[quote=Anonymous]This happened to my kid at this age.  I would talk to the coach.  There are a few lessons to be learned here.  1. with your kid, he needs toughen up a bit and deal with this type of stuff when it happens because these things will happen.  2. The bullies need to understand that, when they bully a kid, they are hurting the TEAM by weakening that player!  There is no place for bullies on a team.  The coach needs to help both the "bullied" and the "bully".  If he can't, then you pull the kid and let the club know why.  Keep in mind that a lot of these coaches played in college or something, got some licenses, and just started coaching. They have no idea how to deal with kids.  They aren't teachers. They aren't sport psychologists. etc.  You need to have a conversation with the coach.  So it's a team effort. You, your kid, and the coach.  In addition, the parent of the bully for my kid I feel like sensed something because he came to me and said...if you ever hear of my kid being a jerk, let me know.  I never said anything to him. I bring this up as that may be an option as well. What this can't be is a yelling match with you and the coach or the other parent or anything because that just embarrasses the kid. Whatever you do, have your kid's buy in.  You don't want to embarrass him further.[/quote]
