I haven't done this my past two years of junior high coaching, but may do it this year. I coached high school for 8 years and know the value of information coming from the booth. Some will probably say it is not needed at this age level, but sometimes I would like to have a opinion of someone seeing the whole field. What do you guys think?

I could see the benefits of someone in a booth. But, the gains would probably depend a lot on who it is that you have in the booth. At Jr. High level, it would obviously be another coach employed by the school. At Youth football level, it might end up being a daddy or a 'daddy coach' who wouldn't really know what to look for to get your team the most benefit- unless you trained him.
In the first league I coached in all coaches were required to be on the sidelines. It was illegal to feed information to the coaches from the stands or a booth while the game was in progress. You were allowed to discuss anything that was seen from the stands during halftime, however. But, again, that information would have been supplied by one of the daddies. And, it was usually pretty useless information.

I am not sure if its even legal. I tried to stand on a hill once and got informed that it wasnt allowed. Id find out if its acceptable in your league and if the technology of radios is on one side, do you have to have it on both sides?

Anything Hard wired must be provided to Both sides....wireless let er rip.... Unless a special League rule is in Place..... I use past players that have Played for me and have moved to Varsity. They know me as a coach, as well know what I am talking about when I ask. As well it helps tie the Varsity to the Youth Programs....
