What is Phoenix Sports participant behavior policy?
While participant behavior is not usually an issue at Phoenix Sports programs, we have a simple protocol in place to manage behavior challenges with participants.
The first step when a participant is experiencing behavioral issues is to have a one on one discussion with the child to better understand the situation and figure out the best strategy to help the child. If the negative behavior continues, we have the child take a short timeout where they control the duration. When the child is ready to return, they may rejoin the camp activities.
If there is a second behavior incident on the same day, the child may be placed in a second timeout. If applicable, the coach may sit with the child and discuss the child’s actions, determine the cause and what a better solution could have been.
If behavior challenges continue, the parent will be contacted by the on-site director to seek additional support. In extremely rare cases, a child may be removed from camp for the day and/or removed from future programs during the week.
If the parents or guardians have questions about Phoenix Sports behavior policy. Please contact Phoenix Sports directly at
