They are the ones who make bad examples by cursing the Umps and Refs. and even doing bodily harm. They really set a prime example for the Kids dont they?
If a ban on parents is not in the cards, make sure that there are stiff penalitys for actions taken.

Tom, many leagues, especially rec leagues, will ban parents for inappropriat behaviour.
However, this situation has nothing to do with the parents. The parents were acting on what they thought was in the best interest of their children. All they wanted was their kids to have fun, which they weren't. The league thought it took the best approach.
In this situation I blame the coach of the team that got booted out. He knew his kids were in a rece league, he knew his kids were too god to be playing in the league. He should have told his kids to hold back so that the other teams could compete. In a rec league that is the best course of action.
