Essential Duties:

  • Be a positive role model
  • Plan, direct, and administer policies for all team practices and matches
  • Communicate team expectations at the start of the season
  • Design training sessions that are dynamic, engaging, and provide a challenge
  • Create an environment of respect that is rooted in hard work, teamwork, sportsmanship, and supporting teammates
