Well, If you're making $60 for a HS game in summer ball, that is really high. HS rates are only $45 per game in our area and if I work two games i consider $85 great.

But $60 per game, that's really really high.

I don't do "small ball" guys who don't shave, but most of our regular summer rates are usually around $40 per game plate, $35 for bases for HS kids.

I've done some select ball leagues that pay $40 per game, and they play a two hour time limit, so that seems to fit the area.

Let's see, you've done HS and college ball, and now you're working with 9 year olds - something kind of strange in those words or either you are just one of those who does it only for the money.

I don't have the patience to put up with the parents and I don't like the idea of getting hit every other pitch for $35.

Thanks

HS here in Ct is about $75.00

I know in Long Island, they get $100.00 for Varsity. That is per official.

Wow, either you guys don't have many games, or there is a severe shortage of umpires.

If I made that kind of money, I could quit my day job and simply work nights and weekends.

I generally work two nights a week and weekends so its about 6-7 games.

That would be $600-700 a week, - my wife would love that instead of the $250-300 that I bring home.

Thanks

I don't think so David. Unfortuanetly the cost of housing, taxes, gas ,insurance and every other thing in these areas, almost necessitates that you keep your day and night job.

You may be better off than you think!!!!!
