Remind me why we do this again?

If that procedure goes through the assignor that is fine, but if it doesn't apply only to the assignor I would report this to governing body.

Rut,
It's a Catholic middle school city league. It is not governed by the state althelic associaition. This is my first year in this league, as I just moved to this area last summer.

OK. Thanks for the information, but the feeling stands. That is why I was broad about the advice to consider all the avenues of action as a possibility.

There's a reason a lot of us won't work private schools... generally (I'd say ironically, but perhaps not) the attitudes of players and coaches is as you described MUCH more frequently than at schools where the schools are not beholden to the parents. The schools tend to work around the state rather than within it, and that attitude pervades all of their activities. I work 4 sports, and I can say with confidence that I've had more problems per game at private schools than public in all 4 sports.
