Mediation en sport.
Are you dealing with conflicts within your sports club or team? Is a contract negotiation between athlete and club stalled? Or is a legal dispute between a coach and a player threatening to sour the atmosphere within the team? With emotions and interests running high, sports conflicts can create complex situations.
Mediation offers a solution which allows you to address these conflicts constructively before they turn into lengthy litigation. At Delissen Martens, our experienced lawyers and mediators are ready to assist you in coming to an appropriate and efficient solution.
When is sports mediation relevant to you?
Mediation can help in a variety of sports situations:
- Conflicts within teams: When players, coaches or others involved within a sports team no longer understand each other and working together seems impossible, mediation provides a safe space to reach mutual understanding.
- Contract disputes: Conflicts over contractual obligations between athletes, clubs and sponsors can be resolved more quickly and less expensively with mediation than through the courts.
- Disputes within sports organizations: Administrative issues or internal disagreements within sports associations can be discussed respectfully through mediation, leading to lasting solutions.
- Disciplinary issues: Even in sports-related disciplinary matters, mediation can help reach a compromise without the need for lengthy legal proceedings.

How do ex-spouses deal with this and what can you expect from your ex-partner in this regard?
