Kids in this day and age need to learn how to fail. I remember as a young soccer player (many years ago) in rec soccer we lost to a team in the beginning of the season very badly. I don't remember any parent complaining about the score. I do however remember the team not taking practice for granted anymore and we played the team to a much more respectable game at the end of the season. Still lost, but it was only by two goals verse 10. Everyone was happy knowing they performed well against the best team.
Enough of the PC garbage!!! Everyone has been on either side of a blow out in many different sports. Schools are preventing kids from playing tag at recess.....because of parents who can't handle their kid not being the best. The kids are fine.....it's you nut job over protective parents who are the issue. Your kid lost to a better team.......get over it.

A few of things that people are saying are:
1. Teams of near equal skill is more competitive and more conducive to developing as a player and a team.
2. When a game is clearly not competitive then the coaches should adjust the parameters that creates another development opportunity.
3. Running up a score because you can is poor sportsmanship and teaches nothing of substance to kids.
How much does a U11 team need to know they either played well or not?

How coaches handle the blowouts is what matters.
