Help Wanted: Assistant Coach for Craftsbury Ski Club Youth and Masters Programs

Wax testing is part of most every ski coach responsibilities.

The Craftsbury Outdoor Center (COC) is now accepting applications for an Assistant Coach with the Craftsbury Ski Club (CSC), supporting both youth and Masters cross‑country skiing and biathlon programs in northern Vermont.

The CSC is seeking an individual with a diverse coaching skill set to assist with the development of our Bill Koch Leage (BKL)/Junior/Master cross country skiing and biathlon programs. The CSC operates under the umbrella of the Outdoor Center and serves roughly 300 people aged 6-85 who are pursuing a goal of lifelong ski development. Our platforms range from learn-to-ski programs to highly competitive junior programs to recreational masters. The Craftsbury biathlon programs operate alongside ski programming and serve a smaller subset of the same athletes. During the off season, most of our ski and biathlon coaches stay busy working with our mountain bike programs, particularly our Wheels On Wheels learn-to-ride program.

Major Duties & Responsibilities May Include:

• Facilitate regular practices for ski and biathlon groups, ranging from BKL skiers to competitive juniors and Masters.

• Travel to regional races to provide waxing and race support.

• Help develop practice plans for each group.

• Assist in managing and maintaining equipment.

• Help organize and coach day and overnight camps.

• Maintain biathlon rifles and the range.

• Assist with weekly learn-to-ride bike groups on campus and at local schools.

Applications are now open. Full job details and application instructions can be found at craftsbury.com/jobs or via this link.
