We had a problem with this at a playoff game last year. We work teams that we don't normally see during the regular season. When I went to have my pregame conference with the ball boys, I found that there were 12 of them. Yeah, that was a red flag that I missed! Anyway, these kids were running all over the field every time we nedded a ball.

To shortended a long story - we don't allow ball boys to come onto the field. They toss the ball in and we relay it.

How do other areas handle this?
