A youth soccer league director described the mother of a three-year-old standout as “unruly” while urgently asking police to remove her from a game during a 911 call.
Officers were dispatched to a youth soccer match in Winter Park, Florida, on Saturday after rival parents reportedly complained that three-year-old Nevada was “too good” to be playing in the competition.
The toddler’s father, who has more than 400,000 followers on TikTok, later claimed in a video that went viral early Monday that parents of other players objected because Nevada was not passing the ball to his teammates during the match.
Newly released dispatch audio shows Jul Henry, director of the youth soccer league, raising concerns about the boy’s mother and repeatedly asking police to respond quickly.
In audio obtained by The Daily Mail, Henry alleged that the woman was following him, calling him names and recording him for social media.
“I have an unruly parent here, calling me names and having me on Instagram or whatever and wanting me to look bad,” he said.

He added: “There’s a parent here who is really, really disruptive. Like following me around and calling me names. I want her gone.”
Henry continued pressing for a rapid police response, saying the family was preparing to leave the park.
“Can you have someone quickly get here? Because they’re about to leave here in 10 minutes,” he said. “This needs to be like a rush.”
“I just want her off the property, please, immediately,” he continued.
When officers arrived, the league director asked them to speak with the family because he “did not want to further a disturbance,” according to a news release from the Winter Park Police Department.
Police said the toddler’s family remained cooperative and told officers the game had ended and that they were leaving.

Officers advised the parents that any disagreement over a refund for league fees would be a civil matter. No arrests were made, and police did not force anyone to leave the park.
Footage from the match appeared to show Nevada dominating the i9 Sports competition. As police arrived, his father could be heard saying in the social media video: “They called the police on a three-year-old because he is too good.

“They called the police on a three-year-old because he has the ball for too long. And nobody else can get the ball. So, they called the police on him.”
The family later returned to social media in a follow-up post, claiming that the young soccer player had been expelled from the league after the highly publicized incident.
They shared a screenshot of an alleged email from i9 Sports which seemingly confirmed that a refund for the ‘2026 Fall League’ had been processed.
The youth sports organization at the center of the controversy also released a formal statement as public backlash mounts over the incident.
In comment provided to The Daily Mail, i9 Sports said: ‘We are aware of concerns being shared regarding an incident at a local i9 Sports program, and we take them very seriously.
‘The respectful treatment and well-being of every child and family matter deeply to us. We have reached out to the family and have begun a review that includes speaking with those involved.
‘While we work to understand the circumstances, we will not speculate or share unverified information. We appreciate everyone who has brought their concerns to our attention.’
The viral incident sparked backlash on social media on Monday with popular children’s influencer Ms Rachel sharing a post about it to her six million followers.
On Instagram, she wrote: ‘I’m LIVID! Please sports people give him all the experiences and love. @nevadaney10 We’d love to have him on our show to share his amazing skills. I need sports people to show up for him.’
