The CMSA should run a bubblewrap league concurrently with the regular leagues and see how that goes. If a parent is registering their kid in soccer, I'd like to think that most want them to learn how to win, how to lose, how to play on a team, etc. if they're signing up a 12-year-old into a sport and expect them not to want to win, they're obviously out to lunch.
Then... 10 years down the road, check in to see where everyone ended up. I would be willing to bet that those who continued to play through their teens and into adulthood played the real version of the game at 12, not some watered-down facsimile.
