The Whitewater Unified School District is seeking a dynamic and experienced Head Girls Softball Coach to lead our high school program. The WHS softball program competes in the Rock Valley Conference and WIAA tournament series. Student-athletes participating in softball at WHS come from a variety of different skill levels from first year players to players who participate in travel programs. All WHS coaches are expected to incorporate and model good character, self-discipline, respect, honesty, responsibility, and sportsmanship.
Candidates must have knowledge of the technical and fundamental aspects of softball at an advanced level and demonstrate the ability to work cooperatively and collaboratively with other coaches and administration for the benefit of an entire program. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to successfully work with and motivate student-athletes.
Preference will be given to candidates with the following:

-Knowledge of the existing system and WIAA softball regulations
-Evidence of understanding risk injury factors in softball
-Evidence of understanding strength and conditioning practices specific to softball athletes
-Experience staffing, budgeting, and scheduling for athletic programs including off-season conditioning and team programs
Whitewater High School has approximately 600 students and offerings similar to schools of a much larger size. We take great pride in being a Triple- A school by giving our students the opportunity to explore academic, athletic, and art offerings in a smaller and much more personalized setting than a high school of 1000+ students. In addition, our vast curriculum allows students to prepare themselves for post-secondary education or the world of work by learning and using 21st century skills.
