Agree with the part about getting out there, and being part of the game, at all levels. I wicked love it.

As far as the free part goes. This past season I traveled almost 1600 miles back and forth to games, spent over $250.00 on expenses, attended several association meetings, and rushed after work to observe countless subvarsity contests before my varsity assignments. I'd say that I was fairly compensated. I certainly wouldn't do it all for free.

All payouts are not financial. If gas, expenses, mileage on the car/truck and camp and association fees were all free than yes I would. But none of those things are. And I certainly could make more money doing other things that I sacrifice to work a game. If it was not for the love of the game and officiating especially I would not be doing this to this extent. And there is no money in the world that will make me do all levels. Some of those levels I worked hard to not have to do ever again if I choose.

Peace
