CLUB PREP COACH
We are so excited that our Club Prep program is growing rapidly! The progress of our young ones is something we love to observe.
We have a need to find an additional head coach and helper! Our classes are almost maxed out to capacity. Class is from 4:00-5:00 pm each day Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. This is a great option for those that want to coach but are unable to commit to full seasons or daily practice. This is only 1 to 3 hours a week depending on what works for your schedule.
Our Club Prep is a co-ed program is for young athletes, ages 6-15, who love volleyball and want to develop their skills. Athletes will learn foundational skills, proper technique, team camaraderie, all while having lots of fun! Participation will help prepare young players to be competitive for club and school team volleyball tryouts.
We need coaches to arrive 10 mins early to make sure the nets are set up and balls and equipment are ready to go. You will need to know volleyball basics and have coaching experience. Lesson plans that are fun and engaging. Goal is to keep as many of the kids moving as much as possible. Their attention span at this level can be short, so quick challenges and games are a big part of lesson planning.
All of our coaches, no matter what age group, are required to coach with positive reaffirming words of encouragement. We do not do discipline based coaching. When we notice mistakes the goal is to repeat until they get it right, cheering them on the entire time. As they grow older discipline becomes necessary for laziness etc but not at this entry level age group.
Also, we coach from the beginning proper technique and form. Learning perfect motions from the start prevents injuries and having to break bad habits later. This is one reason we only teach over-hand serving, for example.
Sam will be available to discuss what each class is focusing on and review how she likes to structure each day.
Head Coach Requirements: Volleyball experience, some coaching experience (open to training), AAU membership with background check (can get membership after accepting offer), reliable and great with kids. Able to commit to at least 1 hour a week.
Helper Requirements: Volleyball experience, 16 years or older, reliable, and great with kids. Able to commit to at least 1 hour a week.
If you feel like you would qualify to be our next Club Prep Coach please email sam@vortexvolleyballutah.org with a short summary of why you qualify, including any experience. We will reply back with details on pay or athlete participation compensation to those interested.
Thank you so much!
