[quote=Anonymous]Some of these threads got me thinking back to some ridiculous drama I've seen over the years but one of my favorites to this day remains a rec soccer game for what I guess would be considered U5/6-back when things were birth year, the teams were younger kindergartners and older Pre-Kers.  They play 4v4, in an elementary school back field marked by cones, with pop up goals and no goalies and no refs, just parent volunteer coaches on the fields with the kids.

No goalies, as I said, but one coach dad had one of his 4 players stand in front of the goal the whole game anyways.  He didn't use his hands or anything so technically, according to the rules (lol) maybe this was allowed?  Seemed boring for the kid standing there the whole game but maybe he wanted to?  Bottom line is, who cares.  No one, right?  WRONG! Because the kid was a larger kid, the opposing team didn't end up scoring any goals since the kid was blocking the net. Not that anyone is even supposed to keep score in this game, the kids are 4 and 5 years old.  But after the game the two dad coaches, plus one or two other dads, got HEATED.  Screaming, the one coach accusing the other coach of cheating and using a goalie and blocking the net, the other coach screaming that it was totally legal and that's how you win games, by blocking shots. Other dads joining in debating the validity of this strategy, one mom pulling her husband back by the sleeve of his shirt and begging him to calm down.  Kids all running around togehter with juice boxes and goldfish, happy as can be on the playgound, none of them giving a flying F about soccer.  It was amazing to watch.
