How many o you know what is paid to your coach/coaches for the season ?
Do you pay into a required fund for the team or a monthly pay or how does the team do it?
how much do you think the coach should make for the time & effort of practices -meets - meetings required to run the team?
well obviously such a small squad won't generate a full time job.
Therefore it's better to evaluate if the coach is well reward for his efforts by bringing the salary on an hourly basis. A coach (a pro, meaning one that wants to make a living out of it) that is good at managing his time can find ways to set a full coaching schedule out of a few squads, web coaching, private coaching etc....
That I've never seen. There are usually expenses related to AG development (training camps, long distance traveling costs etc...) that need to be subsidize by the master program, rarely the other way around.
On top of that, very often, they take young swimmers with little or no coaching experience to coach masters. Or so is the case here up North in our province.
I come from a pretty small town, and have lived in small towns all my life. My general experience has been that if there is a "master's" group, it is make up of a couple "swim parents" who want something to do because they are already at the pool so much for their kid(s). If they get a few more outside people to join up they count themselves lucky.
By age group "subsidizing" a masters team, I almost more mean that without the age group team there is almost no chance that a masters team would ever be formed in this particular area.
