Summer Club Coaching

be a part of our pillar program.

At Prime, we are looking to take coaching to the next level. We believe in developing strong fundamental habits, patterns, and philosophies throughout the season. We emphasize the importance of having confident coaches who are able to lead and innovate, growing the next generation of Ultimate players. We are also looking for motivated individuals who are willing to invest time into building the culture and skill of their team, while also growing as a coach.

Our coaching positions are split into Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches. The descriptions of both positions are listed below. We are looking to hire 8 Head Coaches and 12 Assistant Coaches for the Summer. The teams will be split by skill (ex. Prime A, Prime B, and Prime C) and each team will have 1 Head Coach and 2 Assistant Coaches.

Teams will also be split by Touring and Regional intents, with touring teams looking to earn a spot to compete at the Canadian Ultimate Championships held in Ottawa at the end of the season.

Prior coaching experience is not required, however it will determine the role and team skill you may be coaching.
