Canadian ISD is seeking a passionate and organized Head Softball Coach to lead and grow our softball program while teaching in a core academic subject (any core certification). This coach will direct MS softball in the fall and HS softball in the spring, with the opportunity to contribute to HS football in the fall in a role that best fits the candidate’s strengths and experience.
Our high school will compete in UIL 3A as one of the smallest schools in the division. Softball is a relatively young program (9 years), and we have advanced to the playoffs the last two seasons, including winning the first two playoff games in school history this year. We are looking for a leader who can build on this momentum and continue to elevate the program.
