Boarding High School Soccer Coach and Teacher

Position Overview.  The Christchurch School Soccer program is looking to add a qualified, passionate, forward-thinking, community-oriented coach to help take this successful program to the next level.  The program includes a Boys Fall program, the Girls Spring program and Winter off-season training program. A passion for boarding school life and the ability to work in other areas of the school is required, we are looking for a "triple threat" - a soccer coach who would also enjoy the uniqueness of weekly dorm duty and supporting one of the other arms of the school – (teaching, admissions, student life, health services, and development).  Previous high school teaching experience is highly desired and is the most common “work in other areas” offered, but college counseling, admissions, media relations, and development experience and interest are also often available.  International travel experience and/or passion to travel is also highly desired. 

Both teams have had tremendous success over the past three seasons.

• Fall 2024 Boys State Champions
• Fall 2023 Boys State Finalist
• Fall 2022 Boys State Champions
• CCS Boys soccer 40-10-7 record over last three seasons (W-D-L)
• Spring 2024 Girls State Finalists
• Spring 2023 Girls State Finalists
• Spring 2022 Girls State Finalists
• CCS Girls soccer 35-9-10 record over the last three seasons (W-D-L)

As a boarding school, our students come from all over the country and world and the teams are highly diversified—boarding and day students, domestic and international.  On average, a team will have 10 different countries represented.  Spanish and/or French speaking is helpful, especially for international recruiting, educational, and marketing trips, but not required.  Numerous opportunities exist for the ideal candidate to support the existing program structure, as well as shape its direction for the future.
