    Job Summary

    We are seeking a Strength & Conditioning Coach who can prioritize Baseball focused needs like speed, agility and power yet understand how strength and power play a defining role in everything we do. As a Strength & Conditioning Coach, we would like someone who will perform fitness assessments, design customized training programs, develop the athletic prowess of primarily baseball players (and other sports) and provide insights on injury prevention. Your primary goal is to help clients define their fitness objectives, on field needs to compete at higher levels and to understand how to communicate with players and parents alike. We are about tracking information and creating benchmarks to measure progress so a process is very important to us. We need someone who has a strong understanding of how the body works scientifically and can optimize strength, speed and endurance. The ideal candidate is a junkie for the gym, who wants to grow personally as we are constantly challenged with how to address juxtaposing needs: balance or power, strength or speed and when to rest or power through a program, professionally. We ideally would like NCSA-CPT certified coaches.

    We can offer part time opportunities which will evolve into a full time position- a two way street and a potential win-win.
