As Head Varsity Field Hockey Coach, you'll direct all aspects of the program for grades 7–12, including practice planning, game preparation, scouting, athlete evaluation, off-season development, and equipment management. You'll supervise and mentor assistant coaches, collaborate with the Director of Athletics, and serve as Moravian Academy's representative to the Colonial League, the PIAA, and our broader community. This is a seasonal position beginning immediately through the conclusion of the fall athletic season.
