Job description

Middle School Coach

The International School of San Francisco Athletic Department is seeking positive, passionate and knowledgeable coaches for the middle school. The program includes 2–3 weekday afternoon practices and games on weekday afternoons, evenings and/or weekends.

Job Duties and Expectations

All head coaches and assistant coaches report directly to the Athletic Director and have primary responsibility for administering all levels of their sport. The candidate must follow procedures of the high school’s athletic program, as well as those of 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 conflict, coaches will assist in seeking resolution at an appropriate time before or after contests.

Player Development

Coaches will assist in the total development of all student‑athletes by using positive methods to create an ideal learning environment and help them through their life journey. They 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 student‑athletes based on skill, character, integrity, leadership, coaching ability, and love for the sport. Skill alone will not supersede the Core Principles of the Jaguar family. Coaches will select student‑athletes that best represent the school’s mission without regard to ability or status, and will incorporate a student‑driven mid‑ and post‑season review shared with the athletes.

Team Leadership

Coaches will foster an environment that develops positive leadership qualities both on and off the field. They will select team captains and Student‑Athlete Advisory Committee members based on character and leadership ability rather than athletic performance, adhere to chain of command, and uphold the mission of the school.

Qualifications

• Experience coaching at the middle school, high school, college or club level
• Experience working, playing or coaching in a value‑based athletic program
• Reliable, prompt and dependable
• Must have transportation
• Ability to pass a full background check
