Coaches and Scouts Classes

Coaches teach beginners and professional athletes the skills needed to succeed at their individual sport. They motivate their players as well as host practices and drills to build the athlete’s stamina and skill. Scouts (and some Coaches) search for new players for an organization or team, evaluating athletes’ strengths and weaknesses to fit a specific program. If you are interested in more information on a career as a Coach or a Scout, simply choose a school below and request information on financial aid, tuition costs, course offerings, and much more.

Is A Career as a Coach or Scout Right For Me?

Coaches and scouts must have immense knowledge of the game. Normally they have their own experience with playing that specific sport at some level, but that is not always the case. Although some careers require a bachelor’s degree, some entry-level coaching positions require solely experience as an athlete or competitor in the sport. Scouting jobs often require experience playing a sport at the college or professional level, which makes it possible to locate young talent.

Employment is on the rise for Coaches and Scouts, expecting to rise 29% by the year 2020. Population growth is expected to lead to more schools, and more schools should result in more jobs for coaches and instructors. In colleges, most of the expansion is expected to be in women’s sports.

As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the lowest 10% earned less than $16,380, and the top 10% earned more than $63,720. The average annual wages in industries employing the largest numbers of coaches and scouts were as follows:

Colleges, universities, and professional schools $39,750
Fitness and recreational sports centers $28,850
Other schools and instruction $25,150
Elementary and secondary schools $22,670
