do youth games anymore unless I know there are police or administrators on site to take care of problems like this. High School or junior high games are no problem, but some of these youth leagues let the inmates run the asylum.

Glad to see you are handling bad behavior appropriately in your league, and while I feel most youth leagues do like you there are unfortunately a rising number of leagues with problems. I think soccer is getting to be the worst, as a lot of leagues have 15-year olds officiating 10 and under leagues, and a lot of those teenagers are getting intimidated by parents with almost no outside supervision. Officials can't officiate the games AND babysit rude parents as well.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
