In Illinois:
HS Sophomore/Varsity- Fri night/Sat afternoon (a few Sat mornings and nights)- almost all worked as doubleheaders now due to shortage of officials. 5-man crews, $60-75 per man total for both games. Individual games, Sophomores usually $40-45, Varsity $50-60. Varies by school district or conference.
HS JV- guys not starting on the varsity- not much of this level of play, not taken very seriously- Monday or Thursday afternoons, some Saturday morning, 3-man crew, $36 per man.
HS Freshman- Thursday afternoon, Saturday morning- 2-man or 3-man crews, $32-36 per man. Fifth quarter pays another 20-25%. Some doubleheaders, but do not pay 2x single game fee (and I don't work 'em!).
Below HS-level is Pop Warner and Catholic grade schools. Play Saturdays and Sundays, all day and night (12 noon until 9 pm). 3-man or 4-man crews, pay ranges from $20 to $40 per game, varies by level of kids and by league. Kids start tackle football in first grade/7 years old.
No one in Illinois pays mileage (ha!) except I believe at certain higher levels of the state championship series they may pay a little bit.
Hope this helps.
