NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE
Mustangs Youth Sports
Association (MYSA) does not discriminate based on religion, race, sex, creed,
color, disability, citizenship, and national origin. Membership in the MYSA and
member cities is at-will. Mustangs Youth Sports Association is actively
committed to equality of opportunity for all its players, supporters, committee
members and prospective members of the club.
No proposed player or committee member shall receive less favorable treatment
on the grounds of sex, marital status, disability where appropriate, sexual
orientation, color, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins.
No club member shall be subject to victimization or to sexual or racial
harassment.
Every member must follow fair and non-discriminatory practices in their
relationships with one another and in the manner in which they treat people
whilst engaged in activities with MYSA. Those in managerial or committee member
roles carry a responsibility to ensure that these policies are consistently
upheld and applied.
MYSA (Mustangs Youth Sports Association) is a non-profit organization supported entirely through sponsorship and donations. Those who
choose to serve the MYSA, whether as a coach, assistant coach, trainer or a
volunteer, are held to the highest standards of conduct. As guardians of the
ideals and image of the MYSA they assume an obligation to subordinate
individual interests to the interests of the organization. What may be considered
acceptable conduct in some businesses may be inappropriate in service to and
representing MYSA.
Those who serve MYSA must do so without
personal gain, to avoid any institutional loss or embarrassment and to behave
in such a way that the organizations trust and public confidence are enhanced.
It is important to avoid any real conflict of interest, as well as to avoid
even the appearance or perception of a conflict of interest. While no set of
guidelines can guarantee acceptable behavior, the principles which guide
behavior in this area are disclosure, physical absence from, and
non-participation in, the decision-making process where personal or family gain
is a possibility, and a commitment to honor the confidentiality of
organizational information. All conduct is founded on the individual’s own
sense of integrity. Any individual accepting the honor of serving MYSA must
also accept the burdens of public disclosure and public scrutiny.
