I don't do many youth rec games. But what has happened here is that the rec. dept. has contracted with the state association soccer assignor to provide officials for all rec sports. He's been able to get a lot of HS guys to work the rec leagues. Through have stronger officials and stronger penalties for stupidity. we've pretty much cleaned up our rec leagues.
I worked two 15-17 y/o games yesterday morning, my first of the year, and had zero problems. The only Ts issued were for an attempted dunk in pre-game and delay of game.
