He was sent to the hospital by ambulance.

During that delay in the game I saw that their subs increased from 7 to 9 with a couple others still in pads any from the team. We scored then they got the ball and had 2 long runs both brought Back for more blocks to the back. Another kid on our team got hurt and our coach called the game. Technically the score was tied but it's recorded as a loss right now.

The other team started calling our kids quiters and I was talking to the refs when the other teams coach heard me call his team cheaters. Then we started yelling at each other.

My thing is I have a 12 yr old and a 10 yr old. I know first had its extremely dangerous to put them against each other. It would be like putting a high school player against a middle school player.

The coach is going to log a complaint with the league hopefully they overturn the loss.

That flat out sucks. Youth sports should be about fun and sportsmanship. It's about teaching the kids teamwork, the game, and to get them out in the open air. It's not about stacking your team with ringers, encouraging cheap shots, and then crying foul when the other team is tired of seeing their players carted off.

The coach of the other team belongs in a jail somewhere.
