Search HEAD VOLLEYBALL COACH
Christchurch School is a co‑ed Episcopal boarding and day school serving grades 9—12. Founded in 1921, Christchurch is located on a 125‑acre waterfront campus on the Rappahannock River in eastern Virginia’s tidewater region. The school’s Mission is to inspire and guide each student’s pursuit of personal excellence in academics and character so they are prepared for meaningful lives as engaged citizens and community leaders.
Position Overview
Christchurch School is looking to find the next leader of our volleyball program. While we want a competitive program, we want the next program leader to continue to help foster young women who value character, curiosity, and community. We define success from the types of experiences our student‑athletes have as they grow and mature, rather than the number of wins and losses. Nonetheless, we are proud that we are able to maintain that philosophy while we also have a competitive volleyball program. The new coach will be excited about building on a strong tradition while ensuring that student‑athletes come to Christchurch for the totality of the CCS experience and not only to play volleyball.
A passion to learn and to work with high school‑age students in a boarding‑day school setting is a necessity. As is a desire to see the work of a coach as contributing to many areas of the life of a boarding school environment.
Christchurch volleyball competes in the League of Independent Schools and in VISSA Division II. This is a stipend position. Please send a resume to Athletic Director Joel Jorgensen at jjorgensen@christchurchschool.org.
