Previous coaching experience at the middle school, high school, or competitive level is preferred. A bachelor's degree and coaching certifications are also preferred.

This is a part-time, seasonal position for the 2026–27 school year. The JV Coach is expected to participate in scheduled practices, games, team activities, and other basketball program responsibilities throughout the season.

Coaches also participate in twice-monthly Coaching Huddles and support the school's 3D Coaching approach, with an emphasis on developing athletes through intentional goals, relationships, character, and growth.

Knowledge of First Aid/CPR and successful completion of required background screening are required.

JV basketball is an important step in an athlete's development. As the JV Coach, you'll have the opportunity to help student-athletes build the skills, confidence, discipline, and character they need to take their next step—both on and off the court.

You'll also be part of a collaborative, Christ-centered coaching team committed to building a strong and consistent basketball program.

If you're passionate about basketball, player development, and positively influencing young athletes, we'd love to have you on our coaching team!
