OP here. It sounds like you are addressing me, but I'm none of the posters quoted above. If you are talking to me....I never said I was upset with my son. I'm sad he had to resort to violence, which is against our family values.  There is nothing ideal about how any of this played out, and I was trying to get some insight on how I could have handled it better. This may have been the first time it happened. I'm sure it won't be the last.

FWIW, I do agree the coach was the first adult responsible, since he was close by and the adult in charge. I was about 40 years away. And I did start going over there to break it up, but my son hit the other kid first, and then the coach got involved.

Seems reasonable to me.  Bottom line to me is that a person always has the right to defend his or herself particularly if they are clearly being bullied.

Learning the best ways to do do so and the associated consequences are both open questions that I would like more insight on as well.

With my son's soccer team anyway, the coaches place a great deal of emphasis on good sportmanship.   I do not think that bullying of any sort would be tolerated at all unless the kid or kids are really good at hiding it.[/quote]
