The Coaching Director is responsible for providing leadership and support to the coaching staff, managing coach development and performance, and ensuring compliance with club policies and expectations.
The ideal candidate is a strong leader who is passionate about both coach and athlete development, enjoys mentoring coaches, communicates effectively, and is committed to creating a positive and competitive club environment.
This position is part time, hybrid and the hours fluctuate seasonally. The club volleyball season runs November-May and this role is strongly tied to the club season. This position requires 10-15 hours per month during the off-season (May-August) and ramps up beginning in September with monthly hours reaching near 50 hours per month during peak season (Dec-April).
This position allows you to set your own hours during the week, but does require weekly practice check-ins and travel to and from tournaments throughout the season. 8-10 hours per week of availability during daytime hours (10:00am - 6:00pm) are required during peak season months.
