does anyone have a set ratio by your school district on the number of coaches you can have based on the athlete to coach ratio??? Our district is looking into this and I want to here from anyone who has experienced this good or bad. What type of ratio are you using. Right now the numbers I keep hearing are 15:1

We don't have a set ratio and if there were there would be a few teams folding around here. I have seen a team with 1 coach and around 35 players - they unfortunately did fold and I think it was mainly because the coach got burned out.

I think our school district was a coach for every 10 kids. So if you had 60 kids out, you could get 6 coaches (counting the HC).

My varsity team has 32 players and I have 4 asst coaches in addition to myself. Our frosh and JV have similar numbers and have 3 paid coaches and 1 volunteer each. We do not use any ratio or similar formula- this is pretty much what we've had for the past 5-6 years.

The average over a 3 year period of coaches per player in the Indiana State finals (10 teams each year) is 8 to 1.
I have heard several speakers talk about an 10 to 12 to 1 ratio.

Our JV team has 13 players with 5 coaches lol good ratio there and it looks funny when the 5 varsity coaches come down on the sideline

The previous school I was in the principal told me it was 15 to 1. Not sure what it is where I now coach. We have the HC and 3 assistants for 36 kids. Not a bad ratio.
