Dealing with Disputes Internally
Offering an internal appeal process that is fair and coherent with the rules of natural justice will increase your organization’s credibility in the eyes of your members and help preserve relationships within your closely-knit community.

Resolution Facilitation : The Alternative that Works
A Resolution Facilitator (RF) can help people work through sports-related disputes, understand how arbitrations might be conducted, and solve problems that need not go to arbitration. In a consultation session with an RF, the focus will be on the parties’ underlying interests to help them find a workable resolution that they can all accept. The RF can also inform people involved in sports disputes about what might happen at arbitration, based on how other similar cases were resolved in the past

Preventing Team Selection Disputes
Responsible NSOs recognize the importance of a sound team selection policy to ensure that the best athletes are indeed selected, and also to avoid disputes leading up to a major competition. When such disputes arise just before an important event, they are disruptive for the entire team and they take the focus of the athletes away from their sport preparation.

Keeping the Peace
In the history of coach vs. athlete confrontations, a few title bouts stand out: the string of Bobby Knight incidents, Latrell Sprewell's "hands-on" approach to conflict resolution, and those repeated personality clashes between John Elway and Dan Reeves in Denver. But away from the public eye, athletic directors at the high school and college level face countless more conflicts that they must defuse-not so much to keep the disagreement off the front page of the sports section, but to restore a functional harmony to a team or program.
