What Experience Is Needed To Become Athletic Director?

January 5, 2012 - 2:23 am 3 Comments

I want to become an athletic director so how do I start? I graduate next year with my Bachelor’s in Business and Sports Management. Should I coach this upcoming summer? Do I need to get a teacher certificate? I need some help so I can get started.

You should at least have some varsity level coaching experience, and preferably some coaching experience in more than one sport. If you want to be in a high school setting, you should have teaching credentials, probably in phys. ed. so that you are qualified to supervise all the sports activities. If you want to be AD in a college, you should still be a PE major but having teaching credentials would not be required. You would probably need even more coaching experience, I would guess.
