    Greetings all,

    Does anybody use contracted sports officials for their youth sports programs?

    If yes, could you please provide how much you pay them?  Thank you.

    I used a contractor while on the board for a large youth baseball organization.  He supplied umpires at $60 per game and he coordinated and trained all of them.  I was also asked by another group to hire a team of umpires without a contractor and to provide the same level of service.  Contractor was a much better outcome as the umpires were professional at all age groups and he had a large list of people that could fill our weekly schedule of games.  Highly recommend the contractor.  Hope that helps.

    Hi Bobby,

    In Costa Mesa we use contract officials for our Youth Basketball Program. We pay the officials $25 per game. The officials have to go through our background screening. Each official pays for their own screening.

    I've found it easier to schedule our adult basketball referees for our youth basketball program since most of them are already working in the high school basketball circuit or with youth programs for various cities.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you Christian.  I also spoke to a few other cities that use them.  Currently Gardena, Inglewood, Cerritos, and Bell Gardens uses Contracted Officials as well.  Some actually have an assignor who schedules them all while others use staff to schedule the officials.
