Certainly when I played Sunday League and at school we had linesmen. Junior school (<11yo) we played five-a-side rules really; you can't play on a full pitch for full duration at that age anyway.

We'd have kickabouts with more players (10+ on pitch) at senior school and play offside sometimes, occasionally someone would ref but more often it was reffing by consensus/honesty and with reduced players it was hard to get off-side to work, normally we'd just accuse someone of "goal hanging" and it would be enough.
