Billet Coordinator Wanted

by Tomas Kapusta

The San Diego Sabers are seeking a billet coordinator for the 2023-24 season. As many of the student-athletes come to the organization from outside of the San Diego area, the Billet Coordinator is a key position for the Sabers organization. This person helps ensure that our student-athletes and billet families have a positive experience throughout the season.

Responsibilities include:

  • Reporting to San Diego Sabers Head Coach Nick Perez & General Manager Domenick DiCicco.
  • Identifying and recruiting potential billet families throughout the summer and hockey season within the community.
  • Attending house visits to ensure potential homes meet team qualifications.
  • Serving as a resource to billet families during the season (approximately August – March) for questions or concerns. The Billet Coordinator will facilitate getting answers to questions and getting the appropriate Sabers staff member involved to resolve any issues that arise.
  • Monitoring student-athlete placement/matches including an initial check-in with each family and periodic check-in throughout the season which can be done in person, over the phone, or via email.
  • Assisting families in coordinating places for their student-athletes to stay if they need to be out of town. (Generally, other billet families will be willing to take a player for a short time so the Billet Coordinator can assist in identifying those homes.)
  • Notifying Sabers staff of any issues that you become aware of, including team rule violations, billet family concerns, player concerns, etc.
  • Ensuring all paperwork from the billet families is complete before the start of the season, including USPHL registration, SafeSport certification & background checks.
  • Maintaining a spreadsheet of all billet family contact information.
  • Helping Sabers team staff coordinate Billet Appreciation Night.

 Qualifications:

  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to multi-task
  • Ability to problem solve 

This is an incentive pay position. Two season tickets will also be provided to the Billet Coordinator.
