The 24hr rule is a rule that is in place to help keep peace between the coach and parent’s.

The rule is simple. Parents can’t approach the coach about issues until after 24hrs of the competition.

1. To allow the parent’s to calm down after the issue has developed

2. Allow the coach to calm down after the competition

3. Give parents and coaches time to think about the problem

4. To prevent any unnecessary acts or scenes in front of players and other parent’s

5. Calmer heads will prevail

6. To stop any embarrassing moments in front of the Players or child

7. The hope that time to think about the issues will help to solve the problem in a positive manner and the right resolution

Sometimes in the heat of the moment parent’s and coaches say things that they really don’t mean. This can hurt the player or team because things where not handled correctly. The parent & Coach relationship is important, but the overall decisions should be based on what is best for the team and players. The rule is in place to help protect the players and team.
