I like this view. I don't do a lot of youth games, but when I do, I view it as a two-fold benefit:
First and foremost, it's a service. We still get paid, but I actually view that as simply bonus.
Secondly, even in youth leagues with poor play and poor partners, you can still use those games during the "off-season" to work on mechanics. Call a sharp game with sharp mechanics and hustle, even in these games, and it will be enjoyable.
Until the parents start yelling.
