Description

The Peddie Rowing program is seeking a coach to fill the following position:

Rowing Coach - Novice

 

Novice Coaches have full responsibility for a squad of Novice Boys or Novice Girls.

Rowing coaches may be part-time; ideally, coaches would also teach. Please see open faculty positions for needed subjects. 

 

The Peddie Rowing teams train at the Caspersen Rowing Center on Mercer Lake.   With a primary focus on racing coxed fours in the spring, our fleet is often converted to coxed quads in the fall.

  • Coaching high school rowers and coxswains on the water and on land in the fall and spring seasons 
  • Creating a positive, competitive, and fun team atmosphere 
  • Preparing rowers and coxswains for competition in head and sprint races.
  • Attend all practices and competitions 

 

Peddie practices Monday-Saturday afternoons in the fall and spring.  Races occur most weekends in the spring and two or three weekends in the fall.

 

Requirements

  • At least three years of collegiate rowing/coxing experience or above
  • Clear understanding of rowing technique
  • Ability to communicate and explain concepts clearly 
  • Create and maintain a safe, positive atmosphere for students to develop into competitive athletes of high character
