training new officials
Do you know what your association charges to train new officials?
Just wondering and want to compare what we charge to others. How much do you think a 1st year official could earn in your area? Do you have a back ground check done on newbies? What's the top level game a 1st year official could officiate? |

Charge? nothing. They join the association and pay the dues like everyone else and the training is free.
Earn? It varies widely depending on how ready they are. It could be just a couple hundred dollars for some if they just are not ready to be on the court. Background? Yes, through the state. Level? Usually freshman and usually girls at first. It is highly unlikely a 1st yer person would see anything more than freshman. For some, they may not see much more than freshman for 3+ years.

JUst dues -- and for many associations I belong to, the dues are less for first year officials. If they choose to go to a clinic / camp, then there's the clinic / camp fee.
If they can get known by the different assigners, then they can easily work 30 or 40 games a year at $50 - $55. If they add JH and youth, even more. Most of the games would be F or JV, with maybe a handful of Soph games throw in (the Soph games are the prelim before the V game here). |

$40 or $45 training fee for first year officials and officials who require training to earn full membership. This is something that started after I had joined. Never been a fan of it.

How Much ???
Quote:
The $190.00 is $65.00 more than our $125.00 annual "regular" member dues, so, I guess, that one could say that our training fee is $65.00 (Again, I don't know the cost to the state sports body, and, thus, our local board, for criminal background checks). Provisional members are usually assigned from ten to twelve middle school, freshman, or junior varsity, games, depending on how well they do on their floor exams, and their availability to officiate games in the afternoon. The 2014-15 game fee for all subvarsity games is $60.45. Game fees are subject to 7% assignment fee, as for any member, provisional member, or "regular" member.

We do not charge anyone to be trained. We have dues that covers association or camp resources, but that is not a charge for training. Actually in most associations I belong to, the first year for a newer officials, is often free. So a first year official to the association can attend meetings an not pay dues as a trail point of view to see if they like it. Actually anyone can really attend meetings without paying dues, but they do not get the other benefits of being a member like give away or being on mailing list for games and other opportunities.
Peace

I Doubt That It's Free ...
What portion of that $200 goes toward the criminal background check?

$0 for training - just assoc. fee.
How much do you think a 1st year official could earn in your area? $800 - $1,000 Do you have a back ground check done on newbies? Through State What's the top level game a 1st year official could officiate?Maybe JV - small school |

We are working on the background check part. I am thinking it is about $35. but not sure. If we do that, this would be the first year. We are a small community and pretty much everyone knows everyone else.
Most of us have had background checks done because we worked with the school systems in some capacity. I coached. About 30% of our members are teachers. About 20% were coaches. Others were players for the most part. We have about 55 to 60 officials in our board. |

Then what good are they? What do they do for you if they don't offer training and don't assign games?

There's a split here between ongoing training and initial entry training. Ongoing training is done by associations and is generally just part of the dues ($15-25 a year or so). 4 association meetings are required for license maintenance but you're certainly free to go to as many as you'd like. Initial training is a state-licensed class, offered by a number of associations but open to all, not linked to association membership. They generally range from $120-$150.
