I worked some youth rec game with a guy I know and at about 4 min before the game started he looked at me and said: "watch this". He called for a Capt/Coaches Mtg. In that meeting he told the boys to hustle after the ball if it went in the corner and to have fun. He told the Coaches that they are responsible for the sportsmanship of themselves, their players and their fans. Any questions. Both Coaches said nope and we started the game. We worked 3 games and in 2 of them, there was out of control parents. We went to the Coach and reminded him of our meeting. Coach went and took care of it and now alot of us have that same meeting. Seems to be moving thru the ranks and games are alot more fun for everyone.
