Ok, question on how much we can make:

In ohio, how much does the following pay?

HS Frosh
HS JV/Reserve
HS Varsity


In the NCAA, how much does the following pay?

D3
D2
D1

In the NBA...how much does that gig pay?

P.S.
 

P.S. to this question....Obviolsly, I am not officiating completely for the Benjamins....so far in my 2 short years, I enjoy the gig and for the most part have been lucky enough to avoid bad situations than I know will eventually come up. Bottom line, please dont read into my question as that I am only worried about the juice. I'm just curious about the potential.

Larks...It aint always about the benjamins! But they sure help sometimes!

First, I'm from the old school and don't discuss money. My wife was curious as to the remuneration (go figure) and did some snooping and found in Texas the range is $20-$25 for Fresh & JV and Varsity anywhere from $28+gate to $60/game (2-man) and $40/game (3-man) - NOTE: that is from the chapter sites that would post the information.

Personally, I do it because I thoroughly enjoy it (in particular) and working with kids/young adults in general (besides, the excercise won't kill me). I also contribute several hundred hours a year working as a BSA leader and have paid a couple thousand dollars over the last few years for training, equipment, etc. (not including $2,000 for Nat'l Jamboree) to VOLUNTEER. I honestly think I would officiate for free (practically there now). I only track income and expenses so I don't get nailed on April 15.

But then, I only aspire to go as high as HS varisty.

I think we have had several such posts before, but what the heck, I'm bored. In Kansas, I have been paid:

Jr. High: from $15/game no mileage, to $28/ game plus .50 per mile one way. So I go to one school and get $30 and another and get $62 for the same work in the same league. May even be the same two teams playing.

Junior Varsity: Usually $25-$30 per game plus from .42-.62 mileage.

Varsity: I work in three different leagues and there are three different pay arrangements, I will list them from my favorite to work to least.
#1 3 man crews work 2 games and get $75 no mileage.
#2 2 man crews work 2 games and get $60 plus miliage (.45?)
#3 3 man crews work 3 games and get $85 no mileage.
Needless to say the third league gets the has beens and leftover dates from the officials. #2 is raising to $90 no mileage next year, supposedly, maybe that will make the others come up also. There is another league in the areathat I should be able to get some dates in next year and they pay around $100 for two games (3 man.)

JuCo and small college: from $100-$175 generally, no mileage.

In high school, I believe we pay them $150.00/person - 3 man, two games.

Thanks Dog.

I am in Tennessee and this is the breakdown for the Nashville area:

Middle School: $25 one game $40 two games
9th and J.V: $30 one game $50 two games
H.S. 2 man $40 one game $70 two games
3 man $35 one game $60 two games

No mileage on any of it. I have found that I would gladly give up $10 to work 3 man on most of my HS games.

Yow! When I was in HS, my school paid (fee set by association, I believe) about $60 per varsity official and $42 per jv. Usually there were only 2 at each game because our men's team had a short bench and the coach didn't want the off-ball calls to foul out his star players.

I could be wrong, but that sounds correct.

Hmmm...I think you're probably wrong. That's extremely high and I've never heard it before.

However, in TX football, well, that's a different story.

d-2 around 170$
d-1 between 450 and 1600 depending on conference
nba- rookie season 90,000 + 10,000 bonus + perdiem(225 per day, give or take a few dollars). a tad over 1600 per game(based on 62 games-that is the average)

In Texas you make $30 if no one shows up to watch your game. You make more if there is a gate. You could get $150 but that would be a huge crowd. Anything less than varsity you make $23 for the first game and it is a decreasing scale based on the number of games called.

football in texas can be very, very good to you
 

I got $250 plus mileage for a state championship game last weekend....and it was one of the middle of the road classifications...we had an estimated crowd of 6300.

I am in VA and this is what we get paid:

Varsity - 3 person $45.00 regular season, $54.00 district playoffs and post-season, $60.00 regionals.

JV - $36.00 (no playoffs, but sometimes Christmas Tourny)

Freshman - $36.00 (no playoffs)

Middle Schools - $31.00 for 2-person crew and $40.00 for 1-person crew

We are also paid $25.00 for timing the varsity games. The timer will usually do the freshman/JV D/H and stay for the clock in the varsity contest. We have 3 or 4 varsity officials that are on the "injured reserve" list and they will usually do the clock if they want to.

Our rec ball fees range from $23.00 - $30.00 depending upon age of players.

I'm a rookie, so not much to draw from, but here's a sampling of what I've received this fall.

Gender Grade Games Fee
Boys 5&6 3 $50.00
Boys 5&6 1 $25.00
Boys 7A&B 2 $40.00
Boys 7A&B 2 $40.00
Boys 8A&B 2 $45.00
Boys 8A&B 1.5 $40.00

Our local high school does pay $65/offical for a single varsity game.
