Coaching Jobs
You already know how to coach. We give you the structure, the mentorship, and the culture. You just coach.
The Position
New coaches are mentored by our Director of Player Development. Every team runs the same systems. You'll never be out there figuring it out alone.

The coach who notices the quiet player in the back row. The one who shows up with a practice plan, not a wing-it attitude. Someone who takes this seriously enough to prepare, and loose enough that the girls actually want to come back tomorrow.
What You'll Do
If most of this sounds like something you’d do anyway, you’re probably our kind of coach.
Develop players
Run structured practices using the club’s core systems. Build game plans that actually move players forward. Give honest, specific feedback after every match and practice.
Build culture
You set the tone. No favorites, no drama. Teach competitive drive alongside sportsmanship, and build the kind of environment where a player feels safe to try a new position and fail.
Grow the program
Help recruit players and keep them coming back season over season. Partner with other AVC teams on cross-team scrimmages and skill clinics. Share competition successes and team photos for the club website and social media.
Show up
Be present and on time for every practice and tournament. This is a commitment, not a favor.
The scoreboard resets. What she learns doesn’t.
Minimum Qualifications
You don’t need to check every box, but the more of these that sound like you, the better.
