Middle School Coach

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
