While I was waiting for my son’s game, next up on the same field, I caught the end of a B2010 Legends vs Beach semi-final at this weekend’s So Cal Winter Cup.
Beach were getting beat pretty handily, but with ten minutes to go, the parents’ phones started dinging with the news that Legends were being disqualified for “fielding numerous ineligible players” and Beach were through to the final regardless. Hilarity ensued.
Is that common though? No way I’d want some older kid taking one of our players’ spots so I’m surprised the parents allowed it. Seemed utterly pointless.
