UFIT
Job Description
Job Description
We Want the Coaches Students Remember.
UFIT is looking for experienced Head Coaches with strong collegiate, professional, or high-level competitive sports backgrounds to lead our school-based sports and athletic-development programs throughout Los Angeles County.
We are especially interested in former NCAA Division I and Division II athletes and coaches, professional athletes, collegiate coaches, and proven high-level competitive coaches who can bring real athletic knowledge, leadership, discipline, and mentorship to young people.
But athletic experience alone is not enough.
A UFIT Head Coach must be able to lead a complete program, develop other coaches, teach athletes, communicate with school leadership, solve problems, and take ownership of the quality of the site.
What You’ll Lead
As a UFIT Head Coach, you are the on-site leader responsible for both coaching quality and team performance .
You will:
- Lead structured sports, physical education, and athletic-development programming.
- Teach proper technique, movement, coordination, conditioning, teamwork, and sport-specific skills.
- Demonstrate skills and break them into clear, age-appropriate progressions.
- Keep students actively participating, learning, and improving.
- Direct Assistant Coaches and assign staff to groups, drills, stations, and responsibilities.
- Observe Assistant Coaches and provide clear coaching, feedback, and correction.
- Develop newer coaches into stronger instructors and leaders.
- Lead pre-program staff huddles and make sure the team understands the plan.
- Maintain organized transitions, equipment, student groups, and program flow.
- Identify safety concerns and make immediate adjustments when needed.
- Communicate professionally with principals, teachers, administrators, and UFIT leadership.
- Track student engagement, skill development, and program outcomes.
- Complete required attendance, UFIT Motion, incident, and End-of-Day documentation.
- Follow through on staffing, equipment, school requests, and operational issues until they are resolved or properly escalated.
Who We Are Looking For
You may be a strong fit if your background includes:
- NCAA Division I playing or coaching experience
- NCAA Division II playing or coaching experience
- Professional or semi-professional athletic experience
- Collegiate coaching experience
- Championship-level high school coaching
- Elite AAU, club, academy, travel, or competitive sports coaching
- A strong record of developing athletes who advanced to collegiate or elite competition
We are looking beyond the résumé.
A former D1 athlete who cannot lead people is not automatically a Head Coach.
A UFIT Head Coach must be able to walk onto a site and demonstrate:
Leadership. Organization. Coaching ability. Judgment. Reliability. Communication. Accountability.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of coaching, athletic instruction, player development, or comparable sports leadership experience
- Strong competitive athletic or coaching background
- Demonstrated ability to lead or mentor other coaches, instructors, athletes, or staff
- Ability to confidently demonstrate and teach athletic skills
- Understanding of progressive athlete development—not just games and drills
- Strong communication and leadership skills
- Ability to manage multiple student groups and coaching staff
- Dependable attendance and punctuality
- Professional communication with school personnel
- Reliable transportation throughout Los Angeles County
- Comfortable using mobile technology for attendance and program documentation
Strongly Preferred
- Former NCAA Division I or Division II athlete
- NCAA collegiate coaching experience
- Professional or semi-professional playing experience
- Head Coach, Lead Coach, or Program Director experience
- Degree in kinesiology, physical education, exercise science, sports management, education, or a related field
- Experience developing athletes for collegiate competition
- Multi-sport coaching experience
- Experience working with elementary and/or middle school students
What Success Looks Like at UFIT
A strong Head Coach does more than have a good session.
Your site should consistently demonstrate:
- High-quality sports instruction
- Strong student participation and engagement
- Athlete skill progression
- Safe and organized programming
- Assistant Coaches who understand their assignments and improve under your leadership
- Strong relationships with school administrators
- Reliable attendance and staffing
- Accurate program documentation
- Professional communication
- Problems identified early and followed through to resolution
You are responsible for your performance and the performance of the team you lead.
