Two assistant coaches in a youth athletic group have been arrested on felony child endangerment charges alleging they gave two young football players diuretic pills and had them and other boys participate in dangerous exercises to lose weight.

Hugh Joshua Weyer, 22, and Christopher Murphy, 24, assistant coaches of the Danbury Athletic Youth Organization’s Trojan Football team, were dismissed after a parent complained. They turned themselves in to police on Friday and were released on written promises to appear in court on Feb. 28.
Twelve boys, aged 7 to 13, were “subjected to a rigorous training program†on Sept. 2, with five of them taking part in a 24-hour training session, police said.

None of the children was hurt, but one lost 9 pounds in a day, police said.
“It is a dangerous way to lose weight, especially for children,†said police Detective Gary Guertin.

The two coaches “acknowledged it was a mistake,†Guertin said.
