# of Games/ $ / Tracking your yearly work...

[Coltdoggs]

I was just curious what the going rate around the country was for various levels...also, how many games a year/season are you working...I thought it would be fun to start keeping a tally for myself and do you happen to use any software to log/track your games. I have an old XL program that somebody wrote back about 5 years ago...I'd like to get an updated version if anyone has anything....

For me...I know I worked 82 games from Jan into March in one rec league I did....I added about another 10-15 from their travel program....Then over the summer I've been working anywhere from 2-8 games per weekend.

Typically the rec stuff in Indy is paying $20 to $25 per game depending on the league....There is one facility in Indy that only pays $15/game.

HS is all over the board...I've heard $45 to $95 depending on how far you travel...

So what about your area....and if you have any good ideas for keeping track of games/pay/mileage for tax purposes...let me know...

Do a search. There's plenty of threads.

SD is typically $70 for high school games + mileage.....only the largest class and a few other schools assign, otherwise it's contract one and bring 1 or 2 partners.

College is $100/game with one mileage paid.

I just keep track of my info on a word document, filling in as I go. A lot of nights I won't get paid, it will come in the mail at a later date (I hate that and the keeping track of who has paid and who hasn't")... I also keep track of other expenses for the year for when tax season rolls around.

I use a simple spreadsheet that I created in Excel. I list the date, home school, away team, date assigned, date changed, miles, and date paid. If I have a cancelation, I do not delete it. Instead, I put a line through it and enter the "date changed."

I do not keep exact mileage on the car anymore. I simply use the miles from Google maps.

This makes it easy for me to reconcile all my information for tax purposes and to see which schools are slow to pay.
