Even though I never played baseball I was an assistant coach on my son's little league teams until he moved up to the Majors. I also used to go out to the park with him many evenings after work and help sharpen up his batting and fielding skills. When he later played Pop Warner football, I took a job on the board, worked at fund raising Bingo games, and often worked on the chain gang during games. I think I got as much pleasure vicariously just being at his games as he did playing, and sports was really good for him in a lot of ways. He soon learned that when the head coach yells "Jump" your answer has to be "How high" or you end doing lots of laps or push-ups.</p>DIY Investor commented on 'How Much I Made This Spring Refereeing Soccer'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20133f23d9d45970b2010-07-12T23:19:48Z2010-07-12T23:19:48ZDIY Investorhttp://rwinvesting.blogspot.comInteresting.

In my area no real training class - they provided one meeting where they gave an extensive quiz. They provided all the equipment etc. I made $30/game and it was great fun. I would usually do 1 game during the week and a couple of games on the weekend. When I was a young man I played catcher so I know the game.<br />
I loved doing a game and then pulling up to the gas tank knowing I had just paid for a weeks or more worth of gas.<br />
Basketball referring is another story. It's a fast game and the parents can get a bit overbearing, even with the really young kids. I know because my daughter referred in high school to make a couple of extra bucks. <br />
Soccer always seemed to me to be a situation where I had to put up a lot for uniform and certification before I got any return. The good thing is that it is a respectable sport.</p>Rob commented on 'How Much I Made This Spring Refereeing Soccer'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20133f23cb9b7970b2010-07-12T20:40:06Z2010-07-12T20:40:06ZRobhttp://www.dailyfinancialsolutions.comI've thought about learning how to become an umpire for rec baseball leagues in my area as it would probably...<p>I've thought about learning how to become an umpire for rec baseball leagues in my area as it would probably be a nice source of side income. Anyone have advice for how to go about doing that? </p>
<p>I am not a huge basketball fan and I cannot stand soccer (sorry FMF) so those are out for me. Only baseball.</p>Doctor S commented on 'How Much I Made This Spring Refereeing Soccer'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2013485624857970c2010-07-12T20:09:25Z2010-07-12T20:09:25ZDoctor Shttp://www.financeurlife.comOfficiating youth sports leagues is a great source of extra cash.

I have blogged about it over the last year, but I have made a TONNNNN of cash refereeing hoops. If you ever want to take it a step further, get certified by your state and officiate middle school/high school/catholic school. Its the best second job in the world. </p>
