Unfortunately, bullying is a common problem, and its effects can last a lifetime. Developing appropriate social skills is just as important as developing sports skills, so you need to remember that your coaching duties go far beyond teaching the rules of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Take charge of your team. Be aware of what\u2019s happening between the kids and step in when it\u2019s appropriate.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Set the Tone<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Start the season off by detailing your expectations when it comes to behavior. Tell the kids that you won\u2019t tolerate poor sportsmanship or bullying. Consider establishing consequences for bad behavior. For instance, a kid caught bullying might have to sit out the game. Once you\u2019ve established these rules, you need to stand by them, even if it means that you\u2019re not able to use your best player.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Be an Example<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kids often mimic the behavior of the adults in their lives. Almost everyone has seen a coach who shouts insults at the referees and belittles kids in an attempt to push them to work harder. If you\u2019re calling people names, you\u2019re creating an environment that enables the kids to feel comfortable doing the same. Instead, work hard to be the type of coach who encourages all players. Show every single person the type of respect you want your players to show.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Encourage Friendships<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kids who are \u201coutsiders\u201d are often the victims of bullying, and coaches can do a lot to make sure that none of the kids feel left out. Plan group outings outside of the traditional practices. Assign partners rather than letting kids choose their own partner to help each kid get to know the other players on the team. While it\u2019s only natural for kids to find a few they feel closer to, a coach can guide the team members to always remember to include everyone.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Play All Athletes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a professional league. Kids join sports teams to have fun, make friendships, and develop a few sports skills. Kids who spend most of the game sitting on the benches will not feel like they\u2019re truly part of the team and may be more likely to get bullied. It\u2019s your job to help each boy or girl realize that they have something to contribute to the team. They may not be the best thrower or the fastest runner, but they still have a role to play. As a coach, you can do this by making sure that each kid gets a fair shot at playing the game.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Squash Bullying Behavior<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t turn a blind eye to bullying behavior. While it\u2019s normal for kids to occasionally poke fun, you need to watch out for the times when this \u201crough housing\u201d goes too far. Let parents know that you want to hear about bullying. Make sure that your team knows they can come to you. Talk to the team when bullying becomes a problem and follow through on consequences if you catch a kid bullying another.<\/p>\n<p>Coaching isn\u2019t just about winning games, it\u2019s about turning kids into strong leaders who do the right thing. When you set the right tone and example for all of your players, you can build a team that\u2019s free from bullying.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jessica Kane is a writer for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steellockersports.com\/\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.steellockersports.com\/\">SteelLocker Sports<\/a>.
