I have done 9-10 year olds and we had 3 officials at the very least. I have worked a Catholic Middle School League the last 3 years and we always had 3 officials and sometimes 4 when we could find someone willing to work.

The only time I have seen the Pop Warner Leagues or Bill George Leagues have less then 3 are when they play like the "Mighty Mites." Those kids are around 6 or 7 years old and can hardly stand up with all the equipment they are wearing. In those games you are really not there to officiate, you are just there to make sure everyone is safe.

Anyone have more information ??

Were there other incidents--cheap shots/penalties for unescessary
roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct in that game prior to the
cheap shot that precipitated things ???
Had that player committed similar penalties in that game or
previous games ??
I'm curious.

The jerk has been charged with a misdemeanor.
