Yea, but look how much fun you have doing LL. My one big
problem is all the games are 60 + miles one way...So I am
not doing near as many.

Yeah - it is a lot of fun. I still have a fairly active 12 y/o at home and my daughter will be attending Keene State in the fall. One of these days, I'll have enough time on my schedule to be able do more. Until then, Hot Dog & Soda are just fine.

Since I'm retired, I'll give you the average for Metro Atlanta that I'm aware of:

SP--1 UMP $27, 2 UMPS $18 adult, 1 hr to 1 hr 15
$20 $15 girls, 1 hr 15 to 1 hr 30


FP--JO ASA Travel Ball 1 UMP $39.00 2 UMPS $33.00
75 min to 90 min
Tournaments 2 or 3 around $31.00

Men's Modified $42.00 1, $36.00 2---90 min

HS Varsity $38 2 man
JV $33 2 man

I know of only 1 association that pays mileage. Association Dues are $25-$35 above ASA or NHFS fees. Most associations have free training utilizing practice games for rookies with a veteran. We also have a 2 day development school that has 2-3 ASA clinicians from Merle's staff that is $65.00, and a 1 day Regional clinic w/ at least 1 of Merle's staff for $10.00.

I hope this helps! Atlanta pays it's umpires well, I think for the most part.
