[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way rosters change for both boys and girls from year to year, I can't see how it would affect a player any longer than the current year. How I wish my child's roster had any consistency but each year, it's like he's on a new team.

And, FTR, I have seen horrible behavior by boys on travel soccer teams from arrogant asshole boys towards players who are smaller and/or weaker. [/quote]

I feel like coaches who see this kind of thing are super reluctant to address it.

If it were me, I'd have an easy breezy, non-emotional 5 minute workshop on the idea that terrorizing your teammates is basically treason. You are weakening your team, to the delight of other teams. May as well just wear the other team's jersey and pass them ballt o them when you have it. I think it should be pointed out as a problem that is shameful and dishonorable and the while treason isn't punishable by death in soccer, it's easily recognized and won't go unanswered. I think if players are made to feel like they might be guilty of being treasonous, with the disdain that most societies have about that idea, they might think twice.[/quote]
