I coach wrestling here at my middle school. We have a 14 year old 8th grade girl Paige who is very pretty and was a cheerleader last year, decide to wrestle. Unfortunately she isnt very good. When we wrestle in practice, I think some boys may grope her butt and try to get some " free " feels. She hasnt complained but I noticed some things. Should I leave it alone or say something?

well she did report on one kid, you called call him a "nerd", and most of the kids that do it you could call "popular" so it might be that she likes the attention which would be an even major problem

I thought that things like this weren't allowed. If this girl wants to be in wrestling that great. However, I'm sure she doesn't wanna be groped or felt up by her team mates. If she hasn't said anything its probably because she's scared that rumors might start, or she'll get kicked out of wrestling or any other sport that she'd like to join. I suggest that you talk the team have the counselors and principle attend so that everyone when can let the guys know that its wrong to do certain things to other team mates no matter if they're male or female its just wrong. Let them know that if you see that it continues than that you as well as the counselor and principal will take matters into your hands. Which will include getting suspended from school, not able to join other sports and parents will be notified. I'm sure this will scare them all and it'll stop.. Take care and good luck...

Have a little talk with the boys. Don't single any of them out, just remind them to respect their team-mate and not to use this time to try and get a free feel. Don't point out any examples, just make sure they know that you've been watching and that they should be more aware of what they are doing. I'm sure some of it is accidental during the heat of the match, but just giving them a heads up would be a good idea.

Maybe you could do some sensitivity and team building exercises with the kids. Regardless if she likes the attention or not if you have feelings that the boys maybe taking advantage of the situation it is up to you to provide the rules and guidance as to what is considered appropriate behavior. So she might not be that good but no one is when they first start. Everyone on a team should learn to act as a team and be supportive of one another regardless of their gender or skill level. Maybe get the kids involved in coming up with a list of appropriate rules then get them printed and posted in different areas to serve as a reminder. Also let them know what consequences they can expect if they don't follow them. Then it's up to you to follow those and be consistent.

you're not a coach! look at your spelling and sentence structure. if you were a coach, you'd know what to do. you have a duty to report these things. how old are you? 13?
