I had a form of this type of behavior growing up. The areas I lived in dealt with it by just not offering any sports for those under 12.

12.

No pee wee or pop warner, because we were too little and could get hurt. So instead we would play football during recess WITHOUT pads or supervision.

I think there should sports for kids, and there should be a W/L column. Come in last, hey you get to keep your shirt.
