Conflict Resolution

At the Associated Club or Affiliated Partner level, conflict resolution in pickleball may involve a certified mediator when disputes cannot be resolved between parities. The mediator provides a neutral, structured process to hear both sides, clarify rules, and guide participants toward a fair outcome. This ensures consistency, preserves relationships, and maintains a respectful environment.

A great reason (and there are many others—including support through Becoming an Affiliated Club or Associated Partner) behind the idea of becoming a Pickleball BC Association (“PBCA”) club or partner is:

• Advisory conflict resolution assistance with a certified PBCA mediator at no additional cost

The bottom line in conflict resolution relies on clear communication and mutual respect between parities. When there is a serious issue between Club, or Partner, and its member, then a mediator is required.
