Alliance outlines strategy to curb violence The violent behavior plaguing youth sports programs nationwide reached an all-time low in July with the tragic death of a volunteer hockey coach following a fight with a parent in Massachusetts. It was another in a lengthy list of disturbing incidents, which illustrates how organized youth sports are spiraling out of control amid post-game police reports and arrest warrants. Education Programs This violent behavior among adults — where many games are ending in PAYS fistfights rather than handshakes - has recreation leaders scrambling NYSCA ACADEMY to put a stop to a problem that has gained serious momentum. NYSAA NYSAA O "If it's important in communities across this country to have a NYSCI superintendent of schools for academic learning then it should be Youth equally important to have a person filling that same role for children's Development sports, because sports for children are about learning life skills," said Hook A Kid Fred Engh, president of the National Alliance For Youth Sports. "It's On Golf time that we raised the standard of how sports programs are conducted in communities. If we are going to put an end to these Register to incidents of physical, emotional and psychological abuse that are occurring, we need to take a look at what's happening around the receive a country very seriously and restrict who is allowed to use a Start Smart community's public facilities." The majority of organized youth sports programs are staged on more Nt Lila #3/4P than 60,000 parks and recreation department facilities that exist ,�1.+I nationwide. Most of these sports programs are run by well-meaning volunteers who fill coaching and administrative roles, but typically l40 have not been properly prepared for the many aspects that their position entails. Furthermore, many parents overstep the boundary of information good behavior simply because they've never been told their roles and package responsibilities in youth sports. "Sports are the greatest resource that we have for children in this . country to learn many critical life skills," Engh said. "And until we treat ?`fit AN youth sports with the same importance that we do our educational 0 system, we will continue to encounter problems." = •". f 4.1 MSC-.. ...r4 - http://www.nays.org/html%20folder/home.html 2/8/01 plillto NAYS Page 1 of 1 r • To address these disturbing events unfolding around the country, the 0 Alliance offers the following strategy, which has proven enormously successful in many cities: (1) An individual must be appointed to act as the supervisor of all youth sports in a community. This supervisor should be trained and certified by the Academy For Youth Snorts Administrators and place in motion standards that will ensure all children have a safe and positive experience. (2) Mandate that youth sports administrators who lease park and recreation facilities receive training in all aspects of youth sports management. Approximately 90 percent of all volunteer administrators have not received even one minute of training on how to manage youth sports programs, and yet they are making decisions and determining policies that affect the welfare of millions of children nationwide. (3) Require volunteer coaches to go through a certification program and have their name placed in a national data base so it can be ensured that they understand what role winning plays in youth sports; why children quit sports; and what children at different ages want from their sports experiences, among others. Parents would never entrust their child to a teacher that wasn't trained, so why should it be any different when it comes to sports? (4) Require that parents of children involved in sports go through a • sportsmanship training program that outlines their roles and responsibilities, and clearly explains what is acceptable behavior. If the parents don?t attend, the child isn't allowed to participate. The Alliance's NYSCA program for volunteer coaches; NYSCA program for volunteer administrators; and PAYS program for parents are readily available - and more importantly - are being used with tremendous success in more than 2,500 cities nationwide. "When the organization was founded as the National Youth Sports Coaches Association in 1981 people scoffed at the idea that volunteer coaches would go through any type of training," Engh said. "Yet today more than 1.5 million coaches have been certified by NYSCA and are held accountable for their behavior. Even studies indicate that most coaches would rather coach in a league that requires its volunteers to be certified." And since February, when the Jupiter-Tequesta Athletic Association became the nation's first group to require parent sportsmanship training, more than 175 other communities have implemented the PAYS program, too. Every child deserves to play in a fun-filled, stress-free and non- threatening environment, and it's up to the adults to make it happen. • The choice is yours. http://www.nays.org/htrnl%20fo1der/home.html 2/8/01 Article 1 rage i or i 4 • RECENT NEWS Minnesota's Andover Athletic Association mandates PAYS program Parents of boys in the Andover Athletic Association's basketball program will be required to attend a clinic on sportsmanship before their child is allowed to participate this season. They will attend 30-minute clinics through the Parents Association for Youth Sports, a program of the National Alliance For Youth Sports. The Andover Athletic Association is the first youth sports association in Minnesota to make parent training mandatory. The issue of adult behavior at youth sports events has garnered enormous attention in recent months as the number of violent incidents involving parents continues to escalate nationwide. • "The Andover Athletic Association, like a growing number of sports organizations across the country, is concerned about the potential that exists for problems to arise among parents during games," said Fred Engh, founder and president of the Alliance. "They should be commended for taking the necessary steps to help ensure that verbal abuse and violent behavior will not be a part of any of its youth programs." The clinics will be held in conjunction with the basketball registration taking place this month. "The vast majority of the parents involved in our programs haven't been a problem," said Steve Gompertz, the boys' basketball director for the Andover Athletic Association. "But those few parents that are can require a lot of our volunteers' attention and really take away from the experience we're trying to give these kids. We want to be proactive about this and not wait until it escalates into a crisis. The Association thinks this training will clarify expectations and set in motion a sort of peer pressure to behave appropriately." The Andover Athletic Association provides basketball and softball programs for more than 2,000 boys and girls in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul. • ttp://www.nays.org/article/news2.html 2/8/01 iVolunteers and Risk Eight elements to creating a shield around your program 1. Establish a written policy for screening and training your volunteers Define and follow through... 2. Generate job descriptions for volunteers Create boundaries around the position—have your volunteer sign off on it 3. Have a volunteer application 4. Produce a consent and release form 5. Review your application and check the references- 6. Interview the applicant 7. Evaluate the results--Don't take a warm body just because you need them. Follow your policy and then your gut instincts. 8. Have a coaches orientation into the program— • Go over your Mission and the coaches role in your league. Things your organization should do to build your protective shield. Policies and Procedures must be written down and must include your mission and philosophy statements. They need to be given to everyone involved. You must establish a standard of behavior for coaches, parents and youth. In your policies and procedures you need to define child abuse, verbal abuse and sexual abuse Create "Touch Policies" Other Issues: Limit adult to athlete contact in practices. (i.e.—adult sliding into a base covered by a youth.) Discourage one on one contact between coach and athlete Monitor the adult to athlete ratio Create a take home/pick up policy Create emergency procedures iiU11Ul11SUiIW1J al LILAC 1 ay., 1 vl 1 6 Your Youth Sports Philosophy When you look at the rather complex issues involving youth sports, the mix of emotions, varying levels of experience, preconceived notions and many differing opinions set the stage for chaos and disruption. Therein lies the main reason that a mission statement and operational philosophy must be framed and reinforced to all involved, on a routine basis. The purpose of the youth sports program must be clearly and emphatically outlined in a mission statement, and the decisions made must be based on this operational framework. It is recommended that the purpose of the program be stated in a concise and clear manner and appear on all printed materials, signs or banners at venues, and anywhere else that will remind everyone why this program exists and what are the desirable outcomes for participants. It is common to create a set of organizational bylaws that make a statement of purpose. But oftentimes, these bylaws reside on the shelf gathering dust and, in the meantime, the program has evolved in ways that hardly resemble the original purpose. We all need to be constantly reminded of things that keep us on track in our daily /es. We can't just read a statement of purpose once and assimilate that into a orking philosophy. Be it educational, spiritual, or physical in nature, it takes concentration and consistent repetition before it becomes a natural part of our being. This is why there is daily schooling, weekly religious services and regular sports practice sessions. By consistent and repetitious analysis of the mission statement and its connection to the operational philosophy, program evolution tends to stay on track, people better understand and work together for the desired outcome, there are fewer disruptions and significantly less chaos. 0 :tp://www.nays.org/article/arta.html 2/6/01 AN RANCISCO, A • YVASHINGTON, 1 • HICAGO, IL DISTANCE LEARNING WITH THE ONLINE ACADEMY Piesi vortc.-...2 ^alp NAY FOR O`c. ` ti Q �G � s Cn o 47 4,1 .� s 449MI0.<;t4* PROGRAMS FOR 2001 ..ir visa ..it_ . , 1 . ,.„-. _. . .... ii: ,. .1%, 44044 4 410- 4 ^ 'F /tom a i Irk 4:~ 111P ALN(444 •1 National Alliance LIANC ' for Youth Sports ., 2050 Vista Parkway ,v,yfmA4 r + Y ., est Palm Beach,FL 33411 800.729.2057tilb I .. ....- t 1.684.1141 fax 56 1.684.2546 1 AirAllitt._ _ '._ , . . e-mail phuestis@nays.org I or www.nays.org Milliiiii.� � ) Qp� Y FoRfrO What is the Academy?
