You have to remember that these referees have to pay for their uniforms and equipment, take time out every year to get certified, and pay to get certified, and drive to the tournaments, and with the price of fuel, $125.00 to $175.00 is a good base rate to me, unless you plan on paying them mileage. I appreciate every person that puts on a refree's uniform and help our kids become the best that they can. Thanks to all of you!!!!
