Find & Apply For Coach Jobs in Glenarden, Maryland

We are looking for coaches that are able to connect with student-athletes between the ages of 5-13 to assist with the development of their athletic skills as well as their character. Coaches will be expected to monitor students' academic and social progression in the school environment by their weekly progress reports. A. Active Supervision and Accountability of Children Maintain continuous, active supervision of assigned children; position yourself to see, hear, and promptly respond to participants rather than relying on passive observation. Know the assigned roster and maintain accurate attendance, head counts, and location awareness during arrival, transitions, activities, restroom/water breaks, transportation, and dismissal. Follow MTA and host-site staff-to-child ratios and never leave children unattended. Immediately notify the supervisor if coverage or ratio requirements cannot be maintained. (Generally, 10:1) Release a child only to an authorized adult or through the approved dismissal process. Verify identity when required and report late pick-up, custody, or unauthorized-release concerns immediately. Use the buddy system and approved procedures for transitions. Do not take a child to an isolated or unobservable area, transport a child in a personal vehicle (from afterschool programs), or arrange private meetings without written authorization and required safeguards. B. Youth Protection and Professional Boundaries Maintain age-appropriate, professional boundaries. Prohibited conduct includes, humiliating or threatening language, hazing, bullying, favoritism that compromises safety, sexualized communication, harassment, retaliation, and unauthorized physical contact. Avoid one-on-one electronic communication with minors. Use only MTA-approved channels and include a parent/guardian or authorized MTA representative when required by policy. Do not photograph, record, post, tag, or share information about a child unless MTA has confirmed required consent and the activity follows MTA policy. Protect student privacy. Discuss student behavior, health, disability, family information, and incidents only with authorized persons who need the information for their work. Immediately report suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities as required by Maryland law and

MTA/PGCPS

policy; also promptly notify the designated MTA contact unless doing so would compromise safety or conflict with legal direction. Never investigate suspected abuse independently or promise confidentiality to a child. C. Safe Sports and Activity Delivery Plan and lead developmentally appropriate practices, games, drills, mentoring activities, and workshops aligned with MTA's mission and D.A.R.E. framework. Inspect the activity area and equipment before use; remove unsafe equipment from service and report hazards. Enforce sport-specific rules, hydration, weather, heat, concussion, injury, and emergency procedures. Explain activities clearly, demonstrate safe technique, adapt activities for skill level and approved accommodations, and stop an activity when conditions are unsafe. Administer first aid only within the scope of your training and MTA policy. Contact emergency services and authorized personnel when required. Do not diagnose, dispense medication, or deviate from an approved care plan. D. Behavior Support and Inclusion Set clear expectations and use positive reinforcement, redirection, restorative conversation, and approved de-escalation methods. Intervene promptly and safely in bullying, harassment, discrimination, fighting, or unsafe conduct; request assistance when intervention could create additional risk. Support participation of staff and youth regardless of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or other protected status, consistent with applicable law and MTA policy. Follow individualized support, medical, allergy, accessibility, or emergency plans shared by authorized personnel; do not independently alter those plans. E. Communication, Records, and Team Responsibilities Arrive on time and prepared; review rosters, schedules, emergency contacts, activity plans, site procedures, and assigned responsibilities before participants arrive. Communicate respectfully with children, families, coworkers, school/site staff, officials, and community partners. Refer sensitive complaints or disputes to the site supervisor. Document attendance, injuries, accidents, behavioral events, disclosures, property damage, and other required information accurately, objectively, promptly, and through approved systems. Immediately report a missing child, injury, emergency, suspected abuse/neglect, unsafe condition, boundary violation, or other serious incident. Complete written documentation before the end of the shift or within the timeframe directed by policy. Participate in required meetings, training, performance feedback, and program evaluation; safeguard MTA property and return records, keys, equipment, uniforms, and devices when requested. Other duties may be assigned requiring the same level of professionalism, attentiveness, and punctuality.
