Each season Girls on the Run has a dynamic group of coaches that volunteer their time to guide and mentor girls so that they are prepared to become happy, healthy, self-confident adolescents and adults. Coaches need not be runners; they just need to be individuals that want to be a positive influence and who are committed to developing and celebrating our youth.
Head Coach: Must be female and at least 21 years old and be CPR certified. They are responsible for facilitating the Girls on the Run curriculum each day throughout the season. At least one head coach must be present each day the site meets (20 meeting days).
Assistant Coach: Must be at least 18 years old. Assistant coaches do not facilitate the curriculum. Assistant coaches may be male or female. At least one assistant coach must be present with head coach at all times.
Junior Coaches: Must be at least 16 years of age and do not facilitate the curriculum.
All new coaches need to attend a day-long training prior to coaching. The new coaches training for our Spring 2012 season will be on Saturday, February 11th, 2012 in Nampa.
