Description

Seattle Waldorf School is seeking experienced and engaging Ultimate coaches for our grades 5-8 spring Ultimate programs. Our fall season is an in-house, recreational program focused on building up Ultimate skills through drills, scrimmages and Ultimate-related games. In the spring season we'll participate in the DiscNW youth leagues. The fall season runs from September 8 through November
5. Practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5pm at Magnuson Park.

We are looking for coaches who are experienced with Ultimate, have strong leadership skills, and can inspire young athletes to strive for their personal best while building up a sense of sportsmanship, a strong and healthy team atmosphere, and a love for the game. We are looking for people who share our belief that an inclusive school community provides students with the best possible environment.
