Frankly I prefer adults on a chain crew. Many of the middle schools in our area use teachers/staff members. Don't know if they require it or sweeten the pot with a stipend but they seem to work out the best.

One notch above worse than kids is parents. Kids get distracted but parents try to coach and tend to want to question everything going on. I don't mind answering a question if its put to me in a civil way but when I have to start issuing warnings to my chain crew, its more trouble than its worth.

The only chain crew I ever fired was a group of varsity players at a MS game who plainly showed they were more interested in anything going on besides what their coach had sent them to do. Flirting with the girl managers on the visiting sideline and moving the box on an incomplete pass were the straws that broke my camel's back.
