Sports Coach

Overview

St. Edward Catholic School is currently seeking Coaches for the following teams this school year. This is a stipend-only position. All coaches must fill out an Applitrack form on the Galveston-Houston Arch-Diocese website, complete the online Safe Environment Training, and complete a series of required School Annual Trainings online – Bloodline Pathogens, First Aid & Sudden Illness, AED & CPR, Anaphylaxis & Epinephrine and Child Abuse & Neglect.

When the games begin in late August, the teams will normally practice twice and play twice a week. We participate in the Greater Houston Catholic Athletic Association which is divided into a North and South division. We normally play an away and home game against each of the schools in our division, so there will be travel involved. The players’ parents are responsible for transportation to games.

There is a wide range of skill among our student athletes. We do not cut student athletes, so every student who wants to play is able to make the team. The JV team is developmental and our Varsity is the competitive team. It is important that the candidate has coaching/playing experience, is knowledgeable about the game, has excellent communication skills, maintains a good rapport with players and parents, and serves as a good Christian example for our student athletes.
