What kinds of things have you guys done to get assistant coaches some extra money? i know the obvious ones are going to be the off-season weight room and summer camps. Has anyone tried anything else to get some extra money for coaches? I am looking for thiings that either ads a little money to all of the staffs pockets, but am also interested in things people have done to pay a salary for an additional coach. I know the other easy answer is a booster club, but they are forbidden by our school board, so that isn't an option either.

3) buy pitchers of beer. the only thing that works really well is #3. When I was coaching in college, I'd go grade film on a SATURDAY night for 4 or 5 hours---and our O-line coach just bought us a couple of cases. Free Beer + Football = ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Do you guys fundraise?
We have a couple of fundraisers a year, and some of that slides it way into the pocket of a volunteer assistant or to an under paid assistant.

Wait a second! That's an oxymoron! I did the math----I get paid like $0.08 an hour |

I am a paid assistant and if I see a unpaid assistant doing his job and putting in the extra effort I will split my check with him at the end of the year. It seems unfair that he gets nothing and I get something . But it's only after he has proven himself. If a guy wants to volunteer his time to make our team better and I think he is there for the kids then I will split 50 50.

Money is a huge deal with my program, we have very little. I learned a lesson to ask the question, "how much money does this program have in its athletic account" before I accept it. I took over this program money behind. Don't ask me how. So I have spent a ton of time trying to get ahead, so paying my coaches extra or voluteer coaches has been very difficult.
The things I try to do is supplement them in other ways. I try to take the little money we have and pay for clinics, I try to treat them to a meal when we get together, and like brophy said "BEER". I try to do some of the little things since we don't have a lot of money.
