[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s just say you pay $2000 in club fees. That is used for fields coaches salary insurance etc

If you practice 3 times per week and have 1 game. That’s 6 hours of coaching, not including matches away, coaches travel, time they spend away from the field planning for training etc.

That 6 hours, let’s say 48 weeks.

You are essentially paying $6.90 per hour.

Lmao you math is flawed, to say the least. You used a kid’s fees... you might have wanted to say 
Divide $20,000 by 288 (6 hours x 48 weeks). Gives you $69 per hour. However, no coach works 48 weeks out 52 in the year. Probably neither do you as a burger flipper. Or maybe yes, cause that’s legal slavery but that’s another debate.

Back to our math, a coach will be involved with a team from late August to thanksgiving. If I counted right that’s roughly 14-15 weeks -> Fall season
Then you have your mid March to Memorial Day weekend. If I counted right at the top of my head that gives me 11 weeks, let’s put 12 if somehow the team has one more game in June.

So about a total of 25-26 weeks. 
26 weeks x 6 hrs per week = 156 hours of direct labor hands-on. 
Yeah, planning and sh1t outside means extra time but... aren’t they teachers? I don’t see teachers b1tching like that and they do real world and serious planning. Not throwing a couple of lines on a screen and a few cones on the grass. Get a grip

$20,000 / 156 = you’re looking at $128/hr.

You might just wanna get out that burger join and pick up a D or C license with USSF and ride the wave!

But i sincerely commend you for your  try though, Coach!

Where is $20,000 coming from no club fee in VA is above $2800 
Travel, hotel, tournament fees don’t go to the club.
