POSITION SUMMARY

 

In service to our student athletes, Penn Charter is looking for reliable, energetic and enthusiastic individuals to join our ever-growing athletic(s) programs as a strength and conditioning intern. It is the expectation that all Penn Charter strength and conditioning interns embody the mission and philosophy of the School. Penn Charter strength and conditioning interns always demonstrate a primary focus on sportsmanship, model commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and demonstrate self-awareness in all interactions and relationships. In addition to working closely and compassionately with students, strength and conditioning interns will work collaboratively with other members of the athletic department, faculty, and staff while under primary supervision of the strength and conditioning coaches. Applicants should be working toward a degree, or hold an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Physical Education, or another related field and be working towards an accredited certification (CSCS or SCCC).

 

The goal of the Penn Charter strength and conditioning department is to provide interns with a well-rounded experience incorporating all aspects of strength and conditioning and William Penn Charter School values into the curriculum. Interns will assist the strength and conditioning coaches in implementing all after school strength and conditioning programs with the current in-season term sports and off season groups. In addition, interns will be taught the fundamentals of program design and yearly planning through the weekly classroom educational meetings. An emphasis will be placed upon the professional development of each intern in an effort to prepare them for a career as a strength and conditioning coach. Familiarity with the principles and practices of the Religious Society of Friends is also highly desirable.

 

We offer two types of internships. The 16-week internship (Winter/Spring and Fall/Winter terms) is available twice per year. This includes the full internship curriculum and works with all current in-season sports for the respected term. The 8-week internship (Summer term) is available once per year.  This includes a condensed version of the internship curriculum compared to the 16-week internship and works primarily with football and open lift times that are available to all student-athletes interested in training over the summer.  Dates for the internships are listed above.
