It's because of situations like this that I always, even in the championship game of a tourney, I developed this as my standard pre-game with the coaches.
After introductions and lineup cards,
Coaches, I want a good clean fight, no hitting above the belt. Slide, go around or give yourself up, I get hard torso to torso contact I have a judgment call to make, take that outta my hands, you all have to go to work tomorrow.
Hustle in and hustle out, no clock issues OK?(if playing with a clock)
We got kids here, that's a good thing, let's keep the colorful language under our breaths or better yet come up with a team word, I myself say maalox in those situations, get's the point across and offends nobody. You don't want Timmy telling his grandma the new word he learned at the game.
Coaches, you are the only ones I want to see out here arguing a call. Complaining will get absolutely no call changed, appealing might, go to, not, yell at, the blue that made the call.
(insert ground rules for the park)
Remind your players and home take the field!
