[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not for football or other large roster programs but smaller teams like lacrosse or volleyball. What is the range? [/quote]

FCPS lacrosse coaches make around $5K a season and Volleyball around $6500 for the season.  This doesn’t include end of year team gifts which I imagine add up to another $500-$1000.

IMHO, it’s enough money to expect really good coaches not mediocre ones. I always hate the rhetoric that they don’t get paid a lot so you can’t expect much.  Yes, I can and do expect more of them regardless of how much they make.  [/quote]

This is ill-informed.  The relevant figures are: 1) how much total stipend money per sport is allocated for a given school, and 2) the size of the coaching staff.  Girls Volleyball is allocated about $15K per school, so it covers the entire coaching staff.  With a sport like GVB with three levels (V/JV/F), you are talking about a minimum of three head coaches, and at most good programs at least three assistant coaches.  While $6500 might be the [i]maximum[/i] stipend a Varsity GVB head coach may receive, more often than not, a significant chunk of that is allocated to other members of the staff.  Plus, all stipend figures that are floating out there are before taxes.

I agree that you should expect a lot from FCPS coaches regardless of the stipend.  But when you compare the FCPS stipends to what Loudoun County for example provides its coaches, it should not be a huge surprise to see more high quality coaches migrating away from FCPS to other jurisdictions over the coming years.[/quote]
