My sons' teams (2028, 2030) have played ProStart twice. Two memories of note:

1) Surprising low lax IQ with the Annapolis parents (stereotype is the opposite...I was surprised). Kids getting cross checked to the face in front of a ref (easy flag, not a horrible hit but an easy penalty to call), with a dad yelling, "CMON LET EM PLAY, THATS NOT EVEN A PUSH." Parents constantly pearl clutching, not understanding the rules of the game, giving helpful yells like, "STOP HIM JOHNNY!" (as a much larger, obviously faster kid runs right past him).

2) Kids have been coached (or at least are being actively encouraged....aka coaching) to flop on any light contact from the rear. I know that True Baltimore also coaches this and it's awful. Kid does a superman dive on feeling a stick from behind, gets a flag, pops up and the coach is cheering and everybody high fiving him.

Maybe these are one-off observations, but they are things that actually happened.
