Price of a Coach 2019

[magpiemaster]

Hi, I’m working with a local footy club. We have been lucky enough to have the same coach for the last 10 years. Many things have changed the landscape over that time. We are trying to gain an understanding of how much we need to be prepared to spend to get a coach. We have had many applicants to the position and they all expect remuneration. Is there a base figure you would suggest for a decent league in the country? What prices have you heard others on?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Local or non local?

Playing or non playing!?

I’d think most country coaches would be on 8-10k

I know some Hills clubs are paying up and over 20k now for their coaches. That works out to just under $600 a week across the season (If you estimate the season to be 34 weeks- 12 of preseason, 22 of games). It's a full time job coaching now.

What league are you talking about? Depending on where you are coaching I guess.

Looking at Local and non local. Most people I have spoken to said about 20k. I guess they start their work in dec. 3 days a week for about 6 months and a few months pre season. Probably worth every bit of 20k. The league is One if Hills, Barossa or Southern. So a solid league.

Know for a fact that there are multiple playing coaches in the Barossa getting around $30K.

Personally I just cant see how a playing coach can work. Captaining cricket whilst also worrying about own performance is hard enough, I couldn't imagine how football/playing coaches do it.

Is there many cases of playing/coaching winning premierships. My experience has been that it is very rare but happy to be wrong.

in recent times:
Luke Slattery - Crystal Brook
Liam Whitwell - BSR
Todd Miles/Alan Obst - Barossa
I'd say that you'd need a quality assistant coach sitting on the bench during the game.

You mean the real coach sitting on the sidelines. Player coaches in a lot of cases at the moment are just an easy way to get around salary cap rules as you only need to put $350 a week into the salary cap.

There's a few playing assistant coaches on $30K as well isn't there??
