Finding our Stride Looking for Coaches

By: Robert Jones

Finding our Stride, A Collaborative After School Program that Promotes Fitness, Self-Esteem, and Teamwork Through Running is Looking for an Assistant Coach!

We would like to offer Finding our Stride (FOS) twice a week during the CCBA after-school program, which includes kids grades 3-6. The main hurdle now is finding two coaches. FOS and CCBA are both excited about the potential for this program and CCBA is polling families now regarding their kids' potential interest.  CCBA would oversee it and we'd love to start it in mid-April, for the spring season, and run through mid-June. The team would practice two days per week for roughly 75 minutes, roughly 3:30 - 4:45 pm. We are currently aiming for Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this would be flexible, based on coaches' schedules. The coaches don't have to be great runners - the priority is for them to be good with kids. If one coach could do a run/walk and the other could keep up with the faster kids, that would be ideal. They would need to be background checked and FOS would pay for that.

The perks are:

  • Modest stipend: $550 for Assistant Coach for the 6-8 week season
  • Free t-shirts
  • Entry fees for an end of season race/event
