in Missouri do assistant coaches have to be teachers....or does it matter... can a coach be like a sub. or have their associates, working on getting their teaching degree???
 
Just need 60 hours to be an assistant as long as the school approves of it.
 
Check with DESE or MHSAA. I believe with the attendance of a coaching class and a sports medicine class (and passing the test for both),a district may use a non-teaching person for the sole duties of coaching. These classes cost about $80.00 each and district policy determines who pays for them. The test are from American Sport Education Program. Of course, it is up to the district to do all the backround/security checks and to determine if the individual is competent to coach the sport.
