Volunteers
Interested in volunteering or coaching?
We are always looking for help. HOWEVER, Warwick PAL has a very comprehensive selection process including an application, a background screening and an interview.
Warwick PAL's priority is to protect our players and families from those who engage in criminal activity, demonstrate repeated questionable behavior, place others in harm's way, and/or have been disruptive within similar organizations. We want Warwick PAL to offer competitive programs in a safe family-centered environment with as little drama as possible.
If you’re interested in any Warwick Police Athletic League program, you must complete an extensive application to include prior involvement at other organizations, provide your personal information for local and national criminal background screening then complete all required trainings if selected.
Falsifying information and/or omissions are grounds for initial denial and for removal in the event the proper information is discovered post Warwick PAL approval.
WARWICK PAL FAMILY EXPECTATIONS
Athletes and their families (parents, grandparents, guardians, siblings, etc.) who participate in any Warwick Police Athletic League programs shall maintain behavior that reflects positively and promotes good sportsmanship. All have the following responsibilities:
Abide by the rules established by Warwick PAL and all governing entities, including zero tolerance of inappropriate or disrespectful behavior towards all players, all coaches, all volunteers, and all officials. Promote team unity and support decisions made by the coaching staff, including playing time.
Be respectful especially on social media. Any negative posts and/or comments directed at a coach, player or parent will not be tolerated and the person subject to penalties that may include suspension from attending future games and practices. Promote team unity.
Respect that all team practices are for players and coaches only. Parents do not need to interject themselves or create a distraction.
No bullying!
Do not engage in physical altercations of any type.
To not be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (prescription, marijuana or illicit) which interferes with the proper care and attention necessary to supervise children.
We encourage players, coaches, officials, and spectators to respect each other and the game by creating a positive enthusiastic environment. Poor sportsmanship by athletes, parents, family members and spectators will not be tolerated. People who fail to comply with our Family Expectations will be subject to penalties that may include suspension from attending future games and practices. Those who engage in a physical altercation will be subject to an immediate suspension.
HOW TO HANDLE COMPLAINTS OR CONFLICTS
If an issue arises, parents must communicate with the head coach and/or board president of the sport privately and respectfully. We encourage parents to schedule a meeting the following day after the game/practice when the issue happened to allow the emotions to settle down.
If a conflict cannot be resolved between parents and the head coach and/or board president, an additional meeting will be arranged with the Cheer Commissioner and/or PAL Executive Director.
