    Your kids says...

    he was punched in the back while playing game, fairly hard. total cheapshot. To be clear, this isn't done while going for ball or an elbow etc but simply a off the ball punch while playing game.

    I tried to handle it a couple different ways but doesn't seem to be working...


    What say the board?

    Did the official catch him or his teammates in retaliation? If so, you must teach him how it's done in a way that doesn't jeopardize the team.

      Tell him that you place blame on the ref for not having clairvoyance to predict was about to happen and he should get over it. If that doesn't work, tell him that soccer is a physical sport and if he can't hack it, take up track.

          Okay let's try again..

          Maybe I'm starting to see a glimpse of where kids start to think it's okay to punch someone while back turned and they don't have the ball....

          Having played I don't think this part of game in any way shape or form.. But maybe kids learning that this is okay?

            This isn't the place to come for parenting advice.

              LOL. But it IS the place to receive plenty.

                Tell him to smash the other kid in 2 next time they play. Live by the sword...

                  When your team attempts to humiliate the other team by putting up 16 goals, they should expect some retaliation. Lesson learned.

                    Would you look for the ref if I walk up behind you in the street and punched you in the back?

                      Why are you trying to handle it?

                      Either the kid deals himself in this game or after. Or he lets it go. Either way it's his decision

                        If your 9 or 10 year old came to you with this problem, that is the advise you would give him?

                        I see that you have a couple of options.
                        1. Retaliate when the ref is not looking. Hard to do
                        2. Come in hard some time and go for the yellow card
                        3. Ignore it and play even harder

                        Out of all the pros that you admire, which one would they choose? That is the one that you should advise your child because that would be the response that you would make you most proud.

                          If we are talking 10 year old the best bet is to ignore it. How hard can a nine year old punch anyway

                          A pro would clean it up with a hard foul either in this game or another

                            Some of the U12 can provide a quality blow..

                            As for how a pro would handle it, I was thinking more about any sport not just soccer. Not all players would retaliate. Some would make it there mission to be you on the court or field and let their game speak for themselves. But if you admire the players that don't take this stuff then by all means recommend that approach.

                            I am not advocate one approach over another. I think they are very personal on how you want your children to respond to this type of behavior. To me none of the options are wrong.
