COACHING

·        Coaching is considered to be communication, advice or instruction of any kind, audible or visible, to a player.

·        A Coach/Captain may coach the player(s) when the players change ends at the end of a game, but not when the players change ends after the first game and not during a tie-break game. 

·        One person may be designated as the Coach of a team and must be registered with the tournament and identified with a Coach nametag.

·        Coaches should remain outside the fence.

·        Coaching should be a positive reinforcement to your player and not against the opponent. 

·        A player is not allowed to be coached, if the coaching is given by signals during play.

·        Any violation of these Coaching policies may result in the suspension of the coaching privileges and point penalties.

·        We strongly recommend having both a Team Manager and a Coach.
