High school sporting events, fans and referees.

I played what they would call “Rec -ball” or “Peewee” or “community” league in the late 80s early 90s. Then eventually played what I would call “real” travel ball in my early teens the rest of the way out. Now I coach “travel” ball for my son’s 13yr old team. I know we all remember ourselves as unstoppable athletic forces ?, but my “community” team that I played on would legit run rule the team I coach and many of the teams we face. I believe this is a real reason for the decline in HS baseball (as a team sport-I know the individual players are many times better now), the kids don’t play together growing up. There are usually 3-4 groups of 3-4 kids that played together that finally group up as a team as Freshman.

Definitely frustrating to see the decimation of community ball. Then you ask most of these parents and they despise the “travel” baseball season ?. But hey, gotta be able to say little Johnny is the ace pitcher on a “travel” baseball team that has never been in the winners bracket for tournament play.

SPOT ON.
 
Wrestling cleanses itself,imo. My sons excelled. The loud mouth parents caused their kid to be taken to the woodshed. The nasty, mean wrestler got taken to the woodshed and then some. Upper level kids have respect for the sport, for the most part. Average wrestlers were shown respect. The elite kids usually set a good example. Parents shut up when Johnny gets taken to the shed.
 
It is about site admins not having "balls" as one response said. I sat in a b-ball game, nutjob didnt seem to be with anyone, f and mf bombing, walking up and down the aisles, threatening the refs, threatening people in the stands, throwing crap. No one official did a thing, was even keeping an eye on the stands. I went to the off-duty officer/alum/game security and pointed the guy out. Azzhat told ME to move. ?

Everyone and their mothers are scared of litigation for just about anything nowadays.

Ouch. It does help to know people. We had a disturbance in front of our pressbox last Friday, two sets of parents (all for same school) screaming and cussing at each other. We got on the radio for our AD to send the gendarmes up pronto. They got there about a minute later, and walked all four out of the stadium without incident.

On the road, our admins always make a point of being near the visitor sidelines. A few years ago, we had a parent who was always yelling from the stands how his son should get the ball more often. At an away game he went off the deep end, went onto the track and was about 10 feet from the coaches, yelling. Fortunately, our superintendent, our AD, and our 6' 10" PR guy walled him off and walked him out of the area, then banned him from school property and all events. Never saw the guy again.
 
Sebring McKinley football head coach Matt Seidel and an assistant placed on leave pending investigation

SEBRING – Sebring McKinley High School football head coach Matt Seidel and an assistant coach remain on paid leave following an argument involving a player's parent during the team's Oct. 15 game against Western Reserve High School.

Superintendent Toni Viscounte suspended Seidel and assistant coach Dalton Smith last week from their coaching assignments pending an internal investigation, according to documents obtained by The Canton Repository through a public records request.

The coaches are prohibited from district property and cannot discuss the situation, according to the documents.

Seidel and Smith both said they cannot speak about the incident until after the team'sseason ends. The Trojans will play their final game of the year at 7 p.m. Friday against Leetonia.

What happened at the Sebring football game?

Deputies with the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office responded to an argument that broke out around 9 p.m. during the Oct. 15 football game at Western Reserve Stadium.

Deputy Joel Gensler saw a Sebring football coach remove his shirt while shouting at another man on the other side of the track fence in the stadium, according to an incident report from the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office.

Gensler then saw a man approach the sideline from the visitors bleachers, shouting profanities at the coach. He and Deputy Bryan Brooks attempted to break up the argument, and the man, who is a parent of a Sebring football player, shouted profanities at the deputies. The deputies told the man to leave, according to the report, but he refused.

Meanwhile, the man's son shouted profanities at the coaches and began walking toward the stadium gates, according to the account of Detective Sgt. Anthony Murphy. Gensler and Brooks were still dealing with the player's father, and the player appeared "agitated," according to the report. Murphy followed him and attempted to calm him down.

"At this time I was approached by a Sebring coach who said that the player could not leave with his equipment and requested him to leave it on the sideline," Murphy said in the report.

Murphy advised the player to return his equipment to the sideline. As he escorted the player back, the report says Seidel shouted at Murphy, telling him to get off the sideline and take the player back to the locker room.

"I advised the athletic director that I took the player back to the sidelines at the request of one of the coaches and that the head coach's behavior towards me was completely inappropriate and the staff needed to get on the same page," Murphy said in the report.

The player and his father eventually left the stadium. The player's father received a criminal trespass warning and was told by deputies not to come back to the property, according to the report.

The player's parent could not be reached for comment.

Viscounte and Sebring athletic director Brian Clark did not return to requests for comment.
 
So....we play this same team on their field Sat. One set of stands. Thinking I should call the sheriffs dept. so they can have someone monitor the stands. They are going to be absolutely horrible.

Do you think that school will have some on hand already?
 
Talked with Soccer Official last night. Guy yelled out profanities at officials. Game was stopped and the guy was sent packing. This guy doesn't want to kick people out. It's tournament time and he feels the game is what matters the most. But, he will keep control of game and coaches.

There are some very disciplined refs out there. I've witnessed some really good reffing when it comes to player/fan conduct.
