I'm thinking about working in or around high school sports in NYC and want to know where I might find job listings or contacts. Are there specific websites or networks for this kind of work?
There are indeed several resources that can guide you in your search for jobs in and around high school sports in NYC.
You might want to begin with public schools run by the New York City Department of Education. You can directly visit their webpage and follow their career section, where you can search specifically for sports-related positions.
The Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) is another good avenue to explore. The PSAL is a governing body for high school sports in NYC public schools, and they occasionally have job postings for various coaching positions and sports-related roles.
Also, consider private high schools and charter schools, as they often have athletic departments looking for coaches and athletic department assistants. Schools post these job openings on their websites, so try visiting the career pages of the high schools in your area.
One more approach is to network and make connections with professionals within the field. Consider attending sports events and local meetings, where you can meet and interact with those in the business. Social media platforms like LinkedIn can also be a valuable tool for networking and job searching.
Remember, job hunting can be a time-consuming process, so be patient and persistent in your efforts. Wishing you the best of luck in your search!
