Hi Gary,
It depends on what level they're playing. But at Under-11, I'd recommend that your focus should be on making sure they're enjoying their rugby and learning the right things to make sure they are getting the most from their sessions and games.
Focus more on developing their skills as they get older and begin to be exposed to more contact in the games. The aim/goal should be to be able to understand the correct techniques to not get injured and they should be starting to think a bit more about the different plays during the game. These should be seen as goals.
At their age, focussing on results can put too much pressure on kids and often, you see kids become demotivated when the results don't go for them.
Therefore, if they're enjoying their rugby without the pressure, they're likely to enjoy it a lot more, hopefully allowing the results to follow.
I hope this helps!
