I will work any game with them and would rather work with them than some of the more 'experienced' umpires we have. The younger of the two is also working JV ball this year and has had to complaints so far.

I know a 13 year old who worked a HS fall league last year...and the girls loved him. He's been umpiring since, oh, about age 2! Seriously, I think he started when he was 8. He's better than some umpires I've worked COLLEGE ball with.
