cost of refereeing

[IowaMike]

Here in Iowa, you don't have to belong to a local association, but most do. I pay the state high school athletic association $40 each year which covers 2 sports, $5 for each additional sport. This is only to do boys games. The girls sports are covered under the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, I pay them $25 for one sport, $5 for each additional. Dues at my local association are $15 per year, I get very few games through them and there is no assigning fee that I am aware of. I also have a reciprocal certification in Illinois which costs $15 for one sport, $5 for each additional sport.
