It seems like a lot of us are in the same situation. I have 2 sons (5 years apart) and they both played soccer and basketball -- I also officiated soccer for almost 25 years. I arranged my schedule around their schedules and it worked out just fine. If they were both playing at the same time, my wife would go to one game and I went to the other. We reversed that the next time they played on the same date.
In my association, you are not allowed to officiate at any school where you have children attending. My wife works in the guidance office at the city HS here (only 1 in town) and I do not officiate at that school. However, I have done scrimmages there. The BV coach is a friend of mine and he told me he liked it when I did the scrimmages and wished I would do some of the regular season games. I told him I just wouldn't feel right about it.
