ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS

 

  • In the event of an on-field or off-field issue involving a player or parent from either team, the matter should be brought to the coach or manager of the WCJCC team in the first instance.

  • In cases where the coach or manager is unable to resolve an issue brought to them to the satisfaction of all concerned, the coach or manager is to elevate the issue to the WCJCC Grade Coordinator.

  • In cases where the WCJCC Grade Coordinator is unable to resolve an issue elevated to them to the satisfaction of all concerned, the WCJCC Grade Coordinator is to elevate the issue to the WCJCC Committee.
