Association Dues

[Steverz]

This year (October 2010), we had to pay $85 dues in order to belong to our Basketball Association, pay for books and insurance. I am located in small town Virginia.

What are the rest of you paying this year for Association dues? I think ours are way too high, but, I won't know until scores of you reply to this post. Please reply with amount of dues you pay and what state you officiate in. Thanks.

To be licensed in our state (Illinois), it's $45 for the first sport and $15 for each additional sport.

As far as association, I pay $15 and $20 for two different associations.

In our little corner of Connecticut our annual dues are $115.00. In addition to that we also pay 7% of our season's gross earnings.

In CO, the state wide dues are $75 or $95 if late. They will go up to $85/$105 (late) next year. We have association dues as well, I can't remember what they are at the moment though.

$45.
Assignor fee is a sliding scale based on number of games assigned.

My local association dues are $35 ($45 if late). This will vary by area, obviously, so yours may be different. So, combined, my area pays $110 per year in dues.

Dues for my HS group in CA are $50. The JC conference there is $75.
My HS group on the NV side of the line charges $65.

For those of you who are paying assigning fees, I can't believe that you put up with that. That cost should not be borne by the game officials, but instead by the member schools who are contracting with the assignor or organization doing the assigning. That fee should be built into that contract.

To stick the rank and file officials with that cost is bush league.

I belong to three basketball associations. The main one where I am a board member I only pay $35 dollars for being a multiple sport official in that association. I pay $40 for one and I believe $45 for the other.

Our state charges $55 to register for the first sport, $30 for the second, and $25 for each additional sport, so I paid $110 this year. I pay $50 in association dues for basketball and $30 each for two different baseball associations, plus $125 for college baseball which goes mostly to the NCAA.

Don't like it? Start your own association and charge less.

Here in sunny San Diego its...

$90 for association dues ($110 if late)

$70 for assignor fees ($90 if late)

I don't think our dues are particularly high, but it's all relative to the area you live in I guess.

Here dues are: $115. $50 to the state, $65 to the chapter. We also pay a flat $80 assigning fee which rather severely punishes sub varsity officials or those who can't work as much IMO.

In our GA association it's $90. First year folks pay at the beginning of the season while vets have that amount taken out of their year-end check for the next year.
