Roller Derby of Central Kentucky (ROCK) is looking for coaches for our 2019-2020 season.
ROCK is athletic. For many women, roller derby is their first team sport and athletic endeavor. The skaters in ROCK train daily to perform at their highest levels to win bouts and give spectators a great sporting experience. This is evidenced by a very loyal and ever growing fan base. As a proud member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), ROCK’s finest skaters compete at home, regionally, and nationally against other high caliber teams.
ROCK is empowering. Training for an athletic pursuit builds positive body image and the grassroots business model engages and empowers women in all walks of life as local business owners. The skaters, as well as invaluable volunteers, give their time and money to keep ROCK alive and thriving. The experience of not only being an athlete, but owning your own league is unrivaled in the ability to empower and enrich members’ lives.
ROCK is focused on community. Not just a sports team, ROCK is a registered non-profit (501c3) business that is committed to enhancing the fabric of the unique city that is Lexington. ROCK gives time and money to several local charities (including Ampersand Sexual Violence Resource Center of the Bluegrass, Toys for Tots, Wounded Warriors, and the Lexington Humane Society) and partners with local businesses whenever possible. ROCK can also be seen in local newspapers, on newscasts and podcasts, heard on radio stations, and spotted at local events such as parades, and charity events.
A coach for ROCK should embody all three of these things. By doing so, it helps us grow as a team, as a league, and as a family. Thank you for your interest in applying for a ROCK coaching position. Apply here before Saturday, August 10, 2019.
