Coach Job Description

Athletic teams are not ends in themselves but tools which Mount Royal Academy employs to help student-athletes grow in virtue and flourish as human beings. Striving to be competitive and achieve victory, Mount Royal teams also keep in mind the higher goal of growing in virtue and bringing Christ to all whom we compete against.

The coach must share this vision and these goals. A coach must at all times conduct himself in a manner that embodies this philosophy and sets a good example for the student-athletes. Behavior from a coach which goes against the mission and values of Mount Royal is unacceptable. Any coach who exhibits unacceptable behavior is subject to disciplinary action, which may range from suspension to termination.

All coaches must attend a preseason meeting and a private end of season review with the Athletic Director. The coaches meeting will outline program and team expectations and the end of season review will evaluate how goals and expectations were met. Coaches are considered at-will employees of the school.

A coach’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Preparing practice plans and directing practices which include skills and drills to develop and prepare student-athletes for games appropriate to their age and skill level
• Maintaining an open line of communication with the Athletic Director for schedules and team related information
• Communicating team and school policies/expectations with the players and assistant coaches in conformity with the school’s communication policies
• Securing all facilities as needed and whenever directed to do so by the Athletic Director
• Establishing a team culture which promotes the mission of Mount Royal Academy, character development, and personal accountability while still being competitive against opposing teams in that team’s league
• Modeling virtue by fully embodying the mission of the school, fostering relationships with players, parents, referees, and opposing coaches; showing respect and sportsmanship in victory and defeat
