FSRA Coaches and Contacts:

The Orlando Area Rowing Society, located on beautiful Lake Down in
Orlando, is seeking applications for assistant coaching positions
within the Junior Competitive Team for the upcoming 2007-2008 season.
Looking to expand its coaching staff to one of the largest in the
south for juniors, OARS is also adding to its inventory of equipment,
boats and infrastructure for its 100+ athletes. Entering its
eighteenth year of competition, we offer qualified coaching
candidates an opportunity to be part of advancing the program from a
well respected local club to a junior rowing team of national
prominence that is focused on participation with excellence.

Ideal candidates will have a college degree, college rowing
experience, and previous coaching experience. However, we will also
consider an applicant for an entry level coach. The position could be
a great leadership opportunity for a recent college grad to teach
younger rowers the finer rowing skills they have developed in a
college crew program. O.A.R.S. is committed to providing a variety of
opportunities for its coaches, including coach training,
conferences, "ride alongs", certifications, and implementation of
sound scientific training principles. The club is also committed to
providing very competitive salaries.

It is important to the club to find coaches that possess:

- a professional dedication for athletic development/expertise in
coaching
- an excellent personal character and commitment to program
organization
- organizational and motivational skills
- abilities in interpersonal communication and community relations
- demonstrated ability to work with students, staff, administration
and parents
- the belief in setting high expectations for themselves and their
student athletes
- a positive "Can Do" attitude and good sense of humor and enthusiasm
- an ability to model life-long learning skills.

interest and resumes including previous rowing and/or coaching
experience to Lisa Kelley - lak6@.... Feel free to forward
