How Much ???

$190.00 nonrefundable application fee.

I believe that the application fee includes the state interscholastic sports governing body criminal background check (I don't know the cost to the state sports body for criminal background checks). It does include IAABO liability insurance for the first provisional year.

The $190.00 is $65.00 more than our $125.00 annual "regular" member dues, so, I guess, that one could say that our training fee is $65.00 (Again, I don't know the cost to the state sports body, and, thus, our local board, for criminal background checks).

Provisional members are usually assigned from ten to twelve middle school, freshman, or junior varsity, games, depending on how well they do on their floor exams, and their availability to officiate games in the afternoon. The 2014-15 game fee for all subvarsity games is $60.45. Game fees are subject to 7% assignment fee, as for any member, provisional member, or "regular" member.

We do not charge anyone to be trained. We have dues that covers association or camp resources, but that is not a charge for training. Actually in most associations I belong to, the first year for a newer officials, is often free. So a first year official to the association can attend meetings an not pay dues as a trail point of view to see if they like it. Actually anyone can really attend meetings without paying dues, but they do not get the other benefits of being a member like give away or being on mailing list for games and other opportunities.

Peace

$0 for training - just assoc. fee.

How much do you think a 1st year official could earn in your area? $800 - $1,000

Do you have a back ground check done on newbies? Through State

What's the top level game a 1st year official could officiate?Maybe JV - small school

We are working on the background check part. I am thinking it is about $35. but not sure. If we do that, this would be the first year. We are a small community and pretty much everyone knows everyone else.

Most of us have had background checks done because we worked with the school systems in some capacity. I coached. About 30% of our members are teachers. About 20% were coaches. Others were players for the most part. We have about 55 to 60 officials in our board.

Part of our state registration goes towards a background check.

What portion of that $200 goes toward the criminal background check?
