Game Fees: What are you paid in your area?

[bradyhoke]

Game Fees in Central Ohio are as follows:
Varsity $60 (up from $57 last season)
JV $40
Freshman $35 (up from $30 last season)
Middle School $35

What are game fees like around the country? I am very interested to see what everyone is paid.

Nor the link BNR.

$110 for 2 games 2 man crew.
$90-$100 for 3 man.

This is the going rate. Schools can pay whatever they want here. No set fees, except for the playoffs. We work double headers each night. Boys and girls.

NYC Public Schools = $107.22 for Varsity (2-person). We do 3-person but only in the playoffs, starting in the QF. JV = $80.42.

Whenever NYC public school teachers get a raise, so do we. Don't ask me how that happened but I'd like to shake the hand of the person who brokered the deal.

NYC Catholic & Private Schools = $115 for Varsity (2-person)

Not so fast. I could see them winning every game until OSU. And even then they could give them a run for their money. Not over yet.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

This is discussed every year. But to be honest, we are not payed the same across the board. It is based on school or conference.

For varsity boys basketball, it appears I will be paid around $57 to $65. I heard of one conference the other night paying $68 dollars for a varsity game.

I cannot tell you anything about lower level as right now I have no such games.

At least.

And, I still don't get it. It's not like I'm going to travel from IL to CT to work for $84.73 (or whatever the latest amount is).

Sure, if the rate in the next county over is more (or less) than what I usually get, that matters to me. The next state or the next time zone -- not so much.

$65, generally for 3-person which is all we do.
It's all relative anyway. If that rate increases it'll only get swallowed up by a new shirt or pants or additional camp or two. Regardless, with standard mileage deducted and all applicable expenses factored in, it always seems to net out to about 24.00 per game.

When I first started working our local kids rec league, rookie refs got $5 a game, second year refs got $7 and if you had at least three years of reffing experience, you got $9. We got checks mailed to us once a month.

We didn't get any mileage but, of course, we were riding our horses to the games because cars hadn't been invented yet.

I've never understood it, either. It's going to vary by region, locality, and sometimes by conference or school. I could see some benefit if you're looking to negotiate, but even then only the information for nearby officials would be of any relevance. ADs in Iowa, for example, aren't going to care what officials are getting in New York.

I remember when I was getting paid $25.00 a game, but that was back in the early 1980's. Fees change, and will probably continue to do so. See the title of my post.
