Another thing to consider is that these are young athletes with limited strength, speed, and skills. Just because a game looks rough and a player ends up in tears, doesn't mean that there fouls need to be called. Often at this level players end up on the floor more because of their own actions that the actions of their opponents. Another thing to consider, if these were veterans working the game, they may be used to a higher level of play. I notice, even in my varsity games, when we go from a 3A game to a 1A game we look like we're letting everything go. It looks that way because we get used to bigger, stronger athletes that can play through some contact that weaker athletes cannot and some nights it is hard to adjust. I agree that if you have a legitimate concern, talk to the assignor, but these are points that may be relevant to your game.
