    I received the following story from a fellow official.
    I'm sure anyone who's played, coached, officiated, or watched a ULittle soccer game would appreciate it also:

    At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 7-year-old players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"

    The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

    "Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"

    The little boy nodded yes.

    "So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when a foul is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the referee, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?"

    Again the little boy nodded.

    He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb *********************' is it?"

    Again the little boy nodded.

    "Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your mother."
