That two touchdown rule would maybe make sense in practice if trying to build up the skills of the kids who are not necessarily getting as much time with the ball because of the stronger players being naturally focused on but in a game that is pretty unrealistic. The no score and other rules are just going to set the kids up for disappointment later if they try out for teams that are actually competitive and only accept and play kids that do well. Better to teach them how it works from the beginning I think. (NukeDad) Right now, reading has been my #1 priority. I just need to even it all out a little better. The "no keeping score" rule is a joke anyway, the kids keep score and always know who won and who lost. <abbr><em>Karens last blog post..<a href="http://microblogologist.blogspot.com/2009/03/workin-on-my-fitness-melisa-style.html" rel="nofollow">Workin' on my Fitness Melisa Style</a></abbr></em> But blogging is still your #1 priority right?!

Everyone is not a winner. Kids need to learn how to handle failure. I may have competitiveness issues. (NukeDad) If you've got issues Otter, then I have the same ones. It's funny, they won't let us keep score, but then they say that once a kid scores 2 touchdowns, he can only run with the ball; you can't throw to him. <abbr><em>Otter Thomass last blog post..<a href="http://lifeofanewdad.blogspot.com/2009/02/major-accomplishment.html" rel="nofollow">Major Accomplishment</a></abbr></em> I hate not keeping score.

What weirdness that be? Everyone's a winner? (NukeDad) That's right, the Y doesn't keep score. I've mentioned it in many coaches meetings, but I'm always rejected. It doesn't really matter anyway, the kids keep score and shout it out during the games anyway. They know who wins. <abbr><em>Audubon Rons last blog post..<a href="http://ducksmahal.blogspot.com/2009/02/once-you-have-white-guy-you-never-go.html" rel="nofollow">Once You Have a White Guy, You Never Go Back</a></abbr></em> You don’t keep score?
