What was it doing?

Is your field permitted?

I’d call the police. No question at all.

Ask it to join the team? It has to be better than some of the players you have.

I wouldn't give a shit about the dog. If the owner refused to leave, then that is a different story.

4G?

let me guess, it snatched one of the balls and punctured it with its teeth

It's disruptive to the coaching. Kids might be afraid. I would stop practice and tell the parent to leash the dog or leave. No questions.

Most fields in FFX county have no pets signs up. Too many bad possibilities can happen. If your club holds the permit snap a picture or hit record on the phone and call both the police and the county. It will save the club , the county , and possibly the dog owner from lawsuits if anything does happen.

I’d call the police. The person is trespassing.

Dog not with player’s family. A nearby resident likely.

Get the dog a player hard- it has heart and speed that you just can’t teach

Call animal control and tell them there is an unleashed dog menacing children at the field. That will get them to respond pretty quickly.

Is this a repeated issue or a one-off? If it’s happening consistently I’d call the local animal control office and ask for their guidance.
