• Develop the student-athletes both on and the field.
• Provide daily feedback to both the team and to specific student-athletes.
• Help to manage the logistics of the entire program from running daily practices to game day logistics.
• Assist and help with the college placement of the student-athletes.
• Manage and support the assistant coaching staff.
• Recruit prospective student athletes.
• Attend all NEPSAC lacrosse meetings.
• Possess and maintain a coaching philosophy that is in accordance with Millbrook's core values and mission.

• The ability to communicate clearly with high school athletes and with other coaches.
• The ability to grow and foster teamwork.
• The ability to hold student-athletes accountable in a meaningful and thoughtful manner which focuses on their growth as an individual.
• Energetic self-starter in addressing all details of leading a competitive high school program.
• A strong commitment to the student-athlete concept.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to drive students to away games.

Compensation:

In isolation, this is a part-time position and this person would be asked to work roughly 14-16 hours per week for the duration of the season (from the week of March 2nd to the week of May 18th when Millbrook School is in session). Compensation is commensurate with experience and is typically $5,000 per season for a varsity coach.

Most Millbrook coaches also teach, coach additional teams, serve as an advisor, and support students in other capacities on campus. Were a candidate's skills aligned with openings in other departments, this could become part of a full-time position.
