Mountain Valley Schools is looking for six coaches for the upcoming fall season, and we would love to find them right here in the valley.
If you played in high school, if you have coached peewee or rec ball, or if you have simply been in the bleachers for years thinking you would enjoy being on the sideline instead, this is your invitation. Coaching experience is welcome but it is not required. We will train the right person, and we will help cover the cost of the certifications you need.
MVS is a small school. Our coaches know every athlete by name. For a lot of our students, a coach is the adult they remember for the rest of their lives. That is the job.

Season: August through October, including postseason Start date: August 3, 2026 Application deadline: Open until filled. Applications are reviewed as they come in.
The district will assist with certification costs. If you are not sure whether you qualify, call us and ask. We would rather have the conversation than have you rule yourself out.
Current MVS employees are encouraged to apply. So are community members who do not work for the district.
These are seasonal stipend positions and are not benefits-eligible. District employees who take on a coaching assignment keep the benefits attached to their primary position.
