They came to blows after the referee allegedly hurled insults at the coach.
According to witnesses, the ref pulled the coach’s hair before throwing her on the deck.
A video shows the ref marching over to the woman before smashing her to the floor.
She then apparently punches the side of the coach’s face as a colleague tries to separate them.
Parents also step in to pull the referee away from the coach as young players look on in shock.
The shocking scenes were filmed at the Colibrí Sports Complex in Tizayuca, located north of the Mexican capital Mexico City, on Monday (30 Sept)
Both women were taken to the local civic court to face charges for the brawl, according to local reports.
The referee was later released on bail as the investigation continues, as reported by Need To Know.
One local alleged: “What reports failed to mention were the insults the volleyball coach made towards the children.”
Another said: “Where is the security for our municipality? Where is the punishment for those who violate the law?”
Antonio added: “Governments and political parties change, but the same people run the courts and leagues.”
