"Worst thing" seems a bit over-stated.

The directors of high school team camps in this area of the Upper Peninsula would like to get registered officials for boys, but can't get them at $8.00 per game.

For the girl's camp, college women team members seem to be preferred by the camp director.

I have worked these camps with registered officials (new and used), college players and even coaches.

'Tain't the end of the world by a long shot, and some of the college athletes have a genuine interest in proper officiaitng.
