While we are talking about $$$ How much do you make?

I know that this topic has been covered in the past, but I am curious to know the avg. rates around the country. I will state that I live in the SW corner of Minnesota and I work 50-60 nights of Varsity basketball a year, both boys and girls. On average we earn around 90.00-100.00 a night for doing 2 games a night during the regular season. The rates apply for both 2 man and 3 man. Most of our games are done with 2, but 3 is becoming more and more common. When the playoffs arrive we are paid 75.00-85.00 for one game and mileage pay is included, which is 0.50 a mile. I know that this isnt something that we are going to get rich at, but was curious to know with the increase in gas prices around the country are you guys raising your rates? Thanks

LHSAA pay scale

Approved: $33/JV or V game + $15 flat fee travel
Certified: $35/JV or V game + $15 flat fee travel

Freshmen games: $25 flat/game + $15 flat fee travel

[JerryLundagard]

St. Louis, MO area
Varsity 3 person $60
Varsity 2 person $66
JV/V doubleheader about $95
Not sure about the lower level but I would guess it is in the neighborhood of $45 a game.

None of the schools in the metro area pay any travel expenses.

If you get outside of the St. Louis metro area the fees drop off and most of the games are two person. However some schools do pay mileage.

Central IL -

Freshman and JV - $40/game
Varsity $50-$60/game

Lower level stuff $25/game

I hit the court hard and usually make about $7500 a season.

[rockchalk jhawk]

JUCO/NAIA D2
$160-165

High School Varsity
$90-100 for a B & G Dbl header (All 3 whistle)

Sub Varsity & Frosh
$30-40 per game, 1-3 games per night (about 1/3 is 3 whistle, rest 2 whistle)

Middle School
$27.50-35 per game, 2-3 games per night (believe it or not, a handful do 3 whistle)

No Mileage

Playoffs (High School)

Substate
$55/game and $.36/mi

Houston Varsity depends.

Its anywhere from 55 to 95 depending on where the school is in relation to Houston.

[26 Year Gap]

VT Varsity $55 plus mileage at IRS rate less assignment fee of $2
JV/Frosh $35 plus mileage at most schools
same rate for 3 man at varsity level

Next year is $65/$40

Following year is $75/$45

Some consideration is being given to the NH model.

Cajun, where did you get these numbers? The official pay scale, according to the sheet I have from the rules clinic, as well as the website, is actually, for varsity, per official, per game:

2 person: $36 Certified $34 Approved $33 Registered

3 person: $31 $29 $28

playoffs: $60 $55 $50


There is no amount on anything I have for subvarsity games and travel pay, as these are hammered out between the officials association and the principals of the participating schools.
