Hence I am trying to recruit new officials for the upcoming season.
I am marketing on Facebook, and locally used websites. I have also e-mailed the contacts I have in both the athletic department and others I know on the campus of the local university trying to recruit students for this paid hobby.
I am looking for other ideas that you all may have. I know flyers are an option and I may have to do that I just do not have the time to go around time hanging them.
Anyway let me know the ideas you have as I am stressing, but luckily I have a month until league and tournaments start so I do have time.
Thanks

First of all, NEVER refer to officiating as a hobby, it is not, it is a business for those who are paid.
How about current or recently retired players of fiends of theirs?
How about friends/relatives of other umpires?
