...just sharing, folks.   It's always a good idea to know what you are worth relative to the prevailing market price.

At least 36 hs coaches in GA make $100k or more per year...the video shows individual salaries.

"Legal" booster club bonuses.  In another post someone asked where a coach might get money to pay a kid to transfer...Below is a fairly recent case involving an Atlanta hs where parents were shocked to find out about the practice of bonuses.   Am not implying these folks are guilty of recruiting anyone..just trying to show the interesting ways money is available for good and not-so-good purposes.

This is not a new issue, but may be for some of you.  A couple years ago there was talk of powerhouse Bellevue Washington's coach receiving $60k from the booster club.  The Booster Club Prez was a former Microsoft CFO.  Think he might a few bucks to play around with for his favorite football team?

No agenda for mentioning this, just found it interesting.

At 1:08 in the newscast video of the third link above, the name on the check is Kareem Reid.  He took over as head coach at Westlake High in 2016 after serving as head coach for a few years at Coconut Creek.  In his last season at CC, Reid had 3 US Army Americans on that team.  Wide receiver Binjimen Victor, cornerback Malek Young and cornerback Trayvon Mullen

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
