Underpaid or on par?

[BillyMac]

Everything based on two person crews, no travel expenses:

High school varsity: $86.63 each
All subvarsity (junior varsity, freshman, public middle school): $56.18 each
Almost all games are single games. Occasionally we get get assigned a freshman/junior varsity doubleheader.
Automatic annual fee increase equal to average increase in teacher pay in Connecticut.

Catholic middle school league:
Varsity (grade 7, 8; 7:00 periods): $40.00 each (Usually a boys/girls doubleheader)
Junior varsity (grade 5, 6; 6:00 periods): $30.00 each (Usually assigned in groups of two or three games)

In northern West "by God" Virginia, we get a flat $60 per varsity game, all of which are 3-person. No mileage. Fee is due to go up to $65 per game next season.

[dbking]

Varsity 1 game = $70 all 3 person
Varsity 2 game set = $140 all 3 person

Sub varsity $40 - 45? all 2 person

Most games are single game, one conference does double headers.

Here in Tennessee, Varsity games are assigned by an association's assignor. Varsity games are all 3 person crew and we usually ref GV and BV same night back to back. For both games each officials get a total of $80 and NO TRAVEL $$.
Many nights I'll travel over an hour to get to my games. I leave work about 4:30 to be available for GV 6:30 tip-off. Then we have a BV starting at 8:00. By the time game is over and travel back home it is about 11:00.

So for $80 (no mileage fee) I spend about 6 1/2 hours of my time and effort and always getting yelled at by coaches and fans for about $12.30 an hour. WOW. I must do it for the love of the game??????? Or am I just crazy????

When I did the GV/BV DHers in Tennessee back in 1995-1997 we got $60 and worked both games 2-person.

I'm spoiled. I like working my one game now. Start at 7:30PM and hopefully in the car showered and changed by 9PM.

I'm moving back to KC. Here in Iowa we get anywhere from $66 (the lowest I've been paid this year, they're off the schedule in the future) to $95 (highest plus mileage at some schools) for double headers. Single games are $70 I think.

With travel, I've received up to $115 in SW Wisconsin. Of course, in those games I'm driving 100 miles one way, so I'd rather forego the $50 travel and work locally, but it is what it is sometimes.

How about updating your 2010 camps?

Always a superb site and thanks for your hard work in gathering information.

Any travel stipend in CT?

My Association:

Usually have F/JV doubleheader. Two-person - $45-$55/game.
Varsity is one game. Three-person - $63/game

Unless the game is way out there (only a few are) we don't get travel.

Our games are mostly Tues and Fri nights. So, when the Boys Teams play at home, the Girls Teams are away. Hence why we have no BV/GV double-headers.

[StripesOhio]

NW Ohio JV usually $40 or $45

JH 7/8 DH is usually $50 or $55.

Not sure about varsity, I can answer that next season (hopefully).

No mileage reimbursement.

The South Carolina High School League-

varsity (3-man) pays $63+round trip travel @ $0.45/mi (minimum 10 mi) so a school 10 mi or within =$72 fee. An average check is probably high $80s but could get as high as $117. In SC, crews always work GV-BV double header and can only work twice per week.

Subvarsity (2-man where I am but some areas use 3 on JV) pays $45 plus same travel fees. Middle school is $38 plus travel I think.
