Paid position dependent on experience with coaching insurance, but no benefits. East is an inner city high school in Denver that has a very strong lacrosse program. This past season, East finished up at fourth in the state being knocked out in the semifinals by the number one seed Cherry Creek High School.

Responsibilities depend on position. Common responsibilities include designing and running practices for team of up to 20 girls, taking a week long lacrosse trip (with additional parent chaperones) to the east coast for competition, communicating well with coaches, parents and players, uniting the program to work under consistent philosophies at all three levels, help develop and run fall and summer training programs for a variety of levels, run clinics for youth players to help inspire interest in East’s program, work with parents to help maintain a diverse team through raising money and providing funds to those in need.

Expectations: Candidates have worked with high school aged children, have coaching experience, have lacrosse experience and knowledge, CPR certification helpful, teaching certification helpful, but not required.
