coach In Training
- Overview

- Commitment
- Apply!
Our summer camps and youth programs are well-loved by our participants but, unfortunately, there comes a time when your child will become "too old" to participate. Have no fear - your child can apply to join our Coach in Training (CIT) Program!
The Summer Camp CIT Program and the School Year CIT Program offer aspiring coaches the chance to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to become excellent sport leaders, while having a chance to give back to the camps and programs they love. CITs begin by exploring their coaching philosophy through mentor discussion, observation, and reflection. Over time, CITs will develop an understanding of how to build rapport with younger athletes, assist with dynamic gameplay, demonstrate professionalism in the workplace, and maintain an organized training space.
Program Goals:
- CITs will develop a coaching philosophy and identify which coaching style(s) fit them best at this point in their coaching journey.
- CITs will learn and practice the basics of various sports including soccer, basketball, dek hockey, field hockey, dodgeball, flag football, volleyball, etc.
- CITs will learn and practice coaching skills including leadership, conflict resolution, giving and receiving feedback, motivation, communication, etc.
Summer Camp CIT Time Commitment:
CITs are asked to make a 4 week time commitment (these weeks do not need to be consecutive but must be completed within the 2025 summer).
Our camp days begin at 9am and end at 5pm. CITs are asked to remain at camp for a minimum of 4 hours each day to ensure there are enough opportunities for skill development and growth.
*We do not take CITs for less than 4 weeks.
Year-Round CIT Time Commitment:
CITs are asked to attend at least 6 classes during the 8-week session. We understand that CIT's are athletes too and might need to take a session off to focus on their own sport season!
Summer Camp CIT Deadline: Positions will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis through May 1, 2025. Late applications will be assessed at the discretion of the Summer Camp Director.
Year-Round CIT Deadline: This program accepts rolling admissions. Positions will be filled based on program availability.
