Mercersburg Academy is engaged in a search for an educator/head football coach who will sustain a 8-player football program and who will be a positive contributor to our school community. Mercersburg moved to 8-player football in Fall 2019. 8-player football provides the same experience for athletes as 11-player football, with three fewer players on the field. Mercersburg competes in the Keystone State Football League, based out of the Philadelphia area.
Mercersburg Academy is a private, college-prep boarding school located in south-central Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from the Baltimore/Washington DC metro area. The school’s Mission and Core Values guide our vision and direction. Founder Dr. William Mann Irvine’s motto of Hard Work, Fair Play, Clean Life is the foundation of our athletic Core Principles.
The head football coach creates and sustains a vision that embodies the purpose and the goals of athletics at Mercersburg. The primary focus for every coach at Mercersburg is to provide a transformative experience for every participant in their program, regardless of level of play or area of contribution.
Applicants should possess experience at playing and coaching on the high school level-junior varsity, varsity, or both, as a minimum. Previous experience in coaching football is required, but previous experience in 8-player football is not required.
