the stress that we put on these 6 yrs old kids, is tremendous.
I would say it's not exclusively confined to the 6U age group.
you are right, but this incident was 6u! you know i refereed a tourney in missouri earlier this year. coach #1 was "questioning" every call made, by all refs. last match of the day, he climbs over the table to go after the other kida coach. someone afterwards said, the reason he was arguing calls all day is that he is a referee!! are you kidding me, this guy not only gets to referee matches, but coach as well. wow, his poor son was devastated after the match. i told him that none of this was his fault, and that he had wrestled well all day. both wrestlers kept wrestling, hard and shook hands and embraced after the match, i told them that their coaches could learn more from them that vice versa. what a shame. i hate to hear about this stuff, but seems like instead of getting better it gets worse every year.
