Gather information and document eyewitness accounts of the event(s) that took place <br /> from interested parties involved to determine if a violation of the letter or intent of the <br /> Coaches' Code of Ethics Pledge has occurred. This may include the site supervisor, <br /> game officials, other coaches,parents and children. <br /> 2. Require the coach to attend a meeting with the league supervisor to address <br /> the complaint and to offer his/her side of the incident. This meeting will be <br /> documented. <br /> 3. The Mason Parks &Recreation Department has the authority to determine the <br /> severity of the situation and whether or not the affected coach has violated the <br /> expected behaviors outlined under each of the canons of the Code of Ethics Pledge <br /> that comprise the NYSCA Code of Conduct. <br /> 4. The Chapter Director, after approval from Mason Parks & Recreation Department, <br /> has the authority to enforce the appropriate range of disciplinary actions outlined in <br /> the NYSCA Coaches' Code of Conduct. If disciplinary action is taken then the <br /> Chapter Director will report to the NYSCA in brief, the nature of the complaint, the <br /> findings of the investigation, and the sanction applied to the member coach. This <br /> information will be logged in the member's file. <br /> 5. If the Mason Parks &Recreation Department decides to revoke a coach's <br /> certification, NYSCA Headquarters will notify the coach of both the revocation and <br /> the procedures to appeal to the National Executive Board. The Chapter Director will <br /> be sent a copy of the correspondence. This information will also be logged in the <br /> coach's file. <br /> 11 <br />
