We alway travel as a crew to out of town games, so I'm only driving on one out of three trips. Gas prices suck but it was much worse two years ago when it went to $5.
We receive a flat fee for all games which is includes travel and is determined by the state association. You get the same fee whether driving 1 mile or 60 miles. We're fortunate that we don't drive more tahn an hour to any school.
We also work varsity doubleheaders ($85). So while we may not get as much as we would if we worked two games on two nights, we also only work one night for two games and we don't have double travel for two games.
