Basically these LL need to be run by a group that will go to bat for the officials - in case there are problems.
Like I said earlier - we are backed 100% and we know we don't have to deal with a lot of crap from the coaches and fans.
One other poster noted that these leagues were run by coaches / fans / parents etc. and in a lot of cases that's correct. In those cases - the coaches aren't going to police themselves - as they are generally the problem.
I've ref'ed for a loooooong time -and have reached that stage that I don't need the experience/money / and especially the headaches a small group can give you.
As long as it isn't a headache - I'll do it -- but I have zero tolerance for any coach questioning a call -- absolutely zero. If they have a question - that's one thing - ask away. If they question our judgment -- that's another.
For those of you out there doing these - and having problems - get w/ the leaders of the program and have a long talk w/ them about how you expect it to be run - from an officials side.
