Coach-in-Training and Mentorship Program
Our Coach-in-Training (CIT) Mentorship Program is designed for young leaders ages 14–15 who are eager to develop real-world leadership skills while helping out at BeachSports.
What is the CIT program?
As a Coach-in-Training, you'll work alongside experienced coaches (your mentors) in a fun, supportive environment. You'll help lead activities, build meaningful connections with younger participants, and develop the confidence and skills to take on a full coaching role in future summers.
What you'll gain
- Hands-on leadership experience in an active, outdoor setting
- CPR and First Aid certification
- Mentorship from experienced BeachSports coaches
- A foundation for future employment with BeachSports as a coach (ages 16+)
Who can apply?
The CIT program is open to teens ages 14–15. No prior work experience is needed, just a positive attitude and enthusiasm for working with kids.
