Strategies

Club Membership

  • Ongoing membership through expanding the program to middle school, and high school.
  • Limited numbers.
  • Leadership opportunities.

Awareness

  • Focusing on skill development and independent practice time are ways to emphasize effort and self-direction.
  • Providing peer coaching opportunities and having special rules, like all-touch or soft defense, are ways to emphasize respecting others.

Empowerment

  • Emphasizing that participation is the choice of the child.
  • Providing opportunities for choices, input, and problem solving. To be effective, at least some suggestions must be taken.
  • Evaluation of their performance during reflection time and on the reflection sheets is their responsibility.
  • Management is their responsibility too. Negotiating and positive dialogue are often used when serious conflicts occur. Contractual escalation is used for more serious misbehaviors.

Caring Environment

  • We have a large number of caring adults in the gym. There are six staff members and several volunteers. A mentor works with each club member at his/her at school.
  • Praise, empathy, and affirmation of their decisions are used to create a positive environment.
