I agree that you have to look at fees and the time.  It is a part time job - practice will be 3-4 hours a week, meets are 3 hours and most leagues have 2 a week. With other activities you are talking about 25 hours a week for 9 weeks. So they are making about $45 an hour. If that was a full time job it would be over 90K.  So that is a good salary.  And a great supplement if you are a teacher.

But if you have a head coach (10K), asst coach (5K) and junior coaches, you might be looking at 20K in coaching fees.  That would take 133 kids with a $150 registration fee to cover.  And that means the team has no money to do anything else or pay for anything without fundraising.[/quote]

Ours charges $125 or $150 and we are on the low end of paying coaches and only have 2 coaches, maybe 3, and the other two are teens and each is paid a few thousand each.  Makes me wonder where all the money is going with over 200 kids.[/quote]
I’m a Team Rep for an NVSL team. the expenses add up quickly: nvsl dues (probably over $1K for a team that size), b meet ribbons and supplies, pep rally supplies, t shirts, trophies, swimtopia license, misc equipment, etc. it’s a shoe string budget given the low fees. Teams typically need supplemental income (eg sponsorship) to pay more competitive salaries. [/quote]
