Arizona $43.00, plus .40 cents per mile I believe, and 100 mile one-way trips are very common north of Phoenix. Next year AZ gets a $5/game raise in all sports.

Around in my area, it's any where from 40-55 for one varsity game. Double headers they usually pay 65-75. I did hear just today that a school is paying 35 for varsity baseball.

Last Thursday, the local Fed assigner was having a hard time finding someone to do a middle school girls' softball single game tomorrow (Friday, April 21), one man, for $72. Game time 3:45 p.m., with a 5:00 p.m. drop dead time limit.

Last I heard, he still had no takers.

wow, you guys make way more than us. Here in Bellingham, wa (next to canada) we make:

55.00 - HS varsity

43.00 - HS JV

45.00 - HS C single

40.00 - HS C

Babe ruth is done by kids with little or no experience umpiring. We get a travel fee, but it is flat rate, included in the above pay. We do weekend tournaments for U16 & U18 that are traveling teams who are actually good. These pay 40.00/game, and you do three games straight usually, but the games are 7 inning with a 2 hr time limit, and we get free food.

All I can say is, with the way gas prices are these days, no one can say that officials of any sport just do this for the money.....

These rates are not accurate. The state of Washington has uniform, within the classifications, HS baseball officiating rates set to protect schools in outlaying areas from getting scrwed. These are not them unless you are adding in the mileage expense you contract for locally. While rates are uniform within the sports, they are not uniform sport to sport. You can check with the WIAA/WOA for accurate information on game fees for the different sports in Washington.

In Southern Illinois:


Many single HS games pay $35-40
Some bigger schools pay $45-55 for conference single games
Some Saturday DH's pay from $90-100


They never pay travel. That is the umpires job to determine whether it is "worth it" to travel to the field or just not take the game.

For reference these same HS's pay around $45-$55 a game for basketball referees both JV and Varsity.

Definitely not a way to get rich being an umpire/referee in this part of the country.

I posted this in the last thread, put I'll put it here again.

Statewide in New Hampshire,

V $74 with a partner
JV $52 with a partner

we rarely have a game alone, but the rate for those is a fee and a half.

Babe Ruth locally is $40
