Sobrato high seeking coaches
New Sobrato High Athletic Director Dennis Martin is looking for coaches for all sports to be offered at the new high school.
According to Martin, Sobrato plans to offer the same sports as Live Oak offers, with the exception that the Bulldogs will compete at the junior varsity level.
Martin said Sobrato is especially in need of coaches for fall sports programs, including football, boys and girls water polo, boys and girls cross-country, girls field hockey, girls volleyball, girls tennis and girls golf.
But Martin added that he will accept coaching inquiries for all sports.
Martin said Sobrato plans to begin competing in sports at the high school level in Fall 2004.
Of course, Sobrato’s ability to compete in all those sports will depend on the level of student participation.
