Number 10 You want to be an official of your child's sport because you believe that you can make better calls than other referees.
Number 9 You have your child practicing every night at home until after dark.
Number 8 You start talking about your games when you were a kid during your child's game.
Number 7 You start calling players on other teams names and make calls or noises when they're trying to focus.
Number 6 You call players on your child's team names or make calls or comments, hoping they'll mess up and your child gets more playing time.
Number 5 You coach your child's team and let your kid play more than others because you think he's better than anyone else on the team.
Number 4 You make your child cry before, during or after a game by your actions or comments toward him.
Number 3 Your child wants to quit playing and you want to keep coaching, telling him he's a quitter or a loser.
Number 2 You encourage your child to play with an injury or illness, telling him he's a loser or weak if he doesn't.
Number 1 You threaten your child, a player, another parent, coach or official with physical harm for any reason.
