Running straight downfield and scoring will get you only so far, especially if you come up on a team/player that knows that is the only thing you have. Even players that have skills on the ball and skills only are easy to read and contain by a disciplined defender. All those youtube stars that have tons of ball skills, they aren't playing even low level professionally for a good reason.

No harm in getting your kids into the game at a young age and if they show any sort of propensity for it or have fun, then you have tougher choices to make down the road. But just because it turns into a bureaucratic, expensive nightmare at the upper 30% level is no reason to not let them play at all.
