(KUTV) Little League is all fun and games until a fight breaks out from the adults.

On Saturday, two baseball coaches for the kids start fighting and shouting at each other in Cooper City, Florida, according to CNN.

A bystander managed to record the third base brawl. You can see both coaches rolling around in the infield dirt while spectators are yelling comments like, "Really, really, is that what you want?"

The teams are directed to get back to their dugouts as other adults go in to break up the brawl. Some of the little league players can be seen from the vantage of homeplate, just standing there with their catchers mitt and another holding his bat. The two boys stand motionless as they watch these coaches exchange blows.

As the fight slowly breaks up one person can be heard shouting, "Get the hell to your dugouts!" While another person asks, "why are the parents on the field?"

The brawl began after opposing coaches switched out a player for a faster runner.

The switch prompted an obscenity, a punch, then a takedown, according to a police incident report.

Police arrived and the coach who threw the punch was read his Miranda rights, but the other man decided not to press charges and no other action was taken.

Parent brawls aren't uncommon, but catching them on camera doesn't happen as often. Here's one from 2012. With the ease of access
