On-Court Concerns
If there are on-court concerns regarding the Coach or coaching decisions, please talk to your athlete first. They often have more information or an explanation for decisions or actions of the coaches.
If there is a concern, please follow the respectful communication protocols:
-
NEVER confront a coach during a tournament
Emotions for all parties tend to be escalated during competition so it is not the ideal situation or confidential environment to effectively address concerns -
ALWAYS follow the 24 hour rule (take 24 hours from the start of the concern, prior to addressing it with coaches).
Please talk to your athlete before talking to the Coaches and consider multiple viewpoints. -
after the 24 hours has elapsed:
-
athlete speaks to coaches before or after practice
-
if concern not resolved: athlete/parent communicates the concern to coaches who will address it as appropriate via TeamSnap or
email: wetaskiwinvolleyballclub@gmail.com Attn: COACH NAME -
if concern not resolved: athlete/parent emails the Club who will address the concern as appropriate
email: wetaskiwinvolleyballclub@gmail.com Attn: BOARD
