DO NOT encourage keeping score at this age. That is bad advice! The kids will do it on their own but do not fall into that!

Don't stress over rules.  Cap at a couple.  As long as they are respectful, have fun. [/quote]

Absolutely Keep score as you are laying the foundation for them. Do not use the score as the only measurement of success. But teach them at a young age with fun competitions like the losing team picks up all the cones. Remember to constantly switch up the teams to make them as competitive as possible. Its important at this age to keep your teams at practice as evenly matched up as possible but also keep switching them every competition. This keeps them hungry to win but also teaches them how to handle loss.At the end of the day its your job to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible at the same time always keep that carrot dangling in front that when they are successful a reward awaits.[/quote]
