You were hosed no matter how you look at it. But, I have to ask, what the heck are you doing with a 10yr old league, after 9 years experience.
You may have been a little too serious in your officiating for the level of ball you were doing. Yes safety is always important but, if you have enforcement problems, you should have discussed them with the league right from the outset. What is your rules and how tight do you want them enforced? If there answer was not to your liking, then you had the opportunity not to do their League.
Learning the rules at ten is important but, I guarantee you stopping for an ice cream after the game is just as important if not more important to a lot of those same kids.
I am not encouraging you not to worry about the safety of the coaches, players and yourself, but I think you just had a lesson in being over-officious.
Again, you were hosed but, I hope you gained insight in how to approach your next assignment.
