What do coaches get paid

I have been asked to coach a team in Big V next season and was wondering what the min or max would be for a new coach who has had experiance before. I am being told that should be between $5000.00 to $10000.00 depending on the league etc.
Can anyone let me know what to expect or if they know what some of the others coaches get in Championship,D1 and D2.

Basketball coaches in Australia rarely get paid what they are worth Newbee, converseley in the USA or Euro they sometimes are overpaid from what I have read.

Of course that would be at a higher level than Big V I would suggest.

Regardless, if you can get a $5k+ figure for coaching Big V I would say grab it, good luck...

Must have had a win in their latest EBA discussions...

I know most of the D1 coaches in Big V are at least $5000.00 + and a few are at the 9-10,000.00 mark dont think you would want to coach in that league for any less.
Championship are all closer to 10k

Country team coaches get a bit more for the extra hours travel they do, the Seahawks , Supercats , Enegy,Gators and the Mildura Heat coaches would all be on good coin from what I hear.

I play in Div 1 , we all know that our coach gets $8000.00 a year and we think he deserves the money for the time he puts in and this is for a Melbourne based team.

$10K for Big V is good. Some SEABL Head Coaches start at $10K and finish around $15K - particularly regional clubs who struggle with sponsorship deals (competing against football clubs). Many Assistant Coaches are not paid at all. Clubs incomes vary greatly eg. Ballarat make money off their bar, restaurant, kiosk etc and have previously employed a full time Head Coach/Development Coach. Supercats make no money from the Arena kiosk or bar so would be pushed to be paying their staff or players as well as people who are not associated with the club would believe

I thought I remembered hearing a while ago the WHOLE CABL salary cap was $10 grand? As in mens and womens team combined for player payments, if that is still true then we are a LONG way off the mark..

VC fan, a lot closer to your guess than previous Vic posts (for CABL, I mean)

All clubs are different, regional v metro doesn't change a whole lot. It's always about the clubs priority as well as their revenue stream. Somewhere like Warnambool may not have the greatest revenue stream coming in as they don't have the largest domestic competition. Energy would have no revenue stream as they are a regional club and don't actually have a domestic competition to help raise income. They have 6 VJBL teams + 2 BigV and that's all the club exists of. Mildura would have a fairly decent income (obvious by having 3 imports who are all high quality) but they also have a really solid junior and domestic base. Would be surprising if Geelong BigV paid their coaches much considering the amount of $$ that would be pumped into SEABL.

I think there are too many people who coach for the $$ and not enough that coach because they love it. Would be amazed at how many coaches would agree to coach as a volunteer! How about a volunteer that then forks money out of their own pocket for travel, uniform etc

A few posts in this topic from the same IP, specifically mentioning prices. Someone trying to talk up their price with fake facts? Newbee, TMG, Rays, Hoopman.
