Hmmmmm, sounds like the same delima that I may have to deal with. My W also thinks that it is too competitive and taken too seriously. I also believe that too many people do take it this way. But the kids can still have a blast and we just need to deal with it. My W said that if the coach ever yelled, he wouldn't be playing. I love sports and sure it will be fine. He's still about 3 years away.
