9 year old : When To tolerate ugly behavior of peers and coaches

Question

My newly 9 yr old son just joined a kid pitch baseball team in our community. My son has always played sports and gets a lot out of them. This year he has moved up to a group of much bigger and older boys who seem to be from a different planet than my son. My son is very small for his age and is kind, cooperative, and motivated. He has very quickly been inundated into the world of boys teasing him, the coaches screaming and cursing and generally using condescending speech to the whole team. Do I keep him in this atmosphere or say forget it, this is by choice and I don't want him around these jerks?
