It seems that, although this facility is non-profit, they don't want to take the chance of losing any paying spectators from returning and possibly have teams not sign up to play there in these "tournaments" because some kid's dad got tossed from a game.

I'm seriously considering not working there anymore when I balance the abuse we get vs. the relatively low pay scale there. It's too bad because I like to support community venues and programs like theirs - but there's enough games out there.
I'd walk away and not look back. Send a letter to their director (or whoever is the leader of the program) explaining why, and move on.

That's what I'd do, but you're a big boy, so take it for what it's worth.
