Black three-year-old boy and his family removed from Youth Soccer tournament in Florida

Police escorted a black three-year-old boy and his family from a local I9 Sports League Youth Soccer field in Florida on Sunday, after opposing parents complained that he was dominating games against five-year-olds.

The boy, known as Nevada, reportedly scored 10 goals in one game despite being substituted several times during the roughly 30-minute match, and he and his parents were subsequently barred from the venue following complaints about their son’s playing style. 

His parents say they were told they could no longer return to the field and later received a refund for their Autumn League registration.

Videos of him dribbling past older children spread across social media on Sunday, alongside footage documenting his family’s dispute at the field.

Nevada’s father claimed police were called because his son repeatedly kept possession of the ball. 

In a circulating video, he claims they ‘called the police on a 3-year-old because he had too much of the ball, while Nevada’s mother also confronted adults discussing her son, insisting ‘he isn’t doing anything but playing soccer.

Adults in one of the footage can also be heard questioning the child’s playing style, with some suggesting his dominance was unfair to the other children.
