COACHING STIPENDS

This is a small, catholic school in Pennsylvania:

Head Varsity- $3,700
2 Assistants- $2,200
2 Assistants- $1,300

Can you put a value on 25 years of coaching experience? The guy is probably underpaid, as it is. Along the south coast of Oregon, the stipends probably average something like:

Head Coach - $4,500
Assistant Coach - $3,800
Split stipend - $1,900

Thanks to great support from boosters clubs, schools are able to have decent sized staffs. It is rare that a district pays the entire amount. In some cases, the coaches on staff have even paid "X" amount each out of their stipend to buy an additional staff person.

If you want to talk about pay by the hour, that's another matter. Figure that the average coach makes about $1.30 an hour. No great way to get rich, eh?
