As I sit on the sidelines enjoying watchign my kids play, i am always amused by parents who get so angry about the refs. 9 times out of 10 the parents who make 150k+ combined bitch about the lack of accountability. Then they talk about how the refs can make good money.
Ref fees start at $15 for AR's and $30 for center refs for the young kids and can get up to $70 as a center ref and $35 for AR at the u18 level.
Now $70* 6 games might sound like a decent amount but, at the older ages the refs generally rotate so in a 3 game day they would center once and AR twice.
The refs have to pay their own renewal each year of $100. They must buy their own uniform, equipment etc. And bottom line have to deal with ******* coaches and clueless parents.
Decent money for a kid. Something to do for someone over 30 and really just a terrible job.
