Wow, wish that were the case here in NE North Dakota, but unfortunately we often are forced to do 7th & 8th grade games solo as we don't have enough officials to field even 2-man crews for sub-high school games.
With this in mind, how do others go about recruiting officials? I have tried in the past to get graduating seniors for the following season, coworkers and even fraternity borthers, but they all bow out because of:
1) Times are inconvenient
2) Equipment is too expensive
3) Pay isn't enough to compensate for time lost at work
