I work mainly the lower level JRHS level stuff and have been officiating at this level for my 7+years...here is what I'd would offer...
If it's travel/AUU (better talent)...keep calling it the way you are. If the coaches want to complain, give them an explanation and maybe follow it up with "Coach, your players are talented enough not to be walking...." At this level they shouldn't be anyway...
For the rec league level, I'd start out the season a lttle loose, then tighten it up as you go..
There is always the pregame that can address this as well.....Much like sales, set the tone upfront so there are no surprises from either party...
