what kind of schooling does a sports announcer need?

Some people get lucky and go into sports announcing with no college degrees. However, it is a good idea to get a degree or experience of some sort to start off.\n\nGo into Media Broadcasting to begin with. As you narrow the field to being a sports announcer, look for internships that involve sports announcing, etc.

Getting into broadcasting is very tough now.  Especially with all of the "Mega owners" like Clear Channel having multiple stations in every market.  But if radio is something you would like to pursue, I can give you some tips.  \nFirst, we in the business prefer the term "Air Personality" or "Air Talent" instead of DJ.  A DJ is the guy that spins records in a smokey nightclub, or weddings. We, on the other hand, need to have a lot more skills.  \n\nYou will want to get some formal education, and training.  Most colleges have Communications programs... look into one.\n\nYou will need to start small.  Nobody starts at the top.  Also be ready for a lot of rejection.  For every ten tapes you send out to stations, you are lucky to get feedback from one of them.\n\nWhen you are starting out, you have to be ready to accept any offer that arises at a radio station.  You will not be starting out at a "Drive-Time" slot, more than likely, you will start off doing part-time fill-ins. \n\nRadio is a very fun field to work in.  When you start off you will not make much money.... But once you move up to larger markets, the pay will also get much better.\n\nI wish you well in your future career in radio.\nIf you ever have any questions you can feel free to email me.\nGood Luck!

You need to get experience, usually in the local Little League level or College level.  Then you go to Umpire school, umpire for a number of years in the minors, and if you are good, get promoted to the Major Leagues.

Talk to your old coach and let him know that you are interested in coaching.  He may have a spot for you wherever he is now or he may talk to someone else and tell them about you.  He will also be able to tell you what you need as far as your degree is concerned.  Good luck!

Law school would be a good start.  Preferably at a major sports institution that also offers an entertainment law program.  Then you can connect with some of the star athletes as they graduate with you.

It's more than enough to have a bachelor's degree. I have a degree in Spanish and I'm a professional English writer. You just have to find a way to publish some of your articles and prove yourself. After that, companies will call you all the time to write for them. \n\nIf you want to be a reporting journalist, then you might want to consider a master's degree.

Your best option would be a degree in Communications or Journalism.  Look for a four-year program from an accredited university, preferably one that will offer you a Co-op placement (where you work and get paid at a real magazine during the summer).  You'll also want to look for opportunities to showcase your writing skills, from writing for the local newspaper to publishing an intelligent blog.

There are two schools that you must attend to become a professional umpire.  They begin usually the fitsrt full week in January and go for 5 weeks.  They are both located in Florida.  One is the Harry Wendlestedt School and the other is Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring.  For college you should find a local high school or summer league association and branch out from there.  Most Junior Colleges use high school guys with experience.  The upper divisions usually use umpires that have attended pro school and didn't make it, or guys with lots of years and experience.

In many states you do not have to attend any particular school to become a coach.  You can be a lay-coach which is someone that has not attended a college or university and recieved a teaching certificate.  In many states you have to take a few classes, first aid, care and prevention of athletic injuries, theory of coaching, etc.  In order to become a coach.  Any university that offers a degree in education would work, but in many cases is not necessary.
