I'm a commissioner for our local rec league, and the 6U parents and coaches are the worst. One evening this year, we had a 6U coach aggressively charge at the umpire and the AC from the other team had to step in before he got there. I've seen parents nearly get in fights over the scoreboard (the visiting team has to find some poor soul to run the scoreboard). We've had to repeatedly tell one coach that his infield can only be 10 feet in front of the bases, because he keeps moving them towards home plate. The players are being screamed at by the parents and coaches. Nobody knows the rules, and the confusion makes things worse. The only game I've been at when the cops were called was 6U. It seems like things level off more the older the kids get.
