Mano a mano...

It's odd how adults in a group of walkons have no complaints until a few "experienced" players show up. Everything is fine as long as they rule the field by way of their size and adult status. Throw in a couple of regulars and suddenly the adults start whining. They're getting hit more often, not stealing as many flags and having to watch their "six" more regularly.

What's not odd is how the younger players in the group react. They are not intimidated. In fact, they are relieved to have someone join the game and ease the pressure. I don't have to worry about tournament players scaring off business. I don't allow tournament level play on my field. On the other hand - it's the Dads I have the most trouble with.
