yes there were some parents that "encouraged" their children to play rough. another problem i ran into is parents thinking the same rules of contact were the same as football.

either i or the referee would warn the child or parent about playing rough either at the game or at practice. one of my games the referee ejected a parent off the field and after further confrontation threatened to call the police. ya it was a lot of fun and sometimes a big pain in the butt.

this kid had anger issues that were never addressed either at home or the playing field.
