[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conclusion from reading this thread. Vienna has a pervasive bullying / attitude problem at both the parent and kid level. Looks like a club that needs a shakeup from top down or change in culture. [/quote]

I have several VYS players, from teenage years down to U-little, and have been a parent with VYS players for about 4 years now.  I have not once witnessed or heard any discussion of any problem with "bullying."

Of course, there are many individual teams within VYS, and I certainly don't have information on all of them -- I'm not part of VYS, just a parent.  But I cannot imagine that a "bullying" problem would be permitted to persist in the manner described.

And I don't know what the "plastic bubble" metaphor is supposed to mean.  [/quote]

Not the one who noted either of these but "plastic bubble" refers to overprotection of kid, which is basically a round about way of saying spoiled / helicopter parent. Just because you haven't heard of bullying does not mean there isn't a problem. It means the bullies have not targeted your kids; your kids have other things to discuss; and certainly the coaches are not going to advertise such issues. Don't think the OP was suggesting everyone is bullied. But, it does seem we have multiple teams (3 or more) in VYS who have noted such behavioral issues. Is that out of the norm?  Not sure. But, one case is too many.[/quote]

Ha! My kid would enjoy putting anyone in there place if they even tried to bully them. Stand out among the masses and try not to be ordinary. [/quote]
