Middle School Baseball Coach - Grades 4-8

Overview

The International School of San Francisco – Middle School Coach

(2-3 weekday afternoon practices; plus games on weekday afternoons, evenings and/or weekends). Season starts Monday, February 23, 2026 through May 17, 2026.

The International School of San Francisco is seeking positive, passionate and knowledgeable coaches. The Athletic Department operates within a K-12 independent school setting, serving over 600 students in grades 5–8. The Jaguar Athletic experience emphasizes growth, pride and enthusiasm for all members of our community, from the novice to the college-bound athlete. Student-athletes participate in competitive team and individual sports, developing healthy practices of mind, body and character for themselves, their teams and their school.

Our international community brings together people from many backgrounds to create a shared culture that develops compassionate, confident and principled people. Our values are Respect, Integrity, Inclusion, Collaboration, and Curiosity.

All head coaches and assistant coaches report directly to the Athletic Director and have primary responsibility for administering all levels of their sport. The successful candidate will be required to follow the procedures of the high school’s athletic program, as well as those of the International and California Interscholastic Federation.

Coaches will provide clear communication for student-athletes and families regarding expectations and philosophy. In the case of conflicts, coaches will be available to help seek resolution at an appropriate time which will not take place immediately before or after a contest.

Coaches will assist in the total development of all student-athletes by using positive methods to create an ideal learning environment, helping them through their life journey, not just their athletic journey. Coaches will create and implement a meaningful practice structure to enhance instruction, development, and effective use of time for all team members within the program.

Coaches will use a holistic approach when evaluating a student-athlete, considering qualities such as skill, character, integrity, leadership, coachability and a love for the sport. Skill alone will not supersede the core principles of the Jaguar family. Coaches will select student-athletes that best represent the School’s Mission without regard to ability or status. A student-driven, mid- and post-season review will be conducted and shared with the student-athletes.

Coaches will foster an environment that develops positive leadership qualities on and off the field of play. They will select Team Captains and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) members based on character and leadership ability rather than athletic performance or status. Coaches will adhere to the chain of command. Coaching at our School is a privilege and a responsibility; they will uphold the Mission of the school and conduct themselves accordingly.
