Quote: Have not really seen any dirty teams here in the lowcountry..Some more aggressive than others but that's to be expected..We want our girls to play hard..right? I think most don't go on to the field with the attitude to hurt someone..These games can be fueled by poor coaching or refs letting the games get out of control...Soo..don't be afraid to whip that card out early in the match..sometimes that sets the tone for the rest of the match..Who spends endless hours with these girls every season? The coach..Pull that player off the field if she is mad and playing over aggressively...And let's not forget the parents..Can they create a hostile enviroment? Sure!! Seen it many times..Sit down..root for your team..Let the refs do their job whether you like the calls are not..And most important..Enjoy the game!!
Amen. A five minute time out for a player does wonders.
