There are stories where parents compare their kids to others on the team in a very negative way. For example, a parent might say 'Why can't you run as fast as Johnny?' right after the game. This can seriously damage a child's self - esteem and make them dread going to little league games. Also, some parents might try to force their kids to play in certain positions even if the coach has a different plan, causing a lot of internal team strife.
In some cases, parents have been known to start physical altercations with other parents over disputes regarding the little league. It could be something as simple as an argument about whose turn it is to bring snacks, but it escalates into a full - blown fight. This not only scares the kids but also gives the whole little league community a bad reputation.
One horror story could be parents constantly yelling at the umpire over bad calls. They get so out of control that it ruins the game atmosphere for everyone. Their over - competitiveness makes the kids feel pressured and takes the fun out of the sport.
