Lynelle Mosley, WSSD, Director of Athletics & Activities, 6th to 12th grade
By Havenstatguys
How would you like to be responsible for sixty-seven sports teams involving at least 1,000 athletes, dozens of coaches, umpires, and referees? Schedules need to be set, facilities available for games and practices. Uniforms and equipment for each sport from baseball to bocce to ultimate Frisbee to ice hockey to track and field. Travel arrangements need to be made for all away games. Welcome to the world of the high school Athletic Director!
Who would be crazy enough to take on this job? Meet Strath Haven’s newest Athletic Director, Lynelle Mosley.
We sat down with Ms. Mosley in July in her office where the a/c had been shut off due to repairs (just another hurdle (pun intended) in her getting ready for the fall season).
Havenfootball.net – Welcome to Strath Haven. Tell us a bit about your background.
Mosley – I’ve been involved in all levels of coaching youth sports for many years. All the way from the youth sports and little league up to the college level in basketball. My experience in college sports, including some sports and game management, had prepared me for this new job. I’m also on the Board of Directors of the Lewis “Jumbo” Johnson Media Youth Center and have a degree in Public Administration.
Havenfootball.net – We should point out that the structure here has changed a bit in this department with your hiring.
