  • Maintain appropriate supervision of student-athletes before, during, and after practices and games.
  • Support clear communication with athletes, families, and the Athletic Department.
Requirements:Who You Are

  • Strong understanding of basketball fundamentals, strategy, and player development.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and positively with student-athletes.
  • Team-oriented, organized, and dependable.
  • Enthusiasm for working with high school athletes and fostering a supportive environment.
  • CPR and First Aid certification required (or willingness to obtain before the season).
