Is there any possibility that you are humbly refusing to acknowledge the role your own coaching may be having in making these average kids magically become great players? Or maybe it's just that the other coaches really suck. I played on a softball team once that lost every single game, by a minimum of ten points. In retrospect, I have realized that we were just as average as the other teams, but we had suck-ass coaches who took the whole "we're just here to have fun" thing to the extreme of never helping us improve. (We had girls throwing with the wrong leg forward, for example, and they never said anything, through the whole season.)
Perhaps you could hold practices together with the other team(s), that way the other kids can learn from either you or your awesome kids, whichever it really is.
