Rules about making rules Contexte Compétition – Développement Manage a sport program Rules about making rules Rules are best when they describe specific behaviors that can be observed and enforced. Unenforceable rules will not be taken seriously by athletes. Develop a list of rules that are needed to govern team behavior, but keep the list as brief as possible. State rules in positive terms, defining what players ought to do, not just what to avoid. Rules such as ‘no shirt, no shoes etc …’ are a turnoff to many people. Rules should reflect mutual respect and responsibility between you and your players.

Rules about making rules Contexte Compétition – Développement Manage A Sport Program Rules about making rules Rules should be specific and clear. Imagine a road sign that said: Drive at a prudent speed. Vague rules leave room for misinterpretation. On the other hand, don’t make rules overly restrictive so that they violate dignity or common sense. Rules and responsibilities should serve your players, not vice versa. Players are less likely to follow rules that they see as stupid or punitive. Rules should be created for a good reason, not just because you said so. Establish logical consequences for rule violations.
