Admin - Athletics/Coaching

Posted:

12/12/2008

Application Due:

Open Until Filled

Type:

Full Time

 

Post University is currently accepting applications for the role of Head Women's Lacrosse Coach.
POSITION SUMMARY:

Post University is an NCAA Division II institution and a member of the CACC Conference. The position of Head Women's Lacrosse Coach will be responsible for the direction, instruction, supervision and coaching of the Women's Lacrosse Team.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Responsibilities include the overall administration of the program including budget, equipment ordering and travel arrangements. The recruitment of quality student-athletes is an essential responsibility of this position. Organization of constructive practices focused on player development is also a necessary part of the position.

The Head Coach is also responsible for driving the team van to and from contests as well as pre-season practice or tournaments. In addition to the above mentioned duties are attendance at the annual athletic awards banquet, any and all CACC conference meetings, any and all all-star balloting or voting meetings, and any and all Post University Athletic Department meetings. As a full time coach your presence at certain campus wide events will be required, as determined by the Director of Athletics. These can include Homecoming, Orientation, Freshman Orientation, Open Houses, and other campus wide events.

As the Head Coach of the Women's Lacrosse program, there will be certain recruiting goals that need to be met on an annual basis. These numbers will be decided upon by the Coach, Athletic Director, and President of the University. As part of the recruiting process, the Head Coach will be expected to make recruiting visits to local and regional high schools as well as showcases and tournaments. An annual mailing campaign and phone campaign will be a large part of the background work that will be executed by the Head Coach and supporting staff.

The Head Coach will report directly to the Director of Athletics and will be subject to annual reviews, as are all full time coaches. Fundraising will be required as part of the job duties - the numbers associated with each team's fundraising goal is determined by the extent to which the team decides to travel. Extraordinary travel for tournaments outside the scope of the normal local schedule would need to be fundraised for-this will be determined by the coach and athletic director prior to scheduling.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES:

As part of the full time responsibilities of this position, the Head Coach will help facilitate a community service outreach program for the athletic teams. This will entail arranging and setting up visits to hospitals, soup kitchens and youth/little league days for Post Athletics.
