Code of Conduct

The California Breeze Organization wants all athlete members to have healthy strong bodies enabling high intensity competitive play. The California Breeze, therefore, has a “zero-tolerance” policy toward the use of illegal drugs (as the law defines by substance and age). Any player and/or coach caught in possession of, under the influence of, and/or using any illegal substance during a Breeze function, tournament, trip, or practice will be immediately released and banned for life from the Breeze Organization.       

Section 1       Code of Conduct Where as the mission of the California Breeze Organization is to provide every possible opportunity for each player to become the best scholar/athlete possible, with an emphasis on sportsmanship.  This organization feels it is critical that all Organizational Officers, Coaching staffs, Managers and Parents set an example of proper conduct through professionalism, sportsmanship and integrity.  Although Standards of Conduct are a part of the A.S.A. National Code, The California Breeze Organization demands a higher level of behavior from any individual(s) affiliated with the California Breeze Organization.  Listed below are actions not permitted by the California Breeze Organization?

 

1.  Inappropriate conduct or any derogatory action on or off the playing field.

2.  Verbal or physical attack or threat upon an umpire, ASA official, parents, player or coach.

3.  Playing under an assumed name or falsifying an official ASA document.

4.  Commission of any acts that are contrary to the objectives, mission or purposes of the California Breeze Organization and A.S.A.

 

Any Organization Officer, Coach, Manager, Player, Parent or affiliated individual(s), can be penalized for being found not in compliance with this Code of Conduct.

Section 2       Code of Conduct Board At the beginning of each season, each team shall nominate one parent to be part of a Code of Conduct Board (CCB) to be convened at the time an alleged conduct infraction has been brought to the attention of any Executive Board member.  An investigation shall be conducted by the CCB, including interviews and testimonials.  At the conclusion of each investigation, a report including a recommended course of action (or non-action) will be presented to the Executive Board.  The Executive Board may or may not act on this recommendation.  All actions, or a non-action maybe appealed by the effected party(s), including the CCB, to the California Breeze General Board for review and repel or action. Any individual on the CCB or Executive Board directly involved with the alleged incident(s), or presenting a conflict of interest with the investigation, shall be removed from that specific process.
