Coach, it is really simple.
Have your parents and coaches sign a sportsmanship contract, any behavior that is unacceptable is not tolerated, if they can't live up to it...well bye,bye.
The kids won't learn the good things sports can bring if their parents and coaches set a poor example. It makes it less fun for the kids, a pain for you and the officials, as well as the parents and coaches who do have things in perspective.
Set the bar high, don't flinch when you need to lay down the law, and you just may be surprised by how easy your Saturdays may become.
