Collegial and collaborative, the successful candidate will join a dynamic athletic department that views athletics as an essential part of the overall educational experience. We believe that participation in sports helps student-athletes develop lifelong skills—teamwork, resilience, leadership, and tenacity—that support success in the classroom, in college, and in life.

  • Collaborate with the JV Head Coach and Varsity program to ensure program alignment.
  • Promote sportsmanship, accountability, and team cohesion.
  • 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
  • Prior playing and/or coaching experience at the youth, club, high school, or collegiate level.
  • 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).
Compensation

This is a seasonal, part-time position with a pay range of $6,000 – $9,000, commensurate with experience and team assignment.
