Recruitment

[Mike Simonds]

In our high school association (we also do Pop Warner) we were thinking about having each Pop Warner team provide one adult (preferably a coach) to join our association, learn the rules, hold the chain for varsity, and work some Pop Warner and JV.

We are close to the President of the Pop Warner League and he was presented with this idea for his consideration.

We see the same problem over here. I'm the second or third youngest guy in our association of about 30 officials. And I'm 43 years old! There will be shortage of officials within the next 5 to 10 years unless we start the pipeline flowing again.
