Actually this is a case where the ADULTS need to step up and behave
like ADULTS. Kids don't make responsible decisions, and here
we NEED the adults to START making responsible decisions
and do what's best for the kids and the sport. What we've got
right now AIN'T THAT.

I would have to disagree. The adults are not playing the game the kids are. I dont think it would be putting to much on a kids shoulders on making a decision of whether they wanted to play a game or not.

The adults are the ones acting like kids saying the kids shouldnt play because they will get beat to bad. To me thats setting a bad example to the kids.

Example:

Hey little johnny your team can not play with that team, so no need to play the game. Just go home.
Hey mom or dad i want to at least try and give my best this could me the last time i ever play the game i love. I dont care if i lose. I just want to play one more time and hey you never no we just might pull the cinderella story.

I dont know about you, but i never want a kid of mine to back down from a challenge just because it is difficult.
