| Little League Rage |
| In the United States we have become familiar today with several new terms such as road rage to describe the rise of violence on the highway, and roid rage to describe the violent affect of using steroids. Today, a new term is entering the vocabulary, little league rage, which refers to the increase in violence at youth sport games.
This presentation will examine the rise of violence in youth sport and will offer suggestions for making sport safer and a better experience for everyone. |
