Hazlet Announces School Sports Coaches

Every year the Board of Education, in consultation with the superintendent and athletic director, approves the appointment of the district sports coaches. 

Here is a list of who is coaching at the Hazlet Middle School (HMS, enrollment 483) and Raritan High School (RHS, enrollment 1029) in 2012-2013. Generally, high school head coaches are paid between $8,500 and $9,000; assistant coaches $6,500 to $7,100. Volunteers are not paid. Hazlet Middle School coaches are generally paid between $3,347 to $3,851.

Nearly all of the staff remains in place from last year. But a vacancy on the HMS boys soccer team, formerly coached by Antonio Mosquera, will be filled by HMS Physical Education teacher Michael Connell, it was announced on August 13. The leadership of the Hazlet United Soccer Association made a special plea to the Board of Education at a recent meeting in favor of appointing someone with Connell's experience in youth soccer. 

On Thursday, Connell said, "I look forward to the start of the season. My eighth graders will be taking a leadership role with some advanced, and promising, seventh grade players." 

Also, the board approved the appointment of a third assistant to Head Coach Ron Poll on the Raritan High School soccer team. Anthony Vona, also the HMS Baseball Coach, was named. 

"We are confident that the recommendations of our administrative team provided us with the right people," said Superintendent Bernard Bragen.
