44

5 coaches

3 varsity - school/county paid - 16 players
1 JV - booster club paid - 12 players
1 9th - booster club paid - 13 players

Varsity Team

2 Paid Coaches - 1 Volunteer (Keeps stats!)
18-20 Players

JV - 1 Paid Coach
14-16 Players

Freshmen - 1 Paid
20 Players

At our HS, the varsity and JV teams have a "together" practice time, where all five coaches work with all the players. Then, the teams split into their squads for the last half of practice. It works great, almost like a mini-spring training, and gets all the players on the same page. So, while there might be 35 players between the two teams, with five coaches, it works quite nicely.

Ours is exactly the same as CoachB25's.

Varsity - 18 players
2 coaches (county paid)

JV - 18 players
2 coaches (county paid)

1 volunteer coach- works with pitchers (both levels)

Varsity - 16 Players
1- Paid Coach
2- Volunteer (young teachers that want to get a paid coaching job)

JV - 16 Players
1- Paid Coach (Also pitching Coach)

Freshman - 15 players
1- Volunteer

Each group will have some players that float beteen levels based upon playing time. JV and Varsity practice together

Here in florida it is customary to have:
Varsity- 1 head coach-paid
1 assistant-paid
as many volunteers as the head coach can find and wants

JV 2 coaches-paid

Not many programs have a freshman team.

Varsity
1 Head coach (paid)
1 Pitching coach (paid)
1 assistant coach (volunteer-- used to be paid by booster club)
1 "special instructor" (volunteer-retired from head-coaching job)

JV
1 coach (paid; coaches both baseball and basketball no teaching work)

Freshman
1 coach (paid; coaches only baseball; works outside of school setting)

This is what it will look like this year. We only have one field so the Freshman are out of luck quite a bit. JV and Varsity practice together some, but not a whole lot.

Thanks, guys. I guess it is not so out of line for 4thGen's program to have 3 or 4 coaches at the varsity level, 1 JV coach and 1 freshmen coach. Since the freshmen and JV practice together they have 33 kids practicing with two coaches suprevising.

VARSITY
1 paid head coach (me)
3 assistants - all volunteers...but no parents
16-18 players max

JV
1 paid head coach
2 assistants - all volunteers...but no parents
13-15 players max

Freshmen
2 paid coaches -- they split the paycheck!
13-15 players max

***I can't pay my assistants - but I have a reputation of spending A LOT of money on them anyway (jackets, caps, clinics, etc.). I think it is extremely important for a coach to show his gratitude to his coaches - they can make or break a program...and mine are GREAT!
