Age to work at a field?

Vismund Cygnus · 07-14-2005, 06:35 PM

I'm looking for owners opinions: How old do you have to be to work at a field? I'm 14 and I think it would be awesome. Hell, at my local field one of the refs is 13. So what do you guys think? BTW, if any field owners in the Southeast PA region are looking for some help with anything, send me a PM.

generally it's 16 because of insurance

Most fields that employ anyone under 16 gets paid in merchandise as child labor laws require you to be 16 to work in a non-family business.

Vismund Cygnus · 07-14-2005, 06:47 PM

Hey, thats not bad at all!

supermario · 07-14-2005, 10:45 PM

I think it changes from State to State...I know PA and NJ are 16

VAShocker999 · 07-15-2005, 10:31 AM

yeah, i think it varies from field to field. I play at Pev's in Virginia, and the age limit there is 15.

Lol, Here, in AZ I think it is supposed to be 16, but it varies by state. And also at a field I play at some like 13 year old kid refs somtimes so somtimes people aren't to strict about things.

i think its 15 cause thats when you can get you work permit

TwistedPBMom · 07-18-2005, 12:54 AM

We abide by our liability insurance requirements of 16 years or older (not the younger state of Texas allowances). However, most of my refs are 17-24 years plus.
