Outlook

Demand for coaches and scouts will be good as high schools add new sports teams. Many smaller colleges are also adding new sports teams. Growing interest in sports scholarships for college and professional sports will increase the demand for scouts.

Competition will be strongest at large universities and at the professional level. However, there is more opportunity at small colleges and high schools, especially for women's team coaches. At the high school level, job prospects will be best for people certified to teach.
