I didn't mean to go off on a long tirade but as you can tell I get alittle erked when youth volunteers get bashed.
Anyway there is one thing that should be mentioned that I have noticed is the difference between the youth leagues and HS aged games.
Youth officals need to be very careful not to drop into youth type situations when doing the higher level games. It can and does happen...for example.
Lets say at the third grade level you tend to be a little more forgiving in the 3second, travels, etc because you are in a learning enviorment and when you do 8 games in one day you tend to be alittle more lax in the mechanics due to fatigue.
Its very easy to develope bad habits and hard to break once you have them. An offical who does both types of games have to be very diligent in there separation of the two "types".
