[quote=Anonymous]Parents (including me sometimes, I admit) internalize the results of youth games way too much. I live in Europe now. My U-8 was on the business end of a ~20-0 drubbing by a team from a much bigger club. The 20th goal was celebrated just as hard as the first. Nobody cared. Nobody was offended. Nobody was yelling at the other team's coach. And when I saw that nobody cared, it made it easier for me to not care (old American habits die hard). Our team's coach just calmly reminded our little guys after every goal of how he wanted them to move when in possession and their responsibilities when defending (yes, tactics can be taught to U-8s). And the game went on. [/quote]
