Well, it ain't you. I assign rec leagues and I usually have a hard time getting officials for some of them, especially the adult rec leagues. They've cleaned up their acts some but their past reputations still follow them. I've got people that just absolutely refuse to do them.

In my experience, officials will do adult rec leagues for two reasons only:
1) Money.
2) They think that the game experience will help improve their officiating skills(which it will imo).

Personally, I would never do a rec league game unless I was absolutely sure that the league and my assignor would back me up completely if there were any problems. If they won't, then it's just not worth putting myself in that position. Jmo.
