- SCCYSC Grievance Policy: Effective May 2012
The Santa Cruz City Youth Soccer Club (SCCYSC) strives to maintain a positive environment for all players to learn and play soccer. To foster this environment, the entire SCCYSC community – including coaches, players, and parents – must make efforts to ensure their actions are in the best interests of all players. When an issue arises that cannot be resolved directly between the parties, a grievance may be submitted to the SCCYSC Board’s Grievance Committee.
The Grievance Committee shall consist of the President, Vice President, and either the Recreational Teams Coordinator (if the grievance involves a recreational team) or the Advanced Teams Coordinator (if the grievance involves an advanced team). If the grievance is filed against the person holding one of the above positions, the other two members of the committee shall select a third member from the rest of the SCCYSC Board.
Procedure:
- Discuss the matter with the coach of your childs team. No such discussions may take place when the coach is coaching a game or a practice, nor immediately before or after any game or practice, unless the coach has previously agreed to schedule a discussion at such times. No children may be present during your discussion with the coach. For issues arising from games or practices, you must wait until the following day to contact the coach.
- If your discussion with the coach does not resolve the issue, contact the applicable Coordinator (Recreation Teams or Advanced Teams). If the coordinator is unable to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, you may file a formal grievance with the Board.
- Formal grievances may be submitted by email (info@santacruzsoccer.com or to the current President) or by mail (Grievance Committee, SCCYSC, P.O. Box 2039, Santa Cruz, CA 95063). Please document the problem, the steps taken to resolve the matter, and your proposed solution to the problem.
- Within 72 hours of receiving a formal grievance, the Grievance Committee shall appoint a Board member to investigate the grievance. The Board member may be one of the three Grievance Committee members or another Board member. The appointed investigator will contact and interview the parties involved and witnesses in a thorough, fair, and timely manner and will document the interviews. Within one week after being appointed to investigate, the investigator shall submit the written documentation to the Grievance Committee along with a recommendation.
- The Grievance Committee will consider the investigators recommendation within 48 hours of receipt and either adopt the recommendation or make a different recommendation. The Grievance Committee will report the results of the grievance to the full Board at the next scheduled meeting.
- Where the issue is likely to impact an upcoming game, the Grievance Committee shall make all efforts to resolve the grievance prior to the next game.
- The Grievance Committees recommendation may be appealed to the Santa Cruz County Youth Soccer League, by email to president@sccysl.org, by submission on the League website (http://www.sccysl.org/contact.html) or by mail at P.O. Box 2035, Santa Cruz, 95062.
- All documentation of grievances will be maintained by the Board for two years.
