbacks into motivation. You’ll have the opportunity to shape not just athletes, but future leaders and teammates. You’ll have a direct impact on your athletes’ development, confidence, and sense of belonging. We value coaches who are dependable, passionate, and deeply invested in the people they train. If you believe that coaching is about more than winning — it’s about teaching, building confidence, and celebrating growth — we want you on our team. Let’s build a team where every athlete feels proud, prepared, and inspired to give their best.
