One thing that has had limited success for my area is grooming kids as they go through our rec program. I am UIC for a small rec league and as the kids get older a few have become good umpires. There is at least one (out of high school) that is toying seriously about getting her high school license. Several have become ASA umpires and even done some tournies. I am not going to lie, there are HOURS of wasted time, kids just don't get into it and give it up. But I figure if I can get some of them to love it and stick with it, the effort was worth it.
