Some coaches conduct sports clinics during the summer. Other coaches, such as coaches for children's soccer teams, work only a few hours a week as a coach. They often have other jobs to support themselves. This wage was earned after about 22 years of experience. Coaches may also teach in other subject areas.
Wages vary according to training, experience, and location.
Coaches who work for universities earn more than those at other schools or recreation services. Pay varies by the area of the country, level of education, and certification. Full-time coaches who work in schools generally receive benefits. Common benefits are health insurance, sick leave, and a retirement plan. There were 6,020 people employed as sports and physical training instructors and coaches in Indiana in 1998.
