If the umpires want more experience, then tell them it's okay to go to a field on a "day off" and volunteer to jump in with the crew assigned and work three-man.
Or, have the association pony up the cash to pay the third umpire on a few games a year.
Get some umpires who are interested in this together and volunteer to work pre-season scrimmages for free.
