he rush of energy athletes and
recreational participants experience during a game is not
just limited to the game. It's
present leading up to and following the
game and can manifest itself in rough,
boisterous and sometimes destructive behavior. Coaches and instructors need to
be able to channel and redirect that energy in a positive way. Whatever the lure
- a playground (no matter how old the
player), pool or stream, or even a tree -
the program is vulnerable to allegations
of negligent supervision should an accident or incident occur in the immediate

anything or anyone that gets in the way
of their pursuit. Coaches have even been
known to send cleated players onto a rooftop to retrieve a foul ball or two.
