Interview & Review: The C.O.A.C.H. Athletics Managers will review each application, conduct an interview, and evaluate references as needed.

Continuation of Coaching Role
Performance & Conduct Review: At the conclusion of each season, coaches will be evaluated based on performance, adherence to organizational values, compliance with policies, and contribution to the program. Continued service is not guaranteed and is subject to this review.

Commitment to Mission: Coaches are expected to model Christlike character, uphold the ethos of C.O.A.C.H., and work in cooperation with organizational leadership to ensure a safe, supportive, and high-quality experience for all athletes.

Participation Requirements
Attendance: Coaches must be punctual, reliable, and present at all scheduled practices, games, and events unless prior arrangements have been approved by leadership.

Safety Standards: Coaches must comply with all organizational safety measures, including background checks, reporting requirements, and adherence to policies protecting students.

Adherence to Policy: Coaches must consistently abide by the standards outlined in the CHA Policy Manual.

Social Media & Digital Conduct
Coaches are held to a high standard as role models for student-athletes, both in word and deed. This standard extends to all forms of digital media and social platforms.

Public Representation: Social media accounts and digital communications must reflect the values of C.O.A.C.H. and set a positive example for athletes.

Personal Profiles: If a coach’s personal social media profile does not fully align with these expectations, it must be set to private. Coaches are encouraged to create a separate public profile for their role as a coach.
