Ball in Arkansas
We will start here on January 11th with several meetings in January and February and then back to one a month the rest of the year with clinics on weekends about once per month. Sorry to hear that you guys have been having problems with your local associations and their negotiations with the schools. We just successfully received a raise from our area schools to $50 for a single game, $75 for 10 innings, $85 for 12 innings and $95 for 14 innings scheduled. We do not charge a mileage fee for most of our schools as they are less than a 1 hour drive and have just included it in the base fee. I certainly hope that the schools come around and realize that you need to be paid for the job that you do.
