I also coordinate officials for a youth league. Our league uses high school aged officials, most of whom came through our program. I train them on rules and officiating mechanics, organize them into crews and assign senior officials as the crew chiefs. I provide weekly feedback on performance.
I have 56 officials (we have 8 7 man crews, and have 4 on field and 3 holding the sticks), we pay each $20 per game.
While not perfect, I always get dedication and enthusiasm.
I would encourage you to look at this option for your league if you cannot get better stte certified officials to work for you.
