As a teacher and coach, I explain to club members that this activity has to be fun for the mentors too. We are volunteers. If students are being disrespectful on a continuous basis it is no longer fun, and I would invite them to leave, give them consequences, or find some way to make it less fun for the offending students. Mostly they just stop coming. I am not sure that there is anything you can do as a student, except to bring this up with the coach. Probably they are aware of it.

You want to be careful not to just drive off students because they appear unproductive. We have club after school. It's a lot to ask for students to be completely productive after 8 hours of school. Look at your team structure. Does everyone have a clear task to do? Is there a student lead for each team? Organization is key to productive teams.

Hope this helps!
