SUMMARY
Hit Club Baseball is seeking an in-house Strength & Conditioning Coach to lead group athletic-development workouts for youth and high school baseball players (ages 13–18) during scheduled membership training blocks. This role anchors the physical-development side of Hit Club’s Performance membership and is central to the Hit Club Way: development first, data as proof. In addition to leading member group training, the coach receives full facility access to build and run a private-training clientele for additional income. The ideal candidate blends baseball-informed strength and power training, a safe and energetic coaching presence with young athletes, and the professionalism to represent the Hit Club brand to players and parents.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Group & Membership Training (primary responsibility)
- Lead group strength & conditioning sessions of up to 8 athletes (ages 13–18) during scheduled membership training blocks.
- Deliver Hit Club’s baseball-specific programming: lower-body strength (trap-bar based), rotational power (medicine-ball), speed and plyometrics, and arm-care / shoulder-health work.
- Scale loads, progressions, and expectations to each athlete’s training age and physical maturity; prioritize movement quality and safety over maximal loading, especially for younger athletes.
- Run athletic testing days — force-plate jump testing and medicine-ball throw velocity — and record results into each athlete’s player profile.
- Maintain an organized, high-energy, and safe training floor with efficient athlete flow through stations.
- Build relationships with athletes and parents; communicate clearly and encouragingly.
- Contribute strength & conditioning notes to monthly player progress reports and coordinate with hitting and pitching staff.
- Keep the weight room clean and organized; monitor equipment condition and report maintenance needs.
- Support camps, clinics, team training, and special events as needed.
Private Training (facility-access privilege / additional income)
- Receive full facility access to build and deliver private and small-group training sessions for additional, self-generated income.
- Book all private sessions through the Hit Club system and adhere to facility scheduling, booking, and facility-access terms.
- Maintain the same standards of safety, professionalism, cleanliness, and brand representation during private sessions as during member training.
Professional Standards & Safety
- Uphold Hit Club’s child-safety standards at all times, including appropriate, professional conduct with minors and adherence to supervision and facility protocols.
- Maintain current certifications and comply with all facility rules, safety procedures, and emergency protocols.
