As someone who is in his 13th season of being on the Board of a local rec league, let me tell you what you probably don't want to hear. Unless you have very dedicated senior officials who are willing to take the time to train the younger and inexperienced officials, you are not going to get experienced officials at that grade level.
In my league, we have a "mentoring" program. Some of us will work lower level games with new refs to help train them. Sometimes, we assign an experienced official to "train" two new refs during a game, and the experienced official gets his/her standard game fee. However, I have found that the number of experienced officials that will do either of these two functions is relatively small.
It's not inexpensive to train officials. Many rec leagues can't afford to spend their limited funds doing it.
