Norwich council

[Spud]

Could be handy that! Athough in cases like this they either refuse to do it coz we have something on them and they sorta need us or they are really good and dont cause trouble. Done something like this before. Its taking them out of their comfort zone.

[Gixer]

I am always up for helping kids who WANT to be helped and who come along with the right attitude.  It's the ones that come along with the wrong attitude/to trouble cause/take the p!ss that are the nightmares.  Then I really don't know how to handle them.

[Spud]

You tell the ones that dont want to be helped to leave.

[Sx Nutta]

I work with kids at a youth group, and they are all good kids

[Gixer]

Is the best idea to combine trampolining and bocking into one session? 

[webmaster]

with regards to insurance, it costs less than £50 to cover yourselves for a year which is probably the best way to go, I have been in contact with an insurance company who do affliate schemes but Ive asked them if its posible to give the whole discount to the customer rather than the promoter and they said its something they can do and give a discount code. Think they mentioned it would be about 10% which is better than nothing!

If you guys are interested I'll set it up asap.

[Charlie B]

Lots of ways to deal with things and a fair few of them have been covered

Discipline
Setting boundaries that do not change
Incentives for good behavior

Asking those disruptives to leave

With regards to physical aggression, this should be covered right at the beginning i.e immeadiate withdrawl from the program. up to police involvement and prosecution.

Also a good reason why you always need 2 or more instructors/coaches etc and also need to minitor group size.


Council officers generally want to help but always have to answer to thier political and social leaders so do have constraints. best way to get success is to work with them and undertsand thier needs.

[Hoddsy]

Should i email the Easton gym back and tell them that we could insure ourselves?

[Charlie B]

Naz

I would go with the insurance

[magzzie]

means we get to point and laugh at them as they fall over!!! and its not as though bocks come in Burberry is it! and could they afford them???

but then we would get loads of chavs coming to the meet and causing havoc

[Sx Nutta]

hence discipline and apportiate measures asking all people who are are out of control to leave

[hybrid_hex]

When they call ,I will ask what they want us to do, and the people we will be working with, best to leave insurance until we know what and who we are dealing with. I'm sure that it wouldn't be hard to set a group of rules, and I have no trouble with ejecting an individual from the premises, Lets hold off on the stereotyping as well people, most of them are sheep, and when they get shown something the either follow or break away if they have any sense, If we make an example of someone, you would be surprised how many people change.

[Charlie B]

Hex

At a guess the people will come from one of these areas

1)Childrens links
2)Children and Young Peoples Services
3)Youth Service
4)Community
5)Sports Development

An educated guess would be 2) or 4)

lets see if I`m right

[chocl8]

Insurance sounds good Naz, i'm hoping to do lots of advertising over the summer, so it could come in handy...

[hybrid_hex]

They had greenbadges, that's all I can say, and they were backwards.

[Sx Nutta]

might eb the youth development council, if that exists, I know we have something like that in essex, as i do enjoy myself at a youth group being a leader

[Trixter]

I dont know wether this is a good idea any more i mean if we put 100% into this and we just get abused is it going to be worth it or could we just bring aload of bad people into the sport and into meets and give the sport abad image

[hybrid_hex]

As I have said, we might not end up teaching people, just doing displays and advertising, we could always turn down the teaching, give it a go, and if it is the wrong sort of people, then withdraw the teaching.

[Sx Nutta]

well worth a try

[Trixter]

yea i just dont want the group to be infected with loads of k**bs to be honest i mean the group we have now is really good theres no1 init i dont like except maggzie lol

just dont want the sport and more specifcly our group to get a bad image took alot of gettin us all together from me and carl organising the logo to the group recruitment

[carlgreen]

rob has a good point i must say we have all worked hard to get where we are now and i just dont wanna see it go downhill because of some scummy chavs

but i would be willing to come and teach and give them a chance also be willing to do displays

[Sx Nutta]

i agree there, shows i will be happy to do, teaching only if they want to learn how to

[Dark Knight]

Teaching is a bit of a odd thing to do ? If someone wants to do bocking you really need to buy some 
It not the sort of thing you'd do once thing couple of weeks in a sports center ?
I know it might get more people bocking but if they really want to take up bock ... come see us at a meet  
There where two bambi's on saturday both got on well    

[Trixter]

i think teaching is a weird thing to do and hav to agree with DK i dont think we will be able to get people into it just by doing a session in a sports hall once a month or something the best way to learn is have your own bocks that way you practice inbtween meets and care about it i could see us ending up with aload of kids or stupid chavs turning up not caring and having to teach the same thing over and over again

[Sx Nutta]

so buy your own kit, and learn with us
