[quote=Anonymous]I recall from my years of sports (admittedly many years ago) that it was considered bad form (unsportsmanlike?) for an opposing team to just crush the hell out of their opponent at these years, say 5th-8th grades. For example, if you have double+ the other team’s score, you’d back off a bit because there is no way the other team is going to win. The coach would put in the players that need more practice/play time to improve their skills which would perhaps also allow the opposition to score a few points and keep some dignity. If the losing team gains rapidly and things get frightfully close, the coach would put in the highest scoring players back in and reclaim the game. Is that outdated? Or was my experience rare, perhaps? [/quote]
