TDP coach
IBU is looking for at least two energetic coaches for our senior and youth teams!
This is a unique opportunity to continue to build and capitalise on recent successes of our senior/youth teams and to also work with our upcoming talent as part of our TDP programme.
With the borders opening a little unfortunately we are saying goodbye to a few of our coaches as they take time to head home.
The Coach
We are seeking experienced and motivated coaches to bring the best out of our players. You will need a mix of technical and motivational skills - we want people who can bring out the best in our players both on the ball and mentally.
Ideally you will have a minimum C licence or above. We are open to having a discussion on qualifications.
We are flexible on how we allocate teams and pay based on coaching hours delivered. We work with our coaches to set the training program for players both in and out of season.
We run pre-season training and an all-year round TDP programme so there is opportunity for coaching hours outside of the season.
You will be expected to work as part of a wider coaching team across the club.
Development opportunities also exist as we believe in developing our coaches as much as our players - we are currently working on what our coach development program looks like for the 2022 season.
The Teams
Our men’s first team are coming off the back-end of a successful return to the Capital Premier League, finishing third in 2021. There is a core group of players ready to take on the tough 2022 CapPrem league and push for promotion!
Our women’s first team are committed to be a force to be felt this upcoming 2022 season in the women’s premier league!
The reserve men’s team did the business last year to secure promotion back into Capital 1. They’re are a large squad of young players thirsty for more success.
Our TDP programme is recognised as one of the best across the region. We are fortunate to have a motivated bunch of youth looking develop their technical football skills and mental game. We are also looking to field a junior girls team this year as part of our line up.
The Club
While Island Bay United is a community club, it is very much a place where the local footballing community go to get their competitive outlet! Well 900 locals in fact, with players across junior, youth and senior teams.
We are very focused on ensuring football pathways for our junior and youth players, so any senior coach will need to play a part in ensuring we work together as one team.
Underpinned by a core group of volunteers, anyone joining the coaching team needs will be introduced to the family, where we all support each other to succeed.
