Just stumbled acrosss a match report from an Under 8's game and was stunned by both the tome and content of it and wondered what other people think.

www.pitchero.com/clubs/hullwykea ... _id=690370

Is this right for a team of 8 year old to be obsessed with winning and putting derrogatary comments about the opposition on a publically accessible forum.

Incidentally putting the score on site like this is in direct contravention of the RFL's Child protection guidlines as well.

My thougts are that kids rugby at this age should be about fun and developing skills and team work not simply about creating a win at all costs mentally. The match report talks about " focussing on the job in hand" and describes the opposition as "looking all washed out".

Am I overreacting or is this part of where we go wrong in this country?

Quote: R.B.A "I know it does but it is just that this particular instance has been brought up by the OP. The chances are that if we checked other clubs websites then we may find similar reports. I would expect more from a club like Hull Wyke though and would have thought that somebody at the club would be keeping an eye on match reports and coaches/helpers attitudes.'"


You have to remember that match reporters have differing skills and reports are personal rather than to club standards.

Think there is plenty of 'officals' keeping eyes on match reports though.

The report in question made for difficult reading with the CAPS LOCK ON!

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason. -[i:1c45x4hd]Emmitt Smith[/i:1c45x4hd]:



don't forget kids themselves are very competitive at that age and giving them a push could mean they improve further. Not condoning it just saying it's the case, I help out coaching u10s hockey and was there myself a few years ago and the main group of lads are all very competitive and we get plenty of tantrums and sometimes if you push them a little during training exercises it reduces tension between the lads themselves and they just get on with playing instead of bickering about who's better

never anything to the extent of what's in that match report though

Yes kids are nturally competitive but not to that extent at that age.

I would challenge anyone to ask a team of Under 8's after a game to tell them the exact score and I will guarantee that you will get no more than a couple getting it right if any at all. At that age kids just want to play and that is what should be encouraged

Couldnt agree more its all about them getting confidence and enjoying the game at the moment my lad plays for east hull u7s and loves the game.
