Ask – Ask the coach to deal with spectators. NEVER, NEVER deal with spectators yourself!

Ask-Tell-Dismiss Approach - Spectators
• “Coach - I'll give you a couple minutes to go over and tell your spectators to stop their dissent.“
• Knowing that if they don't deal with their spectators, the game can be terminated and their team takes a loss … the coach is forced to take action.
