SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Coaching Salaries

How much is a normal soccer coach's supplement? Do coaches usually make more money at the larger programs? If anyone has any data on this it would be great.

I will "PM" you some info.

yeah, does anyone know the salaries of the high school coaches?

Different for each district. Those that are fortunate get peanuts. Those that are not get the shells...

The school district sets the stipend for each individual sport. For instance, every football coach in Greenville County gets the same amount from the District. Boys soccer will get a different amount than football and girls soccer will get a different amount than boys soccer.

Now, stipends differ from District to District (Greenville to Charleston, Lexington 1 to Lexington 2, etc).

Also, some Booster Clubs may be willing to throw in extra money to suplement what the District supplies.

Actually I mis-spoke. I believe "soccer" gets a stipend whether it's boys or girls. "Baseball" and "softball" get a different stipend than soccer, etc.

Do any districts pay by a percentage of the coach's teaching salary? I know there are some schools in Georgia that pay based on percentage; so when his/her teaching salary increases because of years worked, masters, etc, the coaching stipend also increases. This keeps more experienced teachers involved in athletics and other activities.

I wish.

Districts do increase coaching salaries according to years experience. The average increase is about $50 a year in my case.

In a percentage basis, my caching salary is about 1.5% of my teaching salary. Here in Charleston, classified employees are not allowed to coach b/c they were putting in for overtime. Because they are "classified" staff, they get overtime for anything over 40 hours a week.

Classified employees know exactly what they are getting in to just like certified emplyees. If classified emplyees are given overtime, on top of the coaching stipend, then so should certified teachers.

oops, forgot to carry the 1......

it's not 1.5%.... it's about 4%. . .
