Manage player development, safety, and supervision to support student achievement and well-being.

Work collaboratively with the coaching staff, athletic department, and activities director to ensure program continuity, alignment with school goals, and clear communication with families.

Ensure all safety, educational, and school district protocols are followed.

The Ideal Candidate Will Possess

Previous nordic skiing experience, either through prior playing or coaching roles.

Strong knowledge of nordic skiing rules, techniques, and strategies.

Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to interface effectively with student-athletes, families, and the broader school community.

A proven ability to mentor and motivate high school-aged athletes, cultivating a lifelong appreciation for physical fitness, teamwork, and positive choices.

A deep commitment to inclusivity, helping to develop an environment that represents and welcomes all students and families.

Must hold a valid CPR/AED Certification and complete all mandatory NFHS courses.

Please apply via SchoolSpring to Renee Breault, CVU Athletic/Activities Director, with a letter of interest and a sport-specific resume.
