The Director leads a structure of up to ten Head Age Group Coaches across five age groups and both genders, building and sustaining a high-performing coaching culture. This role reports directly to the General Manager and works alongside the Representative Programs & Community Engagement Coordinator. This is a volunteer position supported by an honorarium determined by the Board — a focused, seasonal leadership role rather than a large weekly time commitment, with the time involved to be agreed with the General Manager.
