Actually, this league is pretty well run - both administrators and officials. This one game was an extreme exception. I've worked the same area PeeWees for 3 years, and have never had a game quite like this one.
I think part of the problem here was the coaches - they made a lot more negative noise than usual, which enabled their parents to do the same (this is the first time we considered asking admin to clear the sidelines, although we decided against it). So the parents acting that way enabled the kids. Don't these folks have any clue that they are an example to the kids on the field? (I know - the obvious answer is no).
