[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not hard to calculate.

Look at your club fees - do not include specific additions for tournament costs.  Your coach gets about half of those fees.  The rest goes to admin costs, equipment costs, field rental, etc.  if you are paying $3,000 for the year the coach gets $1,500.  Have 15 kids on the team?  Great.  The coach gets $22,500.  It works to about $20 an hour - maybe less.

This is why I laugh at all the posts saying travel sports are a money making racket, coaches/teams just raking it in. My son desperately wants coach for a living, or at least do something related to his sport (like run one of the training centers). But it’s a hardscrabble way to make a living, and unless you own a very successful company you don’t make a living wage, let alone a comfortable middle class income. He’s watched his training facility go under this fall, and it’s sobering.[/quote]

The TDs, not the coaches are who is raking it in.  The poor coaches aren't making much.  Alexandria's TD was making $350k/year.  [/quote]
