Abstract

This study examined the difference in prevalence and the vision of children, aged 10 to 12 years, regarding the nature of bullying in sport clubs and how this can be prevented or resisted. Questionnaires were used to acces information regarding the prevalence of victimization and bullying. Eightteen in-dept interviews where used to acces information regarding the perception of children on bullying, their role and the approach of their coaches. This was analysed according to a qualitative method. Children had a good perception on the various aspects of bullying and how to adress it. They had a different view on their own perceived role in bullying than they were classefied with. The implications of this study were (1) more supervision, (2) visualisation of rules and protocols, (3) involve children more in prevention programs and (4) make children aware of the presence of bullying
