Why is this limitation necessary? This could be dangerous..if someone is operating in an official capacity but not a member of an association, they wouldn't be covered under this clause. It is possible the limitation was necessary to prevent the misuse of this law during pick-up games and other playground-type activities. However, what if John Smith was once a member of an organization, had to quit, but happened to attend a game that came up short an official? He volunteers to help out, then is assaulted by an irate player. Would he be covered? By this wording, he wouldn't be.
