Protocol Do not volunteer explanations of your calls. If coach or captain asks, pleasantly give an explanation. Use red and yellow cards as deterrents to inappropriate behavior. The yellow card is nothing more than a warning. No penalty is attached. The red card results in a penalty, either point or point and serve. The coach is your best ally. If things get difficult, stop and talk things over. After the match, do not linger around and socialize.
