Senario: A coach of a U11 club team selects 8 players from her 12 player roster and asks the parents of those players to attend an unsanctioned youth tournament. The other 4 players/parents were not contacted and were kept in the dark.
The parents are instructed to be evasive about where they are going when asked and told not to post anything on social media about it.
The club has a clear expectation that tournament attendance is to be club board approved.
Someone slips up and posts some pictures on Facebook garnering a lot of “WTF” type questions from the board and the parents of the players that were not asked to go.
The coach, once put on the spot, says “This was nothing official and was just a bunch of parents that got together to do this.” Her child is on the team and is one of the players that attended.
The social media posts clearly show her and her asst. coach on the sideline coaching the team of 8 players and two guests.
Neither the players or coaches wore their regular club gear to this event as they were instructed not to by the coach.
How should the club board handle this?
