This is not about me personally. But all you are doing is whining like a baby like this was the NFL. These are kids. I work 3 sports and if I was as strict with the rules at the youth levels as we are with the varsity and college levels, we never end a game. You have to use some common sense as it relates to kiddy ball. I do not think your team was put at a great disadvantage because there were more than 11 in the huddle. That rule was put in place to help not deceive the defense as to who is on the field. I am sure kids that are 8 and 9 years old are not confused by who is on the field and who is not on the field by who is in the huddle. If you think it is, I guess you have been watching too much TV. I have yet to see the personnel group that complicated to figure out at that level. I wonder if you had more than one coach talking to the officials, should the officials have thrown the "assistants" out of the game because they were not the head coach. You realize that only the head coach can do certain things, should they flag you and throw them out for violating any part of that rule?

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Peace
