As a parent of a 10 yr old that plays (we don't call it a traveling league but we do play a handful of local tournaments) and obviously an official also, I realize what type of people we're getting to officiate his games. Quite frankly, I am more than gracious to them as I know they'd rather be doing something else. I always make it a point to say thanks to them if our paths cross after the games. I even draw ire from the Mrs. when I call out a one of the parents for chastising any of the "brothers" during the game.
