It's always that way, there's always one team that beats them all. If you try to fix it too much, you're going to spoil the game. Holding your kids back too much will eventually spoil their enjoyment and piss their parents off. Invite some of the newbs/1s and 2s from the other teams on to your team. Or some different newbs altogether Move to a different league.

Don't keep score. Keep a different score for your team -sure, celebrate their goals, but create your only little side game -3 points for an assist, 1 point for a pass with the "wrong" foot. Do they play offside? If not, teach them to play to that rule even if the oppo isn't.

How many games have you played so far? Just the two?
