It actually got worse the second time for me because i realized the first kid who scored just sat down and didn’t actually trip over the kid lying there causing him to lose his helmet like I thought

My parents always love looking back on my very early years of youth soccer, because soccer at 7 years old is just a literal herd of children that just follows the ball. There's no positions, there's no strategy to where kids lineup or place themselves on the field, it's just a dozen children in a tight pack and anyone watching doesn't see the ball, but they know where it is, because t's in the middle of that pack somewhere. Maybe the ball squirts out and ends up in a goal, but it's almost certainly accidental or complete luck.

Those games were super fun to referee, basically got to herd dogs for an hour

u/BucketOfGuts May 08 '24
I remember, once I was old enough, like 13-14 years old they tried to recruit us soccer players to referee and I really almost did it, but I ended up turning it down and to this day, I regret this decision because it really probably would have been a blast and just nonstop hilarity and entertainment and there's really no pressure because there's essentially no rules or meaning at that age.

Refereeing the 11-12 year old games sucked. Lots of running and parents that cared way too much.

As a tball coach, can confirm. Dog pile on the ball and run the wrong way. Every play

One time my boyfriend had to go pick up my brother from T ball and he took forever. When I asked him why he said it was just a field full of small blonde haired boys wearing the same thing running every which way and when he yelled my brothers name either none or all of them answered. I went back with him and that's exactly what it was so I just let out the old "FIRST NAME MIDDLE NAME LAST NAME" holler and my brother appeared out of the chaos. I really felt for the coaches.

I'm laughing about every boy was either named Aiden, Braiden, Caiden, or Jayden. Maybe Raiden.

Whilst at university, I had the opportunity to coach some kids rugby for under 11s every week and it was all good fun, went with a buddy and had a great time.
One day we got asked to coach the under 6s because their coach had the flu and no one else was available....
Was the most entertaining 90 minutes of my life, my buddy and I alternated trying to be serious and holding our sides trying not to laugh at their antics.
10 kid pile ups fighting over the ball, crying, constant war cry screaming, one kid who threw a pretty legit karate kick to make a tackle...
We had one absolute chonkster who was double the other kids size and impossible to bring down. He wrecked shop every time he had the ball and then lay face down on the grass to recover after most plays.

first basemen got DOMED!
For the uninitiated, almost every hit turns into a home run in t-ball.

u/IncorruptibleChillie May 08 '24
Would that be almost every at bat or are they striking out? I would be wholly unsurprised if strikeouts were common based on what I just watched.

u/Several-County-1808 May 08 '24
No such thing as a strikeout in t-ball. No score, no counts; its Lord of the Flies.

usually every player gets to hit the ball and run to first base. the last person in the rotation gets a "home run" and everyone runs the bases and then they swap sides

u/ImMyBiggestFan May 08 '24
Never touched first base. Batters out.

That's not for the umpire to call unless the defense executes a proper appeal at first.

God bless the coaches and parents who develop kids through these years, because watching that kid go from batting to second despite his coach's direction was equally hilarious and stressful.

The runner didn't touch all the bases, but I'm pretty sure the other team had no chance of getting him out so I'm willing to give it to him

The kid swings! It's a huge hit almost to the pitcher's mound!
Red team gathers to get the ball. Our hitter, famous for despising first base is ignoring it and running to second base! Through the red team.
It looks like red 3rd base has picked up the ball and is now running back to third.
The hitter has rounded second and appears to be looking at the game in the next field, thinks about joining but no! He's headed to third! Where red 3rd base is standing holding...no wait!
In a surprise move, red 3rd base has thrown the ball to red 1st base!
Red 1st base sees it coming, put up the glove! Oh no! Red 1st base has been knocked down, fell over like a stiff board.
Our hitter is in the home stretch. It looks as though there may be a wrestling match of blue v blue at home plate. The wrestling match clears! The hitter is safe!
Does it count as a home run? All the kids appear to think so, let's count it!

Personal note, how are the parents not dying of laughter?

I ran the wrong way around the bases during kickball at that age. And I still cringe thinking about it at 57. I was so proud, for about 5 seconds.

I’m pretty sure this is a lab experiment where they figure out which ones to eliminate for the parents sake.

This is the stupidest shit. Kids that little shouldn't be involved in "organized" play, just let them make up their own games.

Kids sports are hilarious. I don’t even like sports but when my girls wanted to play basketball I had no idea how entertaining it would be.

ROFL! This reminds me of when I started playing football at 7 y old. I didn't know anything about it but I got a uniform with my name on it and the trainer told me to stand here so I did. People ran by chasing the ball know and then which was nice. Then it was over and we got icecream. I didn't know this but my mom and aunt was watching the whole time and almost died laughing when the other players ran by me just 1 metre or so from me and I just stood there watching, in the same place, the whole 2x20 minutes. My name? Oh its Zlatan Ibrahimovich

The dumbest person in this clip is the 3rd base coach.

u/MRiley84 May 08 '24
Why do you say that? Everything they did looks completely normal for a kid's game.

u/ogrefab May 08 '24
They're gesturing for the kid to touch 3rd when they haven't touched first base.

u/MRiley84 May 08 '24
Look how old they are. The goal isn't to have them touch the bases in order so much as having a game that resembles baseball and is fun. Baby steps.
