Is it clipping when a ball carrier is being pursued by a tackler, and the tackler is brought down from behind by the ball carrier's team, with first contact about knee level?
Hmm tackled from behind at about knee level...

You've changed your description of this "clip" 3 times now. And we're supposed to believe your giving us an unbiased account of what happened at this game. If what you have told us about the officiating of this game is even 50% true, you have legitimate complaint. Take it to the head of the youth group with a video of the game. But don't come on here and tell us how we officials don't care. The officials on this board love what they do and are on here to better themselves. Regardless, you must realize at the 8-9 age group level, you are going to get officials that are new and still learning the rules. It's a fact (I guess it could happen), NFL & NCAA officials will not be working these games. I'm sure you were perfect as a coach from the start, but it takes us officials several games to reach your level. Stop crying and go coach your kids and please remember to teach them to have fun.
