Association Fees

[RogersUmp]

What is customary for annual fees paid to your umpire association? Our association has not charged fees since I joined in 2001. This year there are what seems to be reasonable fees ($50). I was just wondering how much other associations charge.

OH: $55 for state license, $15 local association fee (local fees vary).

LI, NY: $90 annual dues, no assigning fees. $115 for a varsity game ($96 JV). 2-man. 1.5 fee if you work alone (rare).

My organization in MO charges $30 for baseball, which includes spring and summer. We also pay 5% of our pay on games that are charged through the association (some summer is cash-at-plate; we don't pay the 5% then).

I need to move back home. Here in Houston dues are $75 and assigning fee of $3/game.

Game Fees are $50+mileage (.50/mile) for varsity or $45+mileage for jv. JV games are usually doubleheaders.

$50 to State association and $10 to to local group/association. Not too bad.

State dues, KY, $45.00 for first sport, +$25.00 for each additional sport. Local association fees, $45.00 per sport. Different assignors?
Some associations feel compelled to pay assignors additional $$$$, even though they receive their assigning pay through the state so to speak.

If your association has NOT charged fees since 2001 who has paid for the cost of insurance and the books (Rule / case book)?

To answer your question we have 2 FEES.

1. To the HS association - $80.00
2. To the assignor for spring / summer / fall ball - $45.00

Also, Plate / base assignments are listed on our schedules. Some associations that I know of do not list the assignments and leave it up to the officials. FWIW I prefer the listing of assignments. I always carry my plate gear irregardless but it makes 'life easier' when you know your assignment.

$40 to the State, and $70 to our local association. The association fee varies from group to group.
