I think we would all agree piling it on a 4th grade team is unacceptable and things should be done to avoid that (3 pass rule, lots of subs, etc). However, even if a coach does those things, a superior team can keep scoring and preventing the other team from scoring. And no one wants to tell his kids they can't play lacrosse and try and score. It's not fair to the kids on the superior team who want to play and I think it can be even more demorilizing for the losing team if it looks like the other team is just toying with them by passing the ball around. It's a hard issue. Part of the problem is all of these elite club teams who have few equally good teams to play against (especially at the 3rd and 4th grade levels) so they end up crusing inferior teams.
