Dirty River Roller Derby is looking for coaches for the season 2019!

DRRD has two teams, and in 2019 the A team Föri Fighters will play in the Finnish National League (SM-sarja) and WFTDA sanctioned games both in Finland and in Europe. The B team Åbo B-ajs will be playing bouts and scrimmages against opponents on a similar skill level.

You can apply to do different coach tasks that suit you the best – you can for example bench coach, plan and run practices, or run a bootcamp. We are looking for different persons with different strengths and interests.

You can apply by sending an email to treenit.drrg@gmail.com. Tell us about yourself, about your roller derby and/or other sport experience/knowledge, what kind of coach you would be, and how you would be able to commit to the coaching of the team(s). Mention also whether you would like to coach both our A or B teams or just one of them. We also expect you to read and commit to our values.

You can apply until 31.12.2018!

Our B team Åbo B-ajs is looking for opponents for games and scrimmages this autumn. B-ajs is our recently re-founded B team with a diverse group of players: many have skated for years but some have not played a game yet. Åbo B-ajs would like to play teams who are on a similar level.

Valmentajia haussa ensi kaudelle – oletko se sinä?

Seuramme Dirty River Roller Derby etsii edustusjoukkueilleen valmentajia kaudelle 2018-2019. Dirty River Roller Derbyssä on kaksi joukkuetta, jotka edustavat seuraa. A-joukkue Föri Fighters pelaa tulevalla kaudella SM-sarjaa ja WFTDA-sanktioituja pelejä kotimaassa ja ulkomailla. B-joukkue Åbo B-ajs on uusi, keväällä 2018 uudelleen perustettu joukkue, joka etsii tasoisiaan vastustajia Suomesta ja mahdollisesti ulkomailta.

Joukkueiden valmennukseen toivotaan useampia valmentajia, jotka jakavat valmentamiseen liittyvät vastuut sekä tehtävät yhdessä valmennustiimin ja joukkueiden kapteenien kesken. Valmentajien tehtäviin voi kuulua esimerkiksi peleissä penkkivalmentajana toimiminen, treenien ajoittainen suunnittelu ja vetäminen sekä sitoutuminen joukkueiden tavoitteiden edistämiseen. Tehtävät sovelletaan henkilön kiinnostuksen kohteiden, resurssien ja joukkueiden tarpeiden mukaan.

Toivomme hakemuksia erilaisilta valmentajaehdokkailta. Otamme huomioon hakemukset myös vain syyskaudeksi, yksittäisiin peleihin tai turnauksiin tai kertaluonteisesti vaikkapa bootcampin muodossa. Laita rohkeasti hakemus tulemaan, niin katsotaan yhdessä, mitä juuri sinulla voisi olla annettavana meille ja meillä sinulle!

Pyydämme vapaamuotoiset hakemukset osoitteeseen treenit.drrg@gmail.com. Kerro hakemuksessasi esimerkiksi urheilu- ja/tai roller derby -taustastasi, millainen tyyppi olisit valmentajana ja minkälaiset resurssit sinulla olisi sitoutua joukkueiden/joukkueen valmennukseen. Mainitse myös, mikäli olet kiinnostunut vain A- tai B-joukkueen valmennuksesta. Käythän myös tutustumassa seuramme arvoihin.

Haku on auki 25.7.2018 asti!
