CALL FOR COACHES
Harbor Light Swordsmen sports teams have thrived since the beginning of the school with amazing Christian role models who have volunteered as coaches for our students. We have a couple opportunities opening up at HLCS coming up this spring and next fall!
Our softball coach, Kurt Brushaber has decided his coaching experience would come to an end with his daughter graduating last year. Also, our soccer program, which has been a staple in HLCS athletics since the inception of the school, fizzled out a couple of years ago with a lack of interest. However, after speaking to our upcoming students, we appear to have a great deal of kids interested in soccer again! This will require a coach to facilitate reviving the program.
If either of these are a place you would enjoy investing your time, please contact our athletic director, Shelda Blair at sblair@harborlight.org.
