If I can get between them before there's a punch thrown, I will. Once the punch is thrown, our responsibilities shift to trying to prevent escalation (by keeping bench personnel on the bench), observing, and reporting. Let the head coaches break them up.
That said, it's difficult to fight the instinct to be more involved in restoring order. I've had a varsity soccer contest go to a bench clearing shoving match. I think there were punches thrown but both my partner and I got sucked to far into the scrum to have observed it properly.
Don't make my mistake. Stay back and take numbers.
