I have had parents approach me after games on a few occasions, but nothing physical ever happened. There is very little control of parents in these rec leagues. No matter how hard they try.
I know of an official who is a friend of mine that was assaulted during a game. It was his first season. He was working a girl’s 8th grade game. His partner no showed, so he worked it by himself. Girl’s games at the level can be rough with two officials let alone one inexperienced one. The play was very physical and the parents where all over him. At one point in the third quarter, one of the girls father came out of the stands and shoved the official to the floor. No one cane to his aid. Not the coaches, not the other parents, no one.
