Looking at some of those game fees, it is no wonder some areas are having trouble getting officials!
by the way in our area of NY (mid Hudson Valley)for softball we get -
$53 for what NY calls 'modified' - 7th and 8th grade
$62 for JV
$72 for varsity
during our last regional contract negotiations, the baseball umps, who have under Title IX always received the same fees as every other sports official, regardless of gender or sport, gummed up the works by filing for arbitration over wanting more!
