It's all fun and games until the Under10 tournament

Aster and Dianthus ended their rec league soccer seasons with a big tournament a few weeks ago.

Two otherwise really fun soccer seasons ended with parents loudly questioning Aster's volunteer coach's* decision to focus on letting kids score goals rather than defend, accusations of cheating by different coaches in group texts, and players supposedly trash talking another coach because she's female.  After a 5-1 loss in a gritty wind in the finals, Dianthus 's last act was hearing his coach complaining about an unfair call.

Ugh. 

Fun games are no longer fun and games when it gets like that.

*That would be the Mister.
