  2. Violence in Youth Sports Violence Plagues Youth Sports Overbearing Parents Creating Dangerous Situations on the Field
 By TIM DAHLBERG
The Associated Press Dying to Win - violence in youth sports - Brief Article ON JULY 5, MICHAEL COSTIN supervised a group of boys, including three of his sons, practicing hockey at the Burbank Ice Arena in Reading, Mass. Thomas Junta, another father, watched the practice from the stands. Junta saw his son get checked, or bumped, by other players and then struck on the nose by someone's elbow. Junta complained to Costin and urged him to control the boys better. According to Junta, Costin responded, "That's what hockey is all about!” After the practice, Junta and Costin got into a fistfight. Junta allegedly beat Costin until he lay unconscious on the ground. Costin died in a local hospital two days later. Junta was arrested and charged with manslaughter. He is awaiting trial.

  3. What is AYSO? • Global volunteer-run youth soccer organization • Over 600,000 players • 250,000 volunteers • Involved at the community level

  4. Background & History • AYSO provides certification/training for coaches in its program • The age range for players in the program is 4-1/2 to 18 years old • An important part of the training is instructing coaches how to behave in accordance with AYSO’s philosophies

  5. AYSO Philosophies AYSO was founded in 1969 on these basic philosophies. The organization feels these philosophies promote fair play and provide an environment for positive child development. • Everyone Plays • Open Registration • Balanced Teams • Positive Coaching • Good Sportsmanship

  6. AYSO Structure • Refer to report to review chart

  7. The Problem Coach training/certification at the Regional level as it is presented is not producing a high enough percentage of coaches who behave according to the philosophies of the organization.

  8. Unacceptable Behavior • Acting outside of the philosophies and policies of the organization • Non-positive coaching • Poor sportsmanship • Yelling at players and officials • Cheating

  9. Objectives • Coaches need to meet AYSO National's requirements for coach certification • Coaches need to achieve Safe Haven certification • Coaches need to understand and be able to put into practice the philosophies of AYSO • Coaches need to understand and implement age-appropriate training • Coaches need to understand and implement team management skills (practices, meetings)

  10. Analysis • Limited Regional resources • Volunteer instructors have limited experience • Gap between the presentation of the content and the context in which learners would perform • Insufficient testing/evaluation

  11. Learners • The learners come from varied backgrounds (economically, educationally, etc.) • Usually the parents of the players in the program • Age range is 24-65 years old • Predominately male (95%) • Little or no coaching experience • Little or no experience with the game of soccer

  12. Solution • Modify the training/certification curriculum to affect an attitudinal shift in the learner • Break the training into components and frame the learning in the philosophies and policies of the program • Evaluate after every component and at the end of the certification • Set final evaluation to pass/fail level at 80% • Extend evaluation into the field • Observe coach performance for a length of 1 season

  13. Instructional Strategy • Provide a training/certification process that has a direct approach • Use a general-to-specific sequencing • Use training that incorporates: • Role-playing activities • Brainstorming sessions • Real-world examples Use audio and visual presentations for situations that will allow learners to project learning concepts into (and onto) a simulated “real-world” situation, allowing for evaluation and deconstruction. (PLAY Sample)

  14. Audio Evaluation Exercise • Ask learners to give their impression of what they hear. Is it positive coaching? • Breakdown/Deconstruct the audio and examine each statement • Ask learners how they would apply AYSO philosophies to “revise” what they hear • Allow for elaboration
