What is the use of non-competitive sports?

Okay, I just got a call from John's last soccer coach while he was enrolled to play at the YMCA telling us of an upcoming game this Saturday. I had to break the news to him that he would not be playing at the Y anymore. I neglected to tell him why, but it is simply because of the noncompetitive nature of the entire program. I understand that it is because they want everyone to feel good about playing and learning sports, but it is ridiculous to not teach kids how to win and lose appropriately. When John did t-ball this past spring, it was an absolute joke. John didn't even enjoy it because his coach didn't feel the necessity of teaching the kids the rules of the game because they weren't ever going to keep score and everyone had a turn for every game. We have vowed never to be in that league again for t-ball. We were also irritated when we attended a meeting for the YMCA soccer. We found out that because the league is so small, the teams play the same teams over and over. This brought back memories of t-ball. How are children ever going to learn how to lose and not be devastated? If they win all of the time and everyone is good, the desire to achieve will be squashed and advancement will cease. Thankfully, John will be in the league he was in last year which actually inspired confidence!
