I agree with you there. This seems rather silly for kids playing at this age. The ball is likely bigger than they are. Why subject kids that early to that kind of competition. It is one thing if you have a local league where kids play amongst kids they know, but to have a travel league? These games have to be a joy to officiating......NOT!!!
