"Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their growth." Jim Rohn
At HOPE coaching is much bigger than just a game or training. We strive to mentor, encourage, and develop character and sportsmanship.
Sport is an opportunity to give glory to God, consequently, the expectations for diligence in training, competing, and on/off court conduct are very high.
As coaches we are committed to planning for training, giving each player opportunities to grow and develop and staying up to date with games, tournaments, and rules.
Sometimes coaches have to make hard decisions about who to play in tight situations. Due to the nature of the ISSAPP competition, one loss may mean there is no opportunity to make the final. The coach is constantly juggling player court time, team dynamics, and the score line. Please respect that this is a tricky job and sometimes we will make good calls, and sometimes in hindsight, we will make different choices. We will do our best!

What is TRAC?
TRAC = Treatment Rehabilitation & Athletic Care
Our mission is to provide a weekly space to help the student athletes at HOPE International School understand their injuries and to guide their approach to recovery (return to sport) in order to improve their overall enjoyment of sport and their sport performance.
· To provide a Christ-centered approach to the athlete.
· To mitigate risk of injury and/or re-injury by working with coaches and staff.
· To see student athletes achieve their highest potential in assisting them with their goals and return to sport following an injury.
Vision: To see a centre created for the student athletes of HOPE International School in order to prevent, evaluate, and rehabilitate injuries related to participation in interscholastic sports. To provide a trusted space with a Christian perspective for the families of HOPE International School seeking guidance in the event of an injury.
Thank you for considering volunteering as a coach for our student teams. We have a fantastic selection, including basketball, volleyball, and football (soccer), plus exciting options like badminton, cross-country, swimming, and more.

Assistant Coaches - At HOPE we believe that young people have the potential to be phenomenal leaders if given the opportunity. Where possible assistant coaches should be at least 2 grade levels above the grade they are coaching. These student assistant coaches will be asked to help with training, equipment, giving feedback and as they grow in confidence drills and activities as well as game day coaching.
