Head Girls Basketball Coach
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Payroll/Personnel Type: Head Coach
- Job #: xxx
- Supervisor Director of Athletics Union Eligibility: Non-Union Starting Salary/Stipend Stipend
- JOB GOAL: ... (description)
- General ... (some prose)
- Duties And Responsibilities (list of duties)

- Public Relations (list)
- Disclaimer (legal boilerplate) - remove
- Applications will be accepted ... - remove
- Interested candidates should apply online ... - remove
- Dr. James L Henderson ... - remove
- EOE/AA/D/V - remove
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from JOB GOAL and General?), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine?), Skills (maybe from qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting mentions Starting Salary/Stipend Stipend but no actual amount; it's just "Stipend". That's not specific; we should not create Pay section if not specific. Similarly Schedule not given. Benefits not given. So we should omit those sections.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:
- About the role (maybe combine JOB GOAL and General description)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (maybe qualifications)
- Skills (maybe from qualifications? but we could combine qualifications and skills; but we need to decide. The posting includes qualifications: Certified Teacher and/or ASEP Certification, CPR/AED Certification, ability to organize..., previous successful coaching experience, substantial knowledge, role model. Also REPORTS TO and SUPERVISES could be part of responsibilities or qualifications. We'll treat REPORTS TO and SUPERVISES as part of Responsibilities maybe.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to remove boilerplate: Disclaimer, EEO, application instructions, etc.
We need to keep the JOB GOAL text, General paragraph, Duties And Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), REPORTS TO, SUPERVISES, Finance And Equipment, Public Relations.
We need to decide how to structure.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes JOB GOAL and General paragraph (maybe combined). Could be two paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: includes Duties And Responsibilities (list), plus maybe REPORTS TO and SUPERVISES? But those are more about reporting lines; could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Reporting". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put REPORTS TO and SUPERVISES under Responsibilities as prose.
- Requirements: maybe includes certifications? But we have Qualifications heading allowed. Could use Qualifications for certifications and experience. Requirements could be something else? The posting doesn't have separate "Requirements" besides qualifications. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we need to follow headings: we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if we have content. However we might not have distinct content for Requirements; we could omit Requirements if no specific content besides qualifications. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could put qualifications under Qualifications heading, and maybe Requirements could be empty? But we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not include Requirements if we don't have specific content for it. So we will omit Requirements.
- Skills: we could extract skills from qualifications: ability to organize and supervise, knowledge of technical aspects, continue to examine new theories, role model, etc. Could be placed under Skills.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present specific content, so omit.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Public Relations" and "Finance And Equipment" could be part of Responsibilities or separate sections but we don't have headings for those. We could incorporate them into Responsibilities as sub-items.
We need to preserve all substantive info, so we need to include the details from Finance And Equipment and Public Relations somewhere. We can include them under Responsibilities as additional bullet points.
Thus Responsibilities will be a long list covering:
- Has knowledge of existing system, state and league regulations; implements same consistently and interprets them for staff.
- Understands the proper administrative line of command and refers all requests or grievances through proper channels.
- Is aware of all public/staff/departmental meetings that require attendance.

Maintains discipline, adjusts grievances and works to increase morale and cooperation. Performs such other duties which may be assigned by the athletic director/principal.

Provides proper safeguards for maintenance and protection of assigned equipment sites. Advises the athletic director and recommends policy, method or procedural changes.
- Student Responsibilities: Serves as a mentor to each athlete to promote the development and demonstration in student athletes the character traits of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Gives constant attention to a student athlete's grades and conduct. By his/her presence at all practices games and while traveling, provides assistance, guidance and safeguards for each participant. Provides training rules and any other unique regulations of the sport to each athlete who is considered a participant. Initiates programs and policies concerning injuries, medical attention and emergencies. Completes paperwork on all disabling athletic injuries on proper forms and submits to athletic office within 24 hours. Directs student managers, assistants and statisticians. Determines discipline, delineates procedures concerning due process when the enforcement of discipline is necessary and contracts parents when a student is dropped or becomes ineligible. Assists athletes in their college or advanced educational selection.
- Finance And Equipment: Participates in the budgeting function with the athletic director by establishing requirements for the next season. Recommends equipment guidelines as to type, style, color or technical specifications. Is responsible for operating within budget appropriations. Is accountable for all equipment and collects the cost of any equipment lost or not returned. Arranges for issuing, storing and reconditioning of equipment and submits annual inventory and current records concerning same. Properly marks and identifies all equipment before issuing or storing.

Examines locker rooms before and after practices and games, checking on general cleanliness of the facility. Responsible for cleanliness and maintenance of specific sport equipment. Secures all doors, lights, windows and locks before leaving building if custodians are not on duty. Instills in each player a respect for equipment and school property, its care and proper use.

Promotes the sport within the school through recruiting athletes who are not in another sports program and promotes the sport outside the school through news media, little league programs, or in any other feasible manner. Responsible for the quality, effectiveness and validity of any oral or written release to local media. Responsible for maintaining good public relations with news media, booster club, parents, officials, volunteers and fans. Presents information to news media concerning schedules, tournaments and results.
Also REPORTS TO: The athletic director, who provides overall objectives and final evaluation in conjunction with the high school principals. SUPERVISES: In several instances, the head coach must advise, coordinate and support a staff of high school assistant coaches and middle school coaches in conjunction with the athletic director and respective principal.
We could include REPORTS TO and SUPERVISES as bullet points under Responsibilities.
Now Qualifications: Certified Teacher and/or ASEP Certification, CPR/AED Certification, Has the ability to organize and supervise a total sports program. Has previous successful coaching experience in assigned sport. (Major sports) The head coach must have substantial knowledge of the technical aspects of the sport and, at the same time, must continue to examine new theories and procedures pertinent to the field. The head coach must serve as an appropriate role model for student athletes through his/her instructions and actions.
We could split Qualifications into certifications and experience/knowledge.
Skills: maybe ability to organize and supervise, knowledge of technical aspects, continue to examine new theories, role model, etc. But we already have those in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could treat Qualifications as certifications and experience, and Skills as abilities like organization, supervision, knowledge, role model. However the posting includes those as qualifications. We need to preserve all info; we can put them under Qualifications and not have Skills section if we don't have distinct skills beyond those. But we could still have Skills section with those abilities; but that would duplicate content. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but might be considered redundant. Better to avoid duplication. So we can put all qualification-related content under Qualifications heading, and omit Skills if we don't have distinct skills beyond that. However we need to decide if we have any content for Skills separate from Qualifications. The posting does not have a separate skills list; it's embedded in qualifications. So we can omit Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't include empty headings.
Now format:
