I have been paid $56 for all my HS games except for one and I live in Illinois. So you might need to update that range.

In what part of the state do you reside, heavyd ?

I don't know if all associations in Ohio pay the same (probably not), but in the Elyria Assn., we get $50 per game (regular season). The assigner gets $5 of that. (So we get $45.) It doesn't matter if its varsity, JV, Freshman or Jr Hi. It doesn't matter if it's a doubleheader. It doesn't matter if it's a 2-man crew or if you are working alone. Same deal for softball.

I don't work that much in the spring...our HS season is short. 1st part of April until Memorial Weekend...then playoffs...but unless you know somebody you're not getting playoff games no matter how good you are...state tournament is a little different though...do coaches rate you through the State during your HS season. We are rated here in MN

Tennessee HS Varsity rates are set by the state - $60 single game, $80 doubleheader

Everything under varsity is negotiated by the local association, so it varies from area to area.

In my association, JV is the same as varsity, so most schools only use one umpire for those games. If it is a Varsity JV doubleheader, one umpire will work the plate for the varsity game and go home. The other umpire works the bases for the varsity game and works alone for the JV game. He gets $100, which is $60 for the varsity game and both $20's for the double header.
