I coach that age group too and we have two space cadets on the team. I always make sure they are not on the field at the same time. If you play 4 different periods that makes it a quarter, shake the haters. One question I have is why the hell do you have a referee for that age group?
Do yall have practices? Try breaking them up into different groups if you have anyone that is helping you. We have 8 people on our team and there is no way you can keep all their attention at the same time. We break them up into 4 and do things that are fun to little kids that involve kicking and dribbling the ball. Get their parent to stand in the goal and tell the kids they have to hit their parent. You go first and show the kids how to do it. The kids love it and you get to kick the ball at any a-hole parents you have on your team. WIN/WIN situation

i learned that about 2 of them last night. i'm recommending to the coach that we never let them play together again.
We have 10 kids that we split up between two games 3v3 with 2 subs on each team across 2 fields. i was actually kinda pissed that he took the 3 girls to his side because the girls and my son are the only ones who can dribble and hence, score.

we do practice and it's just as much a ****show, but we do work on those things. our parents sit on the side and just kinda stare at us. kids will be balling for their moms and they just sit there smiling.
