If you're not keeping score, you're not really playing a game, you're just having a practice or workout. Scorekeeping should begin the very first time the kids face an opposing team.

We can already see it. It's part of a coddling culture that's resulting in kids still living in their parents' houses at 30, having a ridiculous sense of entitlement from being rewarded for nothing all their lives and having no preparation for life away from mommy. Not keeping score is how you create misfit, maladapted nerds who dress up like pandas and have "girlfriends" they only ever talk to on the internet.

They don't have to play sports to be competitive in either ways (and to learn from losing and failure. The best thing that sports does is teach kids how to learn from failure).

Learn from your failures bros.

In life there are winner and losers and failures. I think you are setting kids up to be the last of the three with such stupid ideas as no score and everybody wins.
