Dad needs to keep his hands off the children...
From a philosophical standpoint, (this is something I have learned in education classes, and teachers here, feel free to chime in), by restraining one kid you are putting him at a disadvantage, and YOU could be held liable if he gets hurt.
Instead, try to interject youself in between until another adult (ref in this case) can come. Then you can walk both of them away.
But that's for your dad...
As for you, I would have been more concerned with getting in there and walking the other participant of the fight away... things like this, sometimes whacking a T just makes it worse, and it can turn on you. Get them to their benches and under their coaches control. Then huddle with your partner and talk about what to do next in terms of T's...
Others perhaps can shed better light on it...
