What are the responsibilities and job description for the Rowing Coach position at The PEDDIE SCHOOL?
The Peddie Rowing program is seeking a coach to fill the following position:
Rowing Coach - Novice
Novice Coaches have full responsibility for a squad of Novice Boys or Novice Girls.
Rowing coaches may be part-time; ideally, coaches would also teach. Please see open faculty positions for needed subjects.
The Peddie Rowing teams train at the Caspersen Rowing Center on Mercer Lake. With a primary focus on racing coxed fours in the spring, our fleet is often converted to coxed quads in the fall. Peddie also has several Coastal Solos (singles), a new Olympic discipline in rowing. We just moved into our new erg rooms on campus this year! Our program carries about 50 varsity and 24 novice athletes in total.
Responsibilities include:
- Coaching high school rowers and coxswains on the water and on land in the fall and spring seasons
- Creating a positive, competitive, and fun team atmosphere
- Preparing rowers and coxswains for competition in head and sprint races.
- Attend all practices and competitions
Peddie practices Monday-Saturday afternoons in the fall and spring. Races occur most weekends in the spring and two or three weekends in the fall.
