What do you do if you have a guy out there that is actually trying to injure other players?

If he is on your team? YANK HIM. If he plays for the other team? I plead the 5th. Cause you are walking a delicate line.

Your player...see above..yank him before he does. Another team especially a scumbag coach, I say you gotta do what you gotta do to protect your kids..but call it to the ref's attention immediately.

Alright...I'll ask... What do you mean by "trying to injure" other players? Maybe I should have explained myself better. We had a Thursday game, I went to watch my brothers son play, I noticed that one kid kept diving at knees 20 yards away from the play and purposely grabbing peoples face masks to tackle them after long runs. I mean the refs were calling it but I was just wondering at what point do you just say "enough is enough" and either him get ejected or pulled by the coach. This kid was a sub so he wasn't in that much and to be honest it didn't happen very often but it still happened and I was just wondering how you guys would punish him.

Depending on the age group you are talking about, you never know how some kids are "wired." He could have some issues, and he is a sub who doesn't play much...

If he was an opponent and I was a player, I would handle it myself...I would hope my kids would do the same thing.
Our center/longsnapper two year starter got ejectedfor two games for taking matter into his own hands. In VA you miss the game you were kicked out of and then the NEXT TWO GAMES we are 5-0 and this might ruin a truly magical season. we'll see how we respond this week

You are not alone, but I played in the 70's. Every team in our league had there "enforcer" guys and when you saw them come into the game, you better have your head on a swivel.
Today's game has improved to the point that it is rare that a player is so Illegally dirty that retribution is needed. Back in the day, that was not the case and yes, the players took care of it on the field, most of the times.
