This happened multiple times and the refs didn’t call it, not just once which I could rewrite off as a “football play”

it doesnt get easier with age, either.
Still enduring it now with three multisport HS kids. And they all go to private school! Cant buy class, it seems.
Girls bball is particularly raucous, depending on the team.
But it does build resilience in them.

on a higher level of athleticism when most couldn't catch a ball with their face from three feet away. Then the parents complain to the coaches about poor Timmy and his IEP, which absolves him from all lay-human accountability. Of course, it's fine because the coach is a relative or some super-douche susceptible to poor manipulation.
It does NOT get better with age either. The only thing I can say is to learn how to calm your urge to throttle both children, parents and officials for the next 10 years. It's a work in progress for me, but I know where you are coming from.

right way. You play by the rules and don't create any issues, but still get the shit-end of the stick.
It's just going to happen, I promise. Whatever you have to do to deflate the moment is what's important then, but overall, you have to figure out a way to let your kids feel the sting even when you're 199% right. Doing it for them sets a precedence and no kid wants yo see their parent get in trouble because of them. I promise.

But agree in jeneral.
Before the home subsidies were put into action the percentage of households without a father were well below 15 percent or .15% maybe its 15.00%... idk my decimels nor frackshuns.
After subsidies like paying single parent homes with "FI" (family income - a cash payment made directly to the single parent), rent subsidies, food subsidies, $3000 per child paid at the end of year on top if any tax return (put in under the guise of a tax credit for 2 parent homes to lessen the burden! Funny right!!! I'm laughing l, not! But I do seem to see a plethora on "new to u buy here pay here cars right after tax season with temp tags on the rd!" and so many other Ludacris (decent wrapper) incentives for our poorer female population to not marry the man they love due to all the FREEEEEEE MONEY MONEY MONEY that will go away. This has brought single parent framily rate to over 50 percent!!!
Just imagine!
The people . . . Living in the worl..... my bad. Song stuck in my head.
So many of the youth have no fathers to teach them. I'm not an apologist.
@ hits like... your an awesome man being right there when your son is the lime light for good things happening and life lessons like that dirty ### bully. Talking about the refs too!
Ebush i like ur name. If its what I'm imagining then tmail me so we can talk more freely!

He called it a legal tackle. That same kid did the same thing the next play to my guy and another no call… it’s as much on the ref for not setting the tone on what they will allow.

Life lessons should be taught from the beginning of life and onward. The coach and ref are not doing this kid any good and someone could get seriously injured. This kid needs to learn to change his ways now or life is not going to go his way.

Not only do you have refs who refuse to discipline the kids but these Little leagues have a terrible time even finding refs to officiate the games and many are wannabees that do not have a clue about the rules, the game and some never even played in their own youth. Too many refs and Little League Coaches view their duties as their way of "giving back" and should be lauded for wanting to do so. However, there are so many that just want to be a part of the game and were never very good at it to begin with, so they live their dreams through those little kiddos. Sad.

Too bad the ref didn't recognize the opportunity to teach the kid there are consequences to doing the wrong things. Giving the kid a pass because of his home life is not doing him any favors in the long run.

immediately take the field with all calmness. Proceed to kick (and follow through) the reproductive area of said bully so they do not have the ability to reproduce ever. Also keep a nice set of channel locks in your back pocket and see how many teeth you can remove.
When the police drag you away (after resisting with deadly force) then start yelling, "I'll keel all you mthr effers!" "I'll be out in the morning you poosies and I will burn your houses starting with the doors and windows and your little basterds will know effed up!"

Kid is primal and overpowers everything else. BUT, an 8 year old brain is FAR from developed and like what , 2/3rds the size of an adult brain. So, that’s why adults should be in charge.

Agreed. I was just saying I wanted to as this kid did what he did and then was talking #### to me for just screaming “face mask”…. I did light the red up, but felt dirty wanting to scream at an 8 year old… but didn’t. Even after the game his momma brother and him were chirping at me, I didn’t say a thing but man… I wanted to go into them.

Option: have a talk with the Parents of your team's players, show them the video
1
Oct 21, 2023, 3:51 AM
|

Let them know what you're going to do in advance.
Check your emotions! Completely. If you cannot do so, don't even let your player start the game.
If you're just the Parent, the next time your kid takes this unrestrained abuse, simply take him off the field. Thank your Coach for understanding, and any Parents you see on the way out. Promise to return to Practice at the next scheduled Team opportunity.
If you're the Coach, take the entire Team off the field, tell the Parents that the next Practice is at the regular time, and leave. Do not engage the other team at all.
One game is not worth bad sportsmanship or increased risk of injury. One game can be replaced for your kid 1000 times over.
Don't worry about records or championships or anything of the sort. Let other Parents do what they want without your input (sentiments will likely run against you, but ignore them). If you're the Coach, let other Parents know that they can be moved to another Team if they want. The 1.5% will likely do so.
Understand that your capitulation to the in-game Power of the Referees is the Only authority they have over you. Don't engage them after the first conversation about what is happening. Let their idiotic comment be the last thing that is said. Let your Actions guide how everyone feels about you, and be the last thing that everyone remembers - including your child.
This is YOUR child. YOU have the Power at all times. Do not let others groupthink how you handle stuff. Set your own limits and live them.
Best.... and prayers.

I understand your position... I see it as the ref not doing the boy a service. You don't learn without accountability, regardless of your situation.
As others have said,,, get ready... I have four kids... 2 girls and 2 boys. They played all sports and have so many memories,,, all of them good.
I will say in basketball,,, you got to watch the girls...when mine got fouled, there would be a retribution foul coming,, everytime.....

I guess kids of single parent homes don't have to know right from wrong and follow rules? I can understand there are circumstances where a kid will need guidance and given a second chance, but in this case, the coach is totally at fault for not teaching and enforcing the rules of the game and life. Where will this youngster be in 10 years?
My first football coach taught us the rules, how to be better young men and to have each others backs. The last year under him, his last coach talk to us at the end of the season was about learning, growing and giving back.

It is insane. You can’t always coach and help a bully. However you can coach someone on how to handle being bullied.
I’m a great example. I was always bigger than my classmates and a target for older kids. I had a great set of role models at a young age that taught me how to deal with them.
Those lessons help me even today. There are sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. I’m a sheepdog and we do things like post on TigerNet to help others deal with bullies. 😃
Now, for that blind and indifferent ref, I’m sure you’ll find a good way to handle him.

Tough not to get mad about that but one day all those take downs might come back and help your kid get back up when you aren't able to be there. Things like this stay on our subconscious and help us overcome later and in life. Just speaking from experience of being bullied and becoming better from it, and it pushed me through basic training and earning a degree

The ref is obviously a judge in our judicial system these days. That philosophy of coddling bad behavior is destroying the fabric of society. If you want more bad behavior, just approve of it by not penalizing the perpetrators. Works like a charm. Sounds like the ref has confused helping a young man grown into a good citizen with letting him get away with murder, which he eventually will get around to. Sad, how supposed educated, intelligent people have become so confused about properly raising children.

I did go off on the ###### ref who continued to not throw flags when an out of control 8 year old continuously almost broke my sons neck right in front of his face, literally right in front of it multiple times— and had he thrown one flag he would have potentially deterred the kid or made the coach tell the kid to stop. I was asking if I’m insane for wanting to yell at a ###### dirty 8 year old for violently attacking my sons neck and head and then talked #### to me and the rest of the coaches and team. I get it, reading is hard.
