All CLL Board members must read, sign and date this Code of Conduct.

As a volunteer Board Member of the Coolidge Little League (CLL), you have an important role in the delivery of a successful Baseball and Softball program to our community. The Executive Board of Directors would like to thank you for volunteering your time to help make the CLL a better organization. We hope that your reason(s) for joining the CLL Board include making decisions that are for the benefit of the league as a whole. Therefore, we ask that you agree to the following:

1. I will enforce the rules and by-laws of the CLL.

2. I will put the safety of our players, spectators, coaches and umpires first.

3. As a representative of the CLL, my conduct and behavior must remain professional and civil at all times.

4. I understand that like the children on our teams, the Board of Directors must operate as a team to be successful.

5. I will refrain from speaking negatively about Board members, Coaches, Parents, Players, Fans or Umpires on the little league premises (and this should also apply to off the Little League premises).

6. If I am also a coach, I will not attempt to use my Board Member position to improperly influence the drafting process, to improperly influence the All Star selection process or otherwise use my position to gain an unfair advantage for any child or for my team.

7. It is understood that differences of opinions will always exist. When they occur, I will handle and resolve the differences in a civil manner that would be expected of an adult.

8.As a member of this Board, I understand that I am open to criticism from the public and I will handle in the appropriate and a civil manner that would be expected from an adult.

9. It is understood that all volunteers Board Members have responsibilities outside of the CLL. However, we must require a minimum commitment level from each Board Member. All Board members must complete the following minimum requirements or be subject to removal from the CLL Board of Directors by a majority vote:

 Complete at least one (1) Director on Duty (DOD) shift per week during the 7 week regular season (unless the CLL Board of Directors exempts you from this requirement by a majority vote). You cannot complete a DOD shift while coaching a game.
 Attend at least 50% of the Board meetings each year(unless the CLL Board of Directors exempts you from this requirement by a majority vote).

I have read and understand the above Coolidge Little league Board Member Code of Conduct and agree to perform my Board of Director duties per this Code of Conduct. Intentional disregard to these responsibilities will subject me to further action, including possible removal from the CLL Board of Directors and/or from any coaching position.
