Job description

International School of San Francisco

Season starts Sept 8, 2026 - Mid November 2026. The Athletic Department seeks positive, passionate and knowledgeable coaches. We work with over 600 students enrolled in grades 5-8th in a K‑12 independent school setting. The Jaguar Athletic experience is a journey that will foster growth, pride and enthusiasm for all members of our community.

Job Duties and Expectations

All head coaches and assistant coaches report directly to the Athletic Director and are responsible for administering all levels of their sport. The successful candidate will follow the procedures of the high school’s athletic program and the International and California Interscholastic Federation.

Communication

Coaches will provide clear communication for student‑athletes and families regarding expectations and philosophy. In the event of a conflict, coaches will be available to help seek resolution at an appropriate time, not immediately before or after a contest.

Player Development

Coaches will assist in the total development of all student‑athletes by using positive methods to create an ideal learning environment, helping them through their life journey, not just their athletic journey. Coaches will create and implement a meaningful practice structure to enhance instruction, development, and effective use of time for all team members.

Player Evaluation

Coaches will use a holistic approach when evaluating a student‑athlete using qualities such as skill, character, integrity, leadership, coach ability, and a love for the sport. Skill alone will not supersede the Core Principles of the Jaguar family. Coaches will select student‑athletes that best represent our School’s Mission without regard to ability or status. Coaches will incorporate a student‑driven, mid‑ and post‑season review that will be shared with the student‑athletes.

Team Leadership

Coaches will foster an environment that develops positive leadership qualities both on and off the field. Coaches will select Team Captains and Student‑Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) members based on character and leadership ability rather than athletic performance or status. Coaches will adhere to the chain of command and understand that coaching at our School is a privilege, not a right. They will uphold the Mission of the school and conduct themselves accordingly.

Qualifications

• Experience coaching at the middle school, high school, college or club level
• Experience working, playing or coaching in a value‑based athletic program
• Reliability, promptness and dependability
• Transportation
• Ability to pass a full background check
• In accordance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records may be considered

Application Requirements

Applicants should include a letter of interest, current resume, and three references.

Compensation

Salary Range: $2,000 – $4,500 depending on experience and team level.

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

The International School of San Francisco is committed to providing an open, fair, inclusive, non‑discriminatory environment for all individuals across differences of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, socio‑economic status, ethnicity, age, physical ability, or medical condition. We seek to increase the presence, representation and inclusion of U.S. historically under‑represented people of color, international, bilingual and bicultural students, faculty and staff; and to provide an environment that will attract and retain individuals identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or intersex (LGBTQQI).
