[quote=DS63]I have coached in a league where score was not kept (coach pitch softball; 8U). There was no way to keep score with the rules, because every kid batted in every inning. That was the rule. The coal was to teach the girls how to play in a minimally competitive environment. A could of times, I was asked who won by the girls. I would count the number of girls on each team, figure out how many out (i tracked that), and tell who scored more runs. But I would point out it was because of the number of girls. In early sports, the goal is more to learn how to play as a team then to win. In younger kids sports, goals (soccer) and hits (baseball) is often luck -- good play facilitates the luck, but it is still luck. I wanted the girls to understand that playing well and cohesive put you in a position where luck matters. [/quote]
