The reason there are Saturday games, a lot of schools do not have lights. So they have to play in the morning/afternoon in order to have a game in the first place. Now there are more schools that are getting lights and the need for Saturday games are not as common. A lot of schools live in communities where the house owners do not want lights near their property. I have a varsity game at a school that will have lights for the first time. I even lost a Saturday game this year to a school that put in lights and moved the game to Friday.

I will admit that I really hate a lot of Pee Wee games. I even stopped doing them for a few years all together, because there were officials that did not want to call the game properly. And coaches were always trying to tell you how the rules were laid out based on some NFL game they saw. The money can be good, but with all the hassle, I would rather watch football on TV then work a league where the officials are not treated with a certain amount of respect. I also feel that many of the Pee Wee coaches are not as accountable for their actions as they are in HS sports. If I eject a coach from a game, he has to answer to the Principal and the AD for his actions. I deal with a Pee Wee Coach, the League President might make excuses for him because that is his brother. I would rather plunk hair off my head for fun.
