The Reality of Youth Sports Violence 

girls soccer teamDespite heightened awareness of youth sports violence, the number of abusive, negative and violent incidents has risen sharply in the last five years among all age groups and all sports. 

As a youth sports leader or parent of a young athlete, you may have come face-to-face with unruly parents, players and coaches whose win-at-all-costs mentality spoils kids’ fun. Maybe you’ve witnessed talented young athletes abandoning once-loved sports as the pressure to perform becomes too intense, too emotionally charged, or sometimes, too dangerous.

To reverse the disturbing trend, the Saint Barnabas Health Care System has developed a program for recreational and youth leagues called Rediscovering Youth Sportsmanship.
