[quote=Anonymous][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]

With my son, it was the opposite. He was easily one of the top three players on the team and the bullying came from some of the weaker skilled players, but physically larger. They couldn't stop him on the field so they went after him with cheap shots, both verbally and physically.   [/quote]

was he a jackass about being better? Resentment is normal if the kid is a jerk, otherwise the good kids are usually accepted [/quote]

No.  He's actually one of the quietest players on the team. Doesn't even celebrate when he scores.  Bit of an introvert, but he's just really skilled at ball control and maybe they took his sort of coldness as looking down on them or something. [/quote]
