Given what I've seen of various youth sports over the past decade, a reduction in them is probably a good thing.
The atrocious officiating makes many of them unwatchable more often than not, and the young ones are among the worst.
Granted I grew up in a small town but I could probably still name every umpire we ever had for youth baseball, only one ever under the age of 40, and while there were bad calls, there was virtually zero concern about those being anything other than honest human error.
Those days are sadly long gone.
