Depending on the program size, status, and location, salaries seem to vary across the board. Also, based on the coaches' status (are they otherwise employed? Just out of college/high school?), compensation will be commensurate with experience. I am the coach of a 30-member junior team in a rural location- it's our 2nd year in operation- and half of our kids are scholarship athletes. I have chosen to be a volunteer to get the program up and running, and because the demographic of the team would not be able to support a considerable raise in fees to compensate a paid coach. Plus, we need equipment more than I need to be paid!

But in other areas in metropolitan areas out here on the West Coast, program fees are considerably higher, allowing for coaching salaries upwards of $1500+/month. Of course, these are highly competitive clubs.

Good luck,

Ms. Dirth,

My name is J Kvale in Austin, Texas. We are going

through the same process right now at Austin Rowing

Club. Currently I spend 17-22 hours per work with the

Juniors Rowing program and receive $1000 per semester.

Very under-paid in my opinion. Our board of directors

is askin g for the same info so they can offer me and

our coaching staff better compensation.

Regards -

J Noel Kvale
