Thumbs down

I've been watching the 2004 YBOA Nationals (mostly girls 15 & 17 U). The play is very rough. Several players have gone down and not gotten up. Many more have been bloodied, bruised and battered.

Some players actually appear to tackle (i.e., body slam) opponents. Others throw elbows in faces. One fell then intentionally rolled to severly injure an opponent with possession.

None of these occurences were penalized and I have not seen a single player control penalty enforced in the entire tournament.

Realistically speaking, is there anything that can be done to correct or improve this situation? I fear that the only alternative may be to drop YBOA.
