Fight at Youth Basketball Game

[yeti]

Did anyone hear about the parents fighting at a 3&4 grade basketball game? I believe this is a Recreation and Parks program.
I heard the call go out over the scanner but did not see any details in the paper.

Unreal.
2 years ago we had a parent charge the field during my sons football game. He actually jumped the fence and went after our coach. I just dont understand people.

Hmmm, that happened at my sons game too. I wonder if they played on the same team?

Someone emailed me and told me two parents attacked a 3&4 th grade coach at Lettie Dent. Two were arrested and the coach is no longer allowed to coach.

The email also said a coach chased a ref out in the parking lot at Leonardtown.... all over a kids game

What the heck is going on with R&P Basketball????

I wouldn't blame it on parks and rec......but people have lost their minds.


I coached soccer for 4 seasons with my kids........the parents were a total pain in the butt to deal with. All I ever heard was, "play my kid more", "you don't push the kids to win enough"

I had a pep talk with the parents on the first day of each season, I told them that I didn't care if the kids won a single game, they were there to learn the game, to be good sports (rather they won or lost) and to learn how to be a team. I gave out a game ball to each kid on the team (out of my own pocket) to inspire the kids to do well and it worked like a charm.

The problem is parents try to live vicariously through their kids.

These parents need to get a life and let their children be children. I know this... Odds are that these kids whose parents were fighting will end being the same kind of people... That is their example..
