How many Sophomore coaches does your team have? We have three paid coaches and peak at 45 players. We have tried to get volunteer help, but it has been hard to find someone that is reliable...or end up reassigned to help with the 80 players freshman team  Suggestions? |

We only have three paid coaches on the entire staff- varsity through freshmen. We have 10 total coaches on staff, but 6 are volunteers that get just a little money from fundraisers and stuff.
Our sophs practice with us and there's about 20 of them, but there are officially only 2 "sophomore" coaches.
Don't know if I can help you. I'm kind of used to only having 4 coaches for an entire program of 70+ kids, so it seems to me like you have a bunch of caches there with 3.

I go 5 varsity paid, 3 sophomore paid, and 4 frosh paid. Then I will take volunteers and put them where needed.
Whatever works!! I have gone only 2 paid on the sophs and 5 on frosh.

We are the same as larrymoe. 2 guys with the sophomores - of course those 2 guys are also with the Freshmen team. We don't have the enormous number of coaches that some schools with a Power Plant have - , but we are getting by. I have changed practice this year to the point that we keep the entire team with us until the last 20 minutes or so when we go to team offense/defense. |

You actually have more school paid coaches than we do though. Think about that one for a while and let me know how that works out. |

I guess now that I read the first post- only 3!! You need to start wielding your incredible influence. Just tell them that you will be forced to bring in a certain sleeveless coach to put a beat down on them unless they start opening up the wallets. |

We have 6 under our contract, but due to the money cuts of a few years ago they only pay us three right now. Our contract is up next year and in talking to a board member there is a great possibility we'll go back up to at least 4 or 5 paid.
And you can keep the sleeveless one forever. I don't need anyone constantly exposing my inadequecies as a coach.

Larrymoe- could you split your paid position in half creating 6 paid postions? That seems like the logical thing to do!!!! Besides, if coaches are in it for the money, do you really want them around anyway? As if there was a lot of money to be had anyway, lol.

We're splitting two stipends into 3 and supplementing it with our fundraising money. Right now the district is only paying a HC and two assistants. It's the HC, me and another teacher that are getting paid. Me and the other teacher are splitting our stipends to pay a fourth. Everyone else just gets what we can get through fundraising.

I think that you're on the correct path. Fundraise fundraise fundraise. I have some decent ideas if you're up to hearing them. IM me!!! |
