The ideal candidate brings expertise in wrestling from both a technical and tactical perspective and understands how athletics can serve as a powerful tool in shaping student character.

• Support students through the college recruiting process as appropriate.

Qualifications:

• A passion for working with adolescents in a residential school setting.
• A strong background in wrestling, including prior coaching or competitive experience.
• Commitment to inclusive coaching practices and character-based education.
• An eagerness to participate fully in the academic, athletic, and co-curricular fabric of a vibrant boarding school community.

At St. Paul’s School, athletics are much more than an extracurricular activity; they provide learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Our athletic fields breathe the same air as the classroom, the stage, the lab, the studio, and the Chapel and allow students to push themselves to set and achieve new goals. Students have the ability to compete at the highest level, try something new, or enjoy being active with their friends. 

The School prides itself on its work ethic and sportsmanship while striving for athletic excellence. Interscholastic teams meet four days a week for afternoon practices, while competition days are primarily reserved for Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

Please see our Team Pages for more information about the sports offered at SPS.
