I may be a fool for other reasons but it seems difficult to label a volunteer a fool. As a parent of players, instead of working concessions or providing other parental services, I offer to officiate scrimmages without pay.

Well said. I've volunteered for many scrimmages and lower level games.
I like to help the coaches/kids/schools/whatever out.
PLUS, it's a chance to get better and improve. I guess my time isn't too valuable for that.
