Police were called to a youth soccer match in Winter Park, Florida, after a league official reported a disturbance concerning a three-year-old player who was allegedly "too good."
The child's family stated that the incident occurred because the toddler, known on TikTok for his soccer skills, was dominating the game and not passing to his teammates. A video shared on social media captured the father expressing his disbelief as officers arrived, stating, "They called the police on a 3-year-old because he is too good."
Winter Park Police confirmed that officers responded to a 911 call about a disturbance on the field. Upon arrival, authorities determined the dispute to be a civil matter and took no further action. The parents were reportedly cooperative and left the field without incident. It remains unclear if the child was permitted to continue playing that day.
The youth sports organization, i9 Sports, acknowledged the incident and stated they are taking the concerns seriously. "The respectful treatment and well-being of every child and family matter deeply to us," a statement read. The organization has reached out to the family and initiated a review of the circumstances.
Following the event, the child's family posted on social media, sharing a screenshot of what appeared to be an email from i9 Sports confirming a refund for the fall league had been processed, implying the toddler had been removed from the league. The incident garnered significant attention online, with social media influencer Ms. Rachel expressing her support for the child and inviting him to appear on her show.
Mentioned in the viral video was that Nevada, the toddler's name, was playing against children approximately five years old, further highlighting his advanced abilities for his age. The family's social media presence showcases numerous clips of Nevada demonstrating impressive dribbling and scoring skills.
