There's a kind of hush ....

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Officials of a Pennsylvania youth soccer league have a message for parents: Shhh!

This weekend, parents are being asked to be quiet when they watch their kids play.

Central Pennsylvania Youth Soccer League president Sharon Bolognese said the games should be about the kids. So, she asked parents and coaches to forget about the yelling, cheering and dissing the refs.

Bolognese said the league had 80 reports of parents behaving badly during the opening weekend alone. She noted that refs have been shoved, yelled at, forced off the road after games and even threatened with lawsuits.
