Coaching Clinics

[PickSix]

Coaches - do your schools pay for you to attend coaching Clinics? Hotel? Do they give you "line of duty" days, do you pay out of pocket or do your boosters help with cost?

 

Just getting a general idea how certain schools/counties do it. We constantly have to attend teaching strategies, avid strategies, etc. to further our teaching careers. I just don't understand why some counties wouldn't want their coaches to be up to par with strategies, injury prevention, etc.

In my experience some do and some don't.

had 1 school pay for clinics, had 1 school give me "official days off" for them too.  didnt have to use my own days to take.

another school, paid a per diem per day per coach for the clinics, but would not pay for the clinic, hotel, etc.. and we had to take our own personal days off.

i think it varies from AD to AD/School to school.  Can understand why a school wouldnt pay or give you the temp duty elsewhere day off.  if football does it, then all the sports get it too.  b4 you know it every sport is taking clinic days.

When I was AD-ing, the school's athletics department paid for one coaching clinic for each head coach per year (optional - if they didn't want to, didn't have to). Lodgings were on the coach - no PTO either.

Seems like everywhere is a little different, though.
