In my experience with recreational sports and my children, we have had many a different scenerio based on the coach, the kids, and the parents on each individual team. Some expreiences have been fun and lighthearted others have had screaming parents on the court or field. I just try and tell my own children to have fun out there and do their best. I think it's our job to give our children the right message. There are rules in place for misconduct and expulsion during a game. It has happened a few times in my son's basketball games.
There is a book out now on just this issue that has been discussed on Good Morning America recently. It's called "Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads : Dealing with the Parents, Teachers, Coaches, and Counselors Who Can Make--or Break--Your Child's Future" by Rosalind Wiseman, Elizabeth Rapoport, if you are interested in looking into this issue further.
