You can send that beer along my way...
Every year, at the same location as the softball sign-ups for the kids, I plant my butt at a table with a sign saying, "Umpires Needed", and each year I get at least 1 or 2 that sign up, take the classes/clinics, and work some. And about a third of those stay with it through the season and into the next seasons. In my current group, more than half of my people were recruited in exactly that way.
