[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, bullying never stops until the bullied kid practices very hard. This not only improves his skills but more importantly greatly improves his/her self-confidence.

Being new to any team, there’s always a feeling of isolation unless the player joins with his/her friends too.  This happened to my DD when she joined a team 2 years ago. While she was a decent player, she was new to the travel team environment.  Hence, she didn’t understand some of the positioning and terminologies. She was fine after one season. In addition, she practiced a lot on her own and I noticed not only a spike in her skills but a huge spike in her confidence too. She’s now U13. [/quote]

Nah, in my case, my kid didn't suck.  It was just a case of one kid trying to show off for other kids and chose my kid to pick on. My kid was the youngest on the team but not the smallest and new the bully for several seasons. I don't know why this kid chose my son.  I told my kid to punch him square in the face if he does it again.  My wife was mortified when I said this as we taught our kids not to hit their entire lives, but the fact of the matter is, some kids are just a-holes and need a punch in the face to stop the bullying.  My kid would NOT punch the kid, so eventually we ended up leaving when the year was over.[/quote]

Damn. I was hoping that kid got punched. Another alternative is to soccer-tackle that kid hard during scrimmages.

One girl on my DD team several years ago had a tendency to push my DD from behind very hard and made her fall hard. I told her to walk up to that girl after practice to tell her if she did it again, my DD will smack her in the face. The pushing stopped. [/quote]
