What it means to be a Coach or an Assistant Coach

Head Coach – The Head Coach is the person who sets the spiritual & athletic tone for the team. The Coach is the direct liaison between the Christian Center Athletic Director & the families/players on the team. He/she runs the practices, leads the team during games, sets up a line of communication with the families. The Head Coach is our MVP (most valuable person) each season.

Assistant Coach – The Assistant Coach helps the Head Coach in all the duties that make for a successful season. Many times during a season the Assistant Coach will lead the team in the absence of the Head Coach. Though the responsibilities are not as great as the Head Coach, the Assistant Coach is key to the season running smoothly for their team/families.
