hahaha  - that's why I liked going to games when my son played (12-14 year old).  I had no idea of the rules, I could go to game, watch him play for 75 minutes or so, and just cheer him and his team mates on without any idea whether the strategy the coach employed was correct, whether the officials missed calls, or if the play time he received was adequate. He eventually gave it up b/c puberty is one of those self selective processes where if you don't get it early - playing as a 5'2" vs some 6'3" man child is shall we say daunting (especially if you're the goalie).

 

FWIW: My opinion on why kids play the sport has more to do with the pace and that it's a sport that someone with ADD or ADHD can "get through" without picking the daisy's somewhere on the field.
