Pay Rates for High School Baseball Umpires

[Strike3UROUT]

The rates vary wildly in the southern Illinois area.

3 different schools pay $55, one pays $50, a whole bunch pay $40 and some smaller schools pay on $37.50.


All of these are for two man crews....no 3 man crews here until the Supersectionals.

I would have thought Oregon would be far higher, it looks like us here in the Cleveland area are somewhat "competetive"

Varsity - $46
JV - $32
JV (solo) - $46
Freshman - $28
Freshman (solo) - $41

Summer time:
14U & Under Travel (2 man) - $40
15U & Above - $50

We do not get any mileage, except for state tournament games. I believe sectional game fees are around $50, districts around $60-70, and im sure regional & semi-final & final games over $100.

NC single varsity game =$60. In 2008 it goes to $65.

In our area of SC we get $65.00 for Varsity 1A-4A
$55.00 for JV & $50.00 for Middle School, flat rate no travel

Here in my part of PA, the pay amount varies by school and area. On average, varsity is 50-55, JV is 40-45 below JV is slightly lower.

In the summer, our association sets a $45 flat rate for all games except for men's over 30, which we get 50 since they play 9 innings.


There is no travel/mileage fee in either.

We have a pretty good deal in our association and the two regions we call. $60 for first 7 inning game or single game and $50 for 2d game of DH. No mileage but higher game fees than most of the state. Same rate whether varsity or junior varsity/freshmen. Of course one of the two regions we call has had a team in the state championship game the last 6 years in a row and won five of them. The quality of baseball, even at the JV level, is great and the fans really know their stuff. Thus, the coaches, players and fans expect A LOT from their umpires. Top notch appearance, rules knowledge, hustle and mechanics are a must. Not much room for error or sloppy umpiring. I only have met two guys in our association I could think might be called a Smitty or a Charlie and they only call JV ball. I call other places in the summer and nothing comes close around here to the high school ball in the spring.

In Massachusetts, it's $70 for varsity, $49 for JV. One umpire games are fee-and-a-half. No mileage. Games played under OBR-based rules.
