NFHS Pay

[kleeds]

I am just curious what other states pay for High School Fastpitch Softball for girls?

We are really fortunate in Montana that our Montana Officials Association equalized play for all sports a few years ago.

Right now we make $60 for a varsity game and I beleive $37.50 for a JV game and this is if we do two or three man ball.

Just curious what other states make.

Here in Illinois, the schools set the pay (oftentimes with input from local associations). For a single varsity game, I get anywhere between $50 and $65 and for a double-header, I make anywhere between $80 and $110.

I just worked an IHSA varsity game for $40.00. I won't be returning to that school any time soon.

I believe ALL other states pay for softball!

Below is a link to all Georgia game fees. Note regular season softball is comprarable to the little ball, but JV and state playoffs are out of whack a bit. We also receive a "travel allowance" of $25.00 (per crew) per game that is given to the association to disburse as seen fit.

Florida HSAA lists regular season fees at $45 for varsity (2 ump), $40 (3-ump), $35 for JV/freshman. Travel is negotiated between associations and schools with a max of $.60/mile one way.

Hear in East Central FL, we get the above rate plus $10.00 Flat rate.
We cover an area that is about 80 miles from north to south...

You get one fee (each) per umpire per location.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Arizona:

Varsity - $40.00/game, 2 umpire, some 3 umpire in invitational tournament finals and state tournament from the quarterfinals on.

FR/JV - $35.00/game, 2 umpire, $52.50/game, 1 umpire

In the Metro Phoenix or Tucson area, flat fee of $7.00 for travel.
Outside of the Metro areas, I believe (not sure) $.44/mile with defined mileage between towns. For FR or JV, mileage is paid with the game fee.
For Varsity, mileage is calculated and paid in a check at the end of the season.

Almost all of the High Schools in the state pay officials via Ref Pay.

Out here in VWT (Very West Texas) we get $40 for varsity and $35 for JV and below. Travel money depends on school location in relation to an agreed upon "bullseye" that is negotiated between our board and the individual school districts. If I am traveling from my west side home to a west side school I can make $16 for driving 2 miles. On the other hand it can be $10 for driving 35 miles.

I thought EVERYTHING in Texas was bigger. Apparently I was wrong. Dave

In my area of Indiana we get between $55-65 a game and we try to push the schools to pay the same for every level (Freshman, JV and Varsity) most have agreed to do so. Double headers bring anywhere from $95-120. Some will lower the check saying we didn't have to travel twice to umpire the 2nd game, but there is no set travel fee.

Las Vegas area officials' compensation is posted on the website:
SNOA Compensation

$38.75 JV
$50.75 Var
Rate * 1.5 for solo JV game.

Everything I've seen is pretty similar to the other states I've been in, (Ohio & Central New York). The modest differences can be explained by the expense and the economic health of the area.

Here in NY (non-NFHS...so far), the pay is negotiated with the various sections. This is what we currently get in our section, which is in the extreme northern suburbs of NYC (and hold onto your hat):

Modified (Middle School): $62

JV: $71

Varisty: $95

We get assigned by a Section wide education cooperative agency that does all the scheduling (for both schools and officials), assigning AND payments - all withOUT assigning fees.

And they get more down in NYC and on Long Island
