If you've ever had a child play in youth sports...and it doesn't seem to matter which sport, there is always some parents that go too far and end up bickering with the umpire/referee/judge.

In Deptford Township, New Jersey, they have a new rule that if a parent or spectator fights with an umpire during a Little League game, they have to volunteer to officiate for at least three future games.

If someone ends up having to do it, officials say a certified umpire will also be on the field to make sure calls are correct.
