As a new club parent, I decided to get involved with our club and joined the board. It was recently asked if we should pay our club coaches for the work they put in for the kids. I am trying to find out what other clubs in the state do for this. We are running a elementary dual team program, and will open it up for a folkstyle program, and be followed by the freestyle program. We are looking to have one coach run all three sections. My questions are as follows, do you,
1- Pay your coach for these 3 seasons?
2- if so, how much ?
3- from where does the money come if you pay them, club, or school board ?
if you pay the coaches, I do not expect exact numbers, but a ball park would be nice, $ 500.00 per season, $ 1000.00 per year, something along those lines, or do you pay them more.
Thank you for any input on this topic as this has the board kind of split at the moment.
