i used to coach little kickers soccer when i was in college and i played on a few select/travel teams when i was a kid. i know the exact kinds of teams you are talking about.
best thing you can teach the kids is to win with pride. if they take pride in their play, contest every ball hard and fair, they will come out on top more often. taking cheap shots and playing chippy is one of those things that takes a toll on the team that is doing it just as much as the team that is defending it.
if they maintain their patience and stick to a solid game plan they will win no matter how much someone else cheats.
