The competitiveness at a young age helps kill interest in the sport and, around here, that makes it nearly impossible to have a league. When my daughter started at 5, there were four teams. By the time she got to late elementary, there was one. All the other towns in the county had the same problem, so they all banded together to make a county league.
Keeping kids interested and engaged should be a big part of the job for those first few years.
