Job Description

We are seeking an experienced speech or debate coach to guide a rookie team at
Rochester Prep High School. On our students' paths to and through college, nationally

is part-time and will report to the Enrichment Program Manager.

    ● Up to 2 hours per week preparing for Projects, competitions, and after school practices.
    ● Long-term coaching during “Projects”: Meet with students Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1
    hour each day, from August to June.
    ● On average at least 6 hours of practice outside of school hours weekly, working directly
    with students to prepare for competition
    ● Internal employees who also serve as coaches are responsible for the preparation and
    communication about any absences caused by team tournaments during their standard
    work hours
    Competitions: at least 6 weekend tournaments over a 6-month period
    ● Research and identify appropriate competitions and tournaments.
    ● Sign up for competitions, in partnership with the school-based Enrichment Program
    Manager.
    ● Coach and travel with students to at least all competitions
    ● At least one competition should be nationally recognized (for example, National Speech

    can lead to competing on the national scale.
    ● Chaperone students to at least 2 regional/local competitions that take place ahead of the
    national competition and can serve as preparation
    Family Communication
    ● Because of the significant time required for after-school practices, school-based
    Enrichment Program Managers and coaches identify team members and confirm
    commitment via signed parent permission form indicating after-school commitment
    ● In partnership with the school-based Enrichment Program Manager, establish a family
    communication protocol using the Remind app to update families about competition,
    after school practices, and any other time outside of school that students will be doing
    club-related activities.
