Hayes had asked the family to leave, citing concerns about the child's play, since the boy was reportedly pushing other kids in a league set up for 5-year-olds. The child's mother denied the allegations against her and her son.\n\nThe Winter Park Police Department confirmed officers responded and that no arrests were made. Body camera footage of the confrontation has since circulated widely online, turning a small-time youth sports dispute into a bigger story than anyone involved probably expected.\n\ni9 Sports has launched a review of the incident. No further details on the outcome of that review have been released.","published_at":"2026-10-27T22:34:06.889443+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Mom of 3-Year-Old Soccer Player Speaks Out After Police Called Over Dispute Involving Her Son","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/mom-3-old-soccer-player-034452866.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Police called to remove 3-year-old from Florida soccer tournament","url":"https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/50290518/police-called-remove-3-year-old-florida-soccer-tournament"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Chaos breaks out at Florida youth soccer game with police called on family of dominant 3-year-old","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/26/sports/chaos-at-florida-youth-soccer-game-as-police-called-on-family-of-dominant-3-year-old/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Why were police called to a youth soccer game in Florida?
