Do you agree with not keeping score in kids sports?

Losing is an excellent lesson.

NO, I disagree with that policy. Kids need to know that in life, we fail, and need to learn to work harder to get better. There's no motivation in getting better if we don't know we've failed. I feel sorry for the world in a few years, for we're already seeing the results of this nonsense in society today, and it's only going to get worse..

I think it avoids the issue of winning or losing entirely, so I'm not sure they learn anything about either of those things. That being said, there's still a lot of other valuable things that can be learned in team sports.

I still think it's important to teach kids that their level if self worth is not tied to whether or not they win, and taught how to be good sports whether they win or lose, succeed or fail.

Achieving something and winning are nice, but winning isn't everything. 🙂

I agree….I also think that learning what you need to do to be competitive (or finding out that you just aren't that good at a particular sport) isn't a bad thing.

"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." In other words- we don't want to breed easy acceptance of defeat.

and raise a bunch of uncompetitive wimps?

Kids need to learn to deal with disappointment.

Oh I dunno, we're a long time an adult with all the crap that comes with being an adult, kids seem to be forced into growing up so soon now, let them be kids for a while and live in ignorance, also you didn't say how old ?

No more participation awards!

Yes, for very small children.

No. There are winners and losers. Every child does not deserve a trophy. It's called life

Yes it's ridiculous

What's redic?
