And sportsmanship should continue with the parents. If my kid ever pulls anything like that, I'll bench her myself.

Sad to say though, but even at the 5th grade level, I see kids with terrible sportsmanship. One of the teams that we face frequently has a player (coach's daughter) that routinely mouths off to the officials: "Are you kidding?", "No way did I travel!". I rarely see a warning, and never a T.

In this case, it is easy to see where it comes from. Her mother (the coach) keeps up a steady stream of chirping at the officials during the game. In the 3 years that we've played them, she's only been warned to quiet down once.
