April 12, 2011 – The Coastal Nordic Ski Club (CNSC), a nonprofit organization located in southern Maine, is seeking a Head Coach for the Maine Coast Nordic (MCN) Ski Team. MCN currently has over 25 athletes representing several southern Maine towns and school systems. MCN has been training on a regular basis throughout last Summer, Fall & Winter under the previous MCN coach Jordi St.John.

The Maine Coast Nordic (MCN) Ski Team was formed in 2004 as a vehicle to support and encourage aspiring youth skiers in Southern Maine with year-round coaching and training opportunities supplemental to existing school programs. The position also includes oversight of our very successful Bill Koch Youth Ski League program from early January to mid-March. The BKYSL program had 90 skiers this past winter.

The MCN and Bill Koch programs in southern Maine have grown significantly over the last several years. This is a unique opportunity for a person with a strong Nordic skiing background to positively influence a wide range of highly motivated young athletes while also helping shape the program for the future.

Please email a letter of interest and resume by May 6th to Mike Pratico at mpratico@maine.rr.com.
