Out of curiosity, cannongal, was this a school sponsored league? Or an outside of school thing. If it was outside, didnt you have the choice to go somewhere else for your kid to play soccer..you know, one where it's taught that if you practice hard, and work for it, you can be a winner?
When I was 13 or so, I refereed soccer in a city league. I basically refereed kids from 2nd to 6th grade. It was funny as hell watching the real young kids play...the whole field of kids moved to the ball, there wasn't any passing, strategy, or the like. But...there WAS a winner and loser...and ya know what, all the kids seemed to have a good time.. and win or lose, coaches normally took the kids out for ice cream, or whatever, after the game.
I get it...at that age (really young) it really is supposed to be about fun for the kids....but a coach can also teach a basic work ethic at the same time.

You are no longer in the womb, friend. The competition is tougher out here.
