Default 5-6 year old soccer play--- bad form or good plan?

This is directed at you parents of 5 year olds or those of you still under the delusion that you could take on an infinite number of them.

Our "under 6" team got skunked 2-0 last saturday. That sucked. However, at one point one of our players was just sort of wandering around near the opponents goal and we had a throw in. I asked the kid if he thought he could throw it all the way down the field to the other player and this was successful. Unfortunately, the wandering kid failed to complete the goal.

Anyway, I could instill this obvious offside play into our offensive scheme (not that we have anything other than "everyone go after the ball at once") if I picked the right two kids, I think we could score easily.

The opposing parents will likely call foul, but they don't call offsides in this mini junior league so it seems fair to me.

Thoughts?

lol move to sporting events if necessary....
