In Kentucky the state policy board has set our varsity fee at $45 per official per game. This is the minimum fee that can be paid in the state. Local policy boards can vote to pay more and most have. Our association receives $50 per official per game. We have found that the fees across the area range from $50 to $65 depending on your association affiliation.
For JV and Freshmen games, the game fee is set at $120 per game. This money is split depending on the number of official who call the game. If 4(the recommended crew size) call the game then each official receives $30. If 3 call then each official receives $40. If 2 call then each get $60. If you call it by yourself you get the entire $120.
For grade school we get $35 per official for an 8th grade game and $30 per official for any grade level below the 8th.
We are having problems in our area covering the sub-varsity games Monday thru Thursday because of Volleyball and girls grade school basketball being played. Our officials pool is relatively the same and now we have added sports during football season and the pool of officials is being stretched to the limits. It is really causing problems. My opinion, which of course doesn't really matter, Title IX has struck again and the only ones who have had to cancel and reschedule games are the boys and football. We are discussing the fees and possibly increasing them to make it more favorable to officiate the sub-varsity games Monday thru Thursday.
