Assistant Coach Job Listing
Coach-in-Training Program
The purpose of the Counselor-In-Training Program at West Essex YMCA Racers Swim Team is to provide instruction through practical experience and hands-on learning to acquire skills that are essential in becoming an effective leader on our team and in our community. CIT’s who commit to the training program will discover a lot about themselves and their leadership potential.
The CIT program will focus on all aspects of leadership, teamwork, decision making and problem solving and guiding children’s behavior, along with building a foundation of knowledge about our camp policies, procedures and programs. You’ll meet once a week with other CIT’s and the Racers Coaching staff to discuss your experience and ideas, and spend time working hands-on working alongside a coach with one of our Junior practice groups.
Once accepted as a CIT, candidates will be invited to an Orientation session to review responsibilities and expectations and answer any questions that you may have.
CIT Eligibility Qualifications
• Swimmers in our Senior 1&2 groups may apply for this program.
• Two adult recommendations from someone other than family or friends who is familiar with your leadership abilities (i.e. club advisors, coaches, youth leaders, teachers, etc.) Please list the references on your application and have them complete the forms attached.
Please complete the CIT application by September 27th. We will email the reference forms for the recommendations.
Late applications will be accepted based on program availability.
