Middle School Coach
A middle school coach holds tryouts for students of a middle school to attend. By observing the students' skills with trials and practices, a middle school coach then decides who makes the team. With an organized team, the high school coach then begins to train the students throughout the preseason process. The coach assigns everyone specific positions and comes up with drills and organized game strategies. After the season starts, the middle school coach attends every game and guides their team throughout the match-ups. If any necessary changes have to be made during the game, they will be in charge of authorizing and implementing them. High school coaches continue this process throughout the year with different sports they're assigned.
Middle school coaches are typically required to have at least a bachelor's degree in a field such as physical education, health, kinesiology or another closely related discipline. Some coaches choose to earn a master's degree in education to increase their earning potential and qualify for administrative positions. High school coaches are required to receive certification in first aid and CPR. While most schools do not require a coaching certification, many coaches seek out additional certifications in sports such as volleyball, basketball and softball.
