Actually, here's my point. In that league, we try to achieve a sportsmanship level of 100%. If we can get the crowd to not yell at the refs regarding calls, it has that much more of a positive impact on the players. That's why we are "quick on the trigger" to admonish and even eject unruly spectators. The structure of this league mandates the following:
1) kids having fun
2) player safety
3) sportsmanship
4) respect for authority
5) improving skills
Parents yelling at refs is in conflict with numbers 3 and 4 and is not tolerated. BTW - the motto of the league is "Do Sports, Not Drugs". This league is for boys and girls in grades 3-12.
