If you can produce teams with about the same win-loss record as "the other guy", and let the girls enjoy that, you'll definitely win the war in the long run.

Starting your own league is definitely an option, but the problem of finding quality coaches will remain. ...
As for won-loss records, those are for parents and some of the players. The bottom line is whether or not you are getting good competition and good experience. If you coach right, the W-L usually takes care of itself over time, but not always at the outset. W-L is NOT the object at this age, player develpment is the only real goal.

Hawks' Coach -- I agree 100% about win-loss record. I was assuming that the original team was pushing very hard for win-loss, and not making it, and that another team could do just as well, thus demonstrating that the abusive tactics weren't "working".
I wan't saying Jellybeads should start a new LEAGUE, just a new team, or club. If the dad would pull out of the club, too, and coach his daughter's team, I would think it would make a strong statement, and might facilitate a big change in the community over all.
