When uniforms and coaches and field dues and irritated parents get thrown into the mix it is no longer sport or fun. Leave the kids alone and let them play. If they want to get into the organized BUSINESS of sport that's another matter....that's the dollar signs dancing in their eyes.

We were high school age. There were only 3 or 4 teams - we played each other over and over. Sometimes it was difficult to get enough girls there for a game. One Saturday morning we were short several girls so the other team agreed to let my 12 year old brother play. He was small, thin, and had longish hair. Everyone thought he was a girl, but the other team knew. After his third goal, the other team threw a fit and made him leave the game. We still won. And the rest of the story is that my little brother went on to help establish soccer in our town. He coached all sorts of teams through the years including a team with Mia Hamm.
