[quote=Anonymous]As a 15-16 year old I HAD to ref..yes it paid well ($75 per game cash back in early oughts) so we would clear $300 per day for basically a morning or afternoon. Straight cash, no 1099. 17-18 it was 1099 but was paid better. Now, no kid is going to give up half their likely only weekend day to sit through the abuse. And, with the new group of parents who have learned to outsource EVERYTHING there are none of the 4-5 parents each year who stepped up. This was happening well before COVID, but combined with the older refs leaving perhaps in part due to COVID it has just become worse. FWIW my high school required varsity players on every team to officiate youth sports in their town; some coaches still do and the town where I grew up has zero problems getting officials because of this. That isn't done here though. [/quote]
