Now that does appear to have a major possibility of conflict of interest. You might have personally known 75% of one team as well as all of the coaching staff.
I worked a game this year where there were supposed to be a couple of guys playing for the visitors who I had worked kids games with a few weeks earlier. It turned out one of them didn't play because of an injury and the other had a neck injury during the game and didn't play any more.
I wasn't worried about working a game with players who I had previously officiated with but it was unusual.

One last point, I never played football in my life.
Before I started reffing I didn't even know what off-side was :p |
