The UD Team SBYD Coach will use their passion and expertise in sports, health and fitness to change young lives. As a member of the UD Team Youth Development Department, coaches will use the power of sports and physical activity to engage, educate, and energize at‑risk youth.

Coaches will lead multiple sessions each day, teaching athletic skill development, coaching their teams in inter‑ and intra‑school competitions, while ensuring UD Team’s Core Values of Teamwork, Leadership, and Communication are present in each session.
