Tulsa Youth Rowing Association is seeking coaches for its competitive, recreational, and outreach rowing programs. Currently, the organization has about 20 members (recreational and competitive) but will be expanding during the fall to accommodate an increasing interest in this sport and growth in our outreach programs. These positions require a motivated and organized leader who enjoys working with middle school and high school-age rowers and can motivate and cooperate with rowers and other coaches.
The amount of time required to fulfill the requirements of the position will vary based on position but applicants can expect to coach from two to five days per week if hired to coach the novice team, and at least 5 days per week if hired to work with the varsity team. Applicants seeking to coach the competitive team (novice and/or varsity) should also be prepared to travel with the team on at least three weekends (per school semester) to out-of-town regattas and also attend meetings and various team functions. However, we have various coaching positions (recreational and outreach) so can be flexible in certain contexts.
