Now more than ever, coaches of young athletes are not keeping score in elementary school recreational sporting events.
The reason behind this trend in athletics is no child leaves with a broken spirit. Supporters of this concept believe that children should not be told if the result of their game is a win or loss in order to spare feelings and keep every child wanting to play the game. The logic behind this is pretty clear — if you never lose a game it is hard not to love every minute of it. However, this can create problems for today’s youth.
