I'm saying in a rec league be happy if they all have numbers.

I would be more happy if they have numbers on the front of the jersey too haha. The two different biddy leagues I regularly officiate, they only have numbers on the back. I'm sure this is to save on money, which I don't blame them. But there's something uneasy about telling little boys and girls "turn around" so I can get their number.

True, and while some catch on, it's often comical to try to walk around behind the kid to read the number, only to have him turn around and around and continue to face you.

Did it all summer during Rec League. ARGH!

My son's current team has dark purple jerseys with black numbers.....no way to see the numbers unless you're within a few feet of the player. Brilliant choice by the league!

Better than saying, "Turn around so that I can get a better look at you".
