When I was in the Army, we were all punished for the errors of one. While teaching adults to ride motorcycles, we discuss any issues privately one on one.
As a MS coach, I have this same issue this season. Part of my issue is familiarity, I've coached most of these girls in our local league. One of my best is the instigator, always screwing off, not following the rules, getting other girls to go along. But about half the team is like this, the other half plays it straight.
Because it's school ball and a paid position, I'm limited in my means of dealing with it. If it was a TB team, we'd have already had The Talk and the ringleader would be gone.
I wish I had a simple answer for how to deal with the situation, but I'm learning as I go too.
