All applications for any location are made centrally via this page. You do NOT need to choose a location, but you are welcome to say where you would most like to go. We will try to match your skills and dates to the most appropriate location.
Applications are open all year. The sooner you apply the better your chances. You can apply to come in our winter or in our summer, and for any length of time (usually at least three months). Note that most states are looking for coaches from around September/October to March/April in the following year.
