What You Need to Get Hired in Glenwood Springs

Requirements depend on the district, sport, and level. Here's what most programs expect.

Experience
Sport Knowledge

You don't need to have played at a high level, but you need to know the sport. Programs care more about your ability to teach and develop athletes than where you played. Assistant roles are the most common entry point.

Certifications
CPR, First Aid & Concussion Training

Most school-based roles in Colorado require CPR/First Aid certification and online concussion training before you can coach. Some districts also require NFHS Fundamentals of Coaching. All of these can be done online in a few hours.

Screening
Background Check

Every school district and most club programs near Glenwood Springs require a background check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This is processed through district HR after you're offered a role.

Teaching License
Not Always Required

Roaring Fork School District hires non-teacher coaches for assistant and head positions. Club and youth programs never require a teaching license. If the posting requires one, it will say so explicitly.

If you're new to coaching, start as an assistant. Get your certifications done first. Most districts won't move forward until those are complete.
