GB, you let the "kids"work the sections there?? PONY sanctioned stuff?? We team ours up with the vets for the "invitationals" for all-stars, so they get a taste, but the FDs here require 18 years of age to work sanctioned stuff.
The local high school association accepts 17 year olds for freshman level games.

Down here, the FED guy won't use anybody under 18, politicol BS fighting between the 2 assciations. That is why all our frosh/JV only use one ump, bummer for the kids playing FED ball at the PONY/COLT age. 1 ump for the school bragging rights and 2 for the summer ball......
