Bylaws: SPORTSMANSHIP COMMITTEE (Article 9)
Bylaws: SPORTSMANSHIP COMMITTEE (Article 9)
The Sportsmanship Committee is established to handle parental, coaching, and participant complaints/issues that occur from time to time within the internal structure of the PTJFA as well as communicate complaints about opposing team/coach conduct to the Board of Directors.
Selection process:
At the beginning of each football season and after the Teams from each age level are divided and established, the incoming Parent Volunteer Director will facilitate nominations and a voting process from each team to select one (1) individual to represent each age level. The vote must occur within 7 days of the team splits. Age levels will be determined as listed by the current Route 19 League By-laws. For example; 6/7, 8/9, 10/11, 12, 13 as represented by 5 different individuals. If there is no team in a given age level participating in the current league affiliation, then there will be no Sportsmanship Committee representation at that age level.
Role of the Sportsmanship Committee Director:
The role of the Sportsmanship Committee Director is to facilitate a consensus decision upon any issues that are brought forth to the Sportsmanship Committee and present those issues to the PTJFA Board of Directors for a vote on the suggested resolution by the Sportsmanship Committee. The Committee may make recommendations on sanctions or suspensions, as well as the recommended resolution to the PTJFA Board of Directors. The Sportsmanship Committee Director will make every effort to resolve issues/disputes to the satisfaction of all parties involved prior to presenting the issue/dispute to the PTJFA Board of Directors.
Committee procedure:
The Sportsmanship Committee will meet separately from the PTJFA Board of Directors. The meeting may take place consecutively with the regularly scheduled PTJFA Board meetings so that decisions may be communicated to the PTJFA Board at the regularly scheduled meeting. Sportsmanship Committee Meetings may also take place on separate occasions from the PTJFA Board meeting.
Participants within the PTJFA may approach any representative at any age level within the Sportsmanship Committee with an issue or dispute.
If there is a direct conflict, or participation in a disputed issue within the Sportsmanship Committee or PTJFA Board of Directors, that Member/Director must excuse himself from participating in the vote to resolve the issue. The Member/Director may provide testimony to the Sportsmanship Committee if he or she so wishes.
The Sportsmanship Committee will hear testimony from participants on both sides of the dispute within the Sportsmanship Committee meeting.
All issues that are brought before the Sportsmanship Committee and voted upon by the PTJFA Board of Directors are final and binding, not subject to appeal to the PTJFA Board of Directors.
