Nobody is going to care about the outcome of a 6th grade girl's (or boy's) game. When are you coaches going to learn that no one working those games is worried about the outcome of these games? Of course the players and parents would like to win and have a fair game, but these kids will forget about the game in a year (or much less of time). No one is going to be talking about 20 years from now about some traveling game when they were that young. No coach is going to make the hall of fame coaching those teams or that level. The officials are not going to remember the outcome or care as their career progresses. I understand that you want to win and you want to have the game called fairly, but who really cares? I read these stories all the time about how the officials screwed a team and the last time I checked there is no money riding on these games. Las Vegas does not have a line on the local travel league. You are lucky if you get just a warm body to work these games. And as official like I continue our career, your attitude as a coach is the very reason I would not want to waste my time working your games.

Let it go. Who cares what the officials said. No one is going to remember after the season anyway.

Peace
