Handling Conflicts

How to Manage Conflicts

 

To create a positive experience for your girls in which everyone – coaches, players, parents, officials and spectators – Honors the Game, it will sometimes be necessary to intervene when people misbehave.


Even when everyone knows what is expected of them, emotions can get out of control. When a parent yells at an official about a questionable call, there must be a consequence. Most effective is when other adults (on the same team) intervene to let the misbehaving adult know that his behavior is not acceptable because this is an educational-athletic organization for young athletes, not a professional contest designed to entertain fans.


You can help establish and protect a positive culture for your organization by taking a stand.


Use the How To Intervene section of the PCA Roadmap to Success.


Any other conflicts will need to be addressed to a member of the TGSL Executive Board.
