[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rec teams are no longer for learning the sport and having fun. They are filled with competitive parents who are screaming from the sidelines constantly. I ran into a mom the other day at  basketball game and she told me she can’t watch the game because it causes too much stress. .. this is rec basketball [/quote]

:shock: Oh Lordy. What is she going to do during college applications if she can't handle rec sports?

The worst experiences for refs getting abused is rec basketball [/quote]

Why [/quote]

More screaming from parents, coaches with no ability to control parents and coaches who barely know what they are doing. At the travel level, a coach can tell parents to be respectful or find another club for their kids. Our kids have played on several AAU and county teams and every coach has had some sort of policy and I've seen a kid kicked off because his mom couldn't keep her mouth shut. I think refs are also much quicker to give coaches technical fouls in travel [/quote]
