actually, the deetroit league would be good for you as neither of you can spell...or you can search through the private leagues when signing up for a team...\n-nny

Short answer....referee for a looooooooong time.\n\nLonger answer.  You have to work your way up.  If you are really serious, look around for your local youth football program and get on as a ref.  Most of them are hurting for them and many offer pay (however, in most cases you will need to insure yourself so this may offset your pay).  Do this long enough and you can perhaps get on as a high school ref.  Work your way up from there.  Remember, however, refs don't make a whole lot of money.  Many of the NFL refs have professions outside of the NFL.  There are many lawyers and there is one PGA golf pro as well.

Depends if your good enough, if you are young enough try and qualify through various schools.. idid it. and i am still playing semi pro 15 years later when i was first scouted .\n\nBELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Criminal justice is always a good bet if you want to go on to law school, but a lot of the top schools like people with diverse interests...and the things you learn in criminal justice wouldn't apply particularly well to being a sports agent.\nPhilosophy, English, History, Politcal Science, and Sociology would all be good, if you're interested in them. The reading and research load you'll have in these classes will be very helpful in law school someday! \nAlso, take a wide variety of classes when you're in college, not just the degree requirements. Pursue any random interest you have, and make yourself as interesting as possible :)

You have to probably played the game, at least in college. Then you have to get a degree in something like kineseology, and be a high school asst coach. If that coach is really successful he'll go up to college, and probably want to take his assistants with him. That means you could coordinate in college or possibly take over coaching the high school. Either way you have to be successful enough for another college to wish to hire you as head coach. Afterwards you have to be a very successful college coach, and get the attention of an NFL coach or general manager. After that you can be brought up to assist whatever coach, and if you do well in that aspect of the game you might get an offer in a few years from a bad team to be the head coach.

If you have been playing football for teams, such as your school team and local kids clubs, and haven't been approached by a club by the time you are 20 then the chances are that you are simply not good enough to play professional football.\n\nOf course, there are always examples of players who somehow escaped the "scouting net", in which case you could put together a "CV" detailing your achievements (some agents use videos, particularly when trying to sell a foreign player to a team) and send it to clubs directly. I wouldn't hold out much hope of a positive response though.\n\nProbably the best thing you can do is to join an amateur team at the highest level you can, enjoy playing, and keep hoping that you will be spotted by a visiting scout.

The best route would maybe be to contact your local club and volunteer your services whilst simultaneously taking some FA coaching courses (the higher the level you achieve, the more work opportunities that will be available to you). Without any coaching certificates you may find it very hard to get past the basic coaching level.\n\nFA Coaching courses do cost money though.\n\nhttp://www.thefa.com/GrassrootsNew/FALearning/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2003/12/Becoming_a_coach.htm

get tapes of your games and have someone who knows what they're doing edit them (your school or a local Jr college or high school's av department would probably help you out) send copies to all of the teams scouting heads all of the info is available online.  \nAlso if you're playing on a team currently have the coach call in favors for you.  If that doesn't work get over to open calls for Arena league teams.  You don't need an invite for those and all of the coaches have NFL experience, you'll get noticed.

Depends on what type of coaching you want to do and on what level.\n\n1. Professional - NFL, NFL Europe, Canadian\n2. Semi-professional - Many local semi-pro teams in your area\n3. Arena - local arena teams\n4. College\n5. Prep School\n6. High School\n7. Pop Warner\n\nI would take a look at your experience level and determine the level that is appropriate for you.\n\nNext, I would put together a rudimentary resume with your experience focused on sports and football.  Make it like a resume.  I bet you can find examples online.  Yahoo, "Football Coach Resume".  Put it together in word so you can email it to people and create a short cover letter as well.\n\nOnce you find the appropriate level and make your resume and cover letter then determine if you want to be local or be in a certain geography.\n\nThen submit it to all the sports jobs websites that are out there for your particular interest.  Do sports jobs search on Yahoo.  I found many out there.\n\nThe most important thing to do is network with the teams and the people on those teams that are looking to hire.  This could be with the AD, Director of Player Personell or even the coach themselves.  Once you narrow it down to the specific teams.  Call them directly and be aggressive.  Talk about your benefits to them based on your resume and ask for a interview.  Be prepared to make mistakes and learn from them.  It might take time to get a job, but if you want it bad enough you can achieve anything.\n\nGood Luck!

While there are strategies on and off the field to learn, this is a people business.  Knowing how to communicate to people to motivate them to achieve their best is what you want to focus on.\nDo your homework by finding out where the current and recent past coaches came from.  Find the name of every coach for every team in the NFL over the last 10 years.  Find out what their backgrounds were.  Did they start as players?  Coach college first?  Find the coach(es) that you want to embrace as role models, not for their winning record, but for their ability to get the job.  A background you can relate to and emulate.  Start with coaching right now.  City league football or YMCA or HS asst. coach.  Try private schools since they're not a govt. agency they may be easier to get started with.  There's nothing like doing it to learn to do it.  You have to be able to asst. coach HS before you can asst coach college ball.  You have to understudy a good college head coach before you can be a College Head Coach.  If you can't with a college team, you won't be going to the NFL.  You have to prove yourself so you might as well get started.  Degrees and resume qualifications won't get you the job.\n\nThis is a relationship based business.  Start placing yourself in correct environment to initiate, build and nurture those relationships.  Look on the sidelines and find out who's there and who they work for.  Relentlessly pursue the job that puts you on the sidelines.  Read "The 21 Indisputable Laws of Leadership" by John Maxwell.  Get a hold of the team chaplin and volunteer to help him with anything, making copies, running errands, anything.  Don't take "no" for an answer.  Don't be annoying, be persistant.  Did I mention to refine your people skills?\n\nGo for it!

you would need to begin meeting world wide with the representatives of the sport you would also need skills in co ordinating on a national scale as well as Olympic and govt sporting co-coordinator connections,  so as to be recognized internationally \nyou cant do it on your own that's for sure recruit experienced people from both a clerical/managerial and sporting roles \nyou will equally need capital outlay and a public relations representative I'm sure there is  more

anymore almost every city in the US has soccer leagues.  join a league.  get on a team and then chances are your coach will know someone who knows someone who knows someone who can come scout you for a game and may recruit you to that next level.  \nyou have to be good though.  to play on a professional level you have to have professional skill.  if you are young enough there are many camps in europe where you go to learn how to play soccer and you're pretty much garanteed to get drafted onto a european team then.

You have to be invited, thus the name "Select"\n\nThere are some larger leagues that hold tryout for teams that may need a player or two.\n\nIf you know a coach that has a Select team, I would contact him or her.\n\nYou might also try Baseball USA, they might know of someone looking for a player.

Check your local news paper, or ask around.  Go to sports areas and ask people there.  Maybe they can direct you or introduce you to others with your interest.

Be very wary about the various sports makreting/management jobs advertised in Florida. The Miami herald's job section has 5 of these every day. What you are actually doing is selling season tickets on a commision basis, or worse, selling team jerseys, coffee mugs, etc on commission. I am sure there are legit opprotunities but I think your best bet would be to try South Carolina.
