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 the Director of the LGSL House League through the leagues e-mail address: house@leesburggirlssoftball.org.
