Not sure why you're getting down-voted. I think people are confusing "fun comes first" with winning not mattering at all. For young kids, the focus should be on fun (otherwise they won't play) and skills development (fundamentals). Of course you try to win the game, but the idea is that you don't try to win at all cost, especially at the expense of those other two things. The strategy you would employ with a team of kids to win as many games as possible is very different from the one you would use to develop them the most as good future players.
