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 Football Commissioner and/or PAL Executive Director.
