Strength & Conditioning Coach Wanted: Build Your Legacy With Us
At Evolve Football Academy, we’re transforming how young players grow—technically, tactically, and now physically. Known for developing Academy-level technical players, we’re expanding into Strength & Conditioning to ensure our athletes develop the strength, speed, and resilience to compete at the highest level.
This is where YOU come in.
We’re looking for a passionate and ambitious Strength & Conditioning Coach to lead the way in building our first-ever in-house S&C program. If you’re excited about creating something from the ground up, helping young athletes develop their physical edge, and becoming a key part of our academy’s growth, this is your chance.
What You’ll Lead: Our Structured S&C Vision
At Evolve, we follow a progressive pathway rooted in the development of movement skills, performance capacities, and competitive readiness. You’ll take charge of guiding players through these critical phases:
Phase 1:
6-10: Learn to Move
Develop fundamental movement skills, agility, balance, and coordination. To lay the foundation for skill acquisition and engage players in a positive process.
Phase 2:
10-13: Learn to Train
Bridge the gap between movement skills and enhanced physical capacities for performance.
To refine motor control, build athletic ability, and prepare for greater demands.
Phase 3:
13+: Train to Compete
Introduce a comprehensive S&C structure, incorporating progressive overload and sport-specific goals. To optimise performance, develop resilience, and prepare for competitive environments.
Your leadership will ensure these principles are implemented seamlessly, creating a development system that helps every player thrive.
What’s in it for YOU?
* Build & Lead the Program: You’ll design and implement the academy’s first S&C program, leaving a lasting legacy.
* Coach Hungry Athletes: Work with motivated players eager to improve their game and physical edge.
* Be Part of Something Bigger: Join a team that’s redefining youth football development by combining top tier technical and physical training.
* Grow Your Career: Mentorship, resources, and opportunities to develop your skills are all part of the package.
Who You Are : The Ideal Candidate for Evolve Football Academy
* 2nd or 3rd Year Student (or recent graduate) in Strength & Conditioning, Sports Science, or a related field.
* Working Toward a Master’s Degree: Ambitious, eager to deepen your expertise.
* In Your Early 20s: Ready to bring fresh energy, ideas, and commitment to a dynamic environment.
* Passionate about football and youth development.
* Knowledgeable in youth S&C principles, including injury prevention, physical literacy, and age-appropriate programming.
* Excited to lead and innovate, taking ownership of a critical part of our academy’s development.
What You’ll Earn
We believe in rewarding performance, and this role is no exception. Here’s what you can expect:
* Base Pay: A competitive starting hourly rate for your expertise and dedication.
* Growth Potential: As we build and stabilise the program, your compensation will grow. When you help us scale the academy, you share in the success.
* Bonuses & Incentives: Deliver measurable results and lead with excellence, and you’ll earn bonuses tied to the program’s success.
We’re building something BIG at Evolve, and we want someone who sees the long game. If you’re focused on immediate cash over creating impact and growing your career, this role isn’t for you. But if you want to be part of professional academy, where your work will truly matter, this is the place for you.
Important Details: Focus & Exclusivity
This will over time lead to a contracted employment role, designed for someone ready to fully dedicate themselves to building something special with us.
To maintain the quality and focus we demand for our players, this role will require your exclusive attention once we are out of the "stabilise phase" of this exciting project—meaning at that point you’ll only work with Evolve Football Academy athletes.
Why? Because we want YOU to thrive, grow, and make this program the best it can be. No distractions. Just one clear mission: to build the most comprehensive football development academy in the region.
How to Apply:
Please include the following in your cover letter, along with your CV:
* A brief introduction about yourself and why you’re the perfect fit for this role.
