We Want the Coaches Students Remember.

UFIT is looking for experienced Head Coaches with strong collegiate, professional, or high-level competitive sports backgrounds to lead our school-based sports and athletic-development programs throughout Los Angeles County.

We are especially interested in former NCAA Division I and Division II athletes and coaches, professional athletes, collegiate coaches, and proven high-level competitive coaches who can bring real athletic knowledge, leadership, discipline, and mentorship to young people.

But athletic experience alone is not enough.

A UFIT Head Coach must be able to lead a complete program, develop other coaches, teach athletes, communicate with school leadership, solve problems, and take ownership of the quality of the site.

What You'll Lead

As a UFIT Head Coach, you are the on-site leader responsible for both coaching quality and team performance.

You will:

  • Lead structured sports, physical education, and athletic-development programming.
  • Teach proper technique, movement, coordination, conditioning, teamwork, and sport-specific skills.
  • Demonstrate skills and break them into clear, age-appropriate progressions.
  • Keep students actively participating, learning, and improving.
  • Direct Assistant Coaches and assign staff to groups, drills, stations, and responsibilities.
  • Observe Assistant Coaches and provide clear coaching, feedback, and correction.

  • Maintain organized transitions, equipment, student groups, and program flow.
  • Identify safety concerns and make immediate adjustments when needed.
  • Communicate professionally with principals, teachers, administrators, and UFIT leadership.
  • Track student engagement, skill development, and program outcomes.

  • 3+ years of coaching, athletic instruction, player development, or comparable sports leadership experience
