With this being said the parents and coaches need to realize how they are taking the game to an unsafe and unsportsmanlike level.…

However, many of the kids only play a single sport, and the types of adults that either spectate or coach youth sports are mainly split into two opposing sides.

This can cause many problems for the child and can often be overwhelming.…
