I have always felt that the craziest sports parents are those that have kids between the ages of 9 and 12. For a reason completely foreign to me, at this age the parents only see "potential" and not reality. The kids may be good, but not THAT good. The kids are also completely in parent-pleasing mode, so parental goals are easily transferred to the kids.
Don't worry though, as the kids get older, the parents of the kids who stay in rec are easy to deal with - they will hand them over to you and hope you will keep it fun for them (at least that has been my experience). It's the TB and school ball parents that take over the craziness!
