Umpire & Club Protocols Umpire & Club Protocols Expectation of Clubs 1. Clubs Code of Conduct The League’s code of conduct has been incorporated into its by-laws and penalties are now in place where breaches are found to have occurred. [For the purposes of the rule the Home Club’s executive assumes responsibility for dealing with the complaint.] Clubs are responsible for the conduct of their players, parents/carers of players, coach’s, officials and spectators. Zero Tolerance There is “zero tolerance” toward anyone who either physically or verbally abuses or intimidates an umpire. On field, the umpire has the discretion to award a 50m penalty, send the player from the field, or report the player. Off the field, the umpire can report the club for not maintaining control of their spectators, officials or coaches. Code of Conduct breaches go to the Independent Tribunal and the penalties are severe. Be Proactive If spectators are abusing the umpire, don’t wait for the umpires to lodge a complaint through the Interchange Steward or their Escort. It is too late! Make your club members aware of the consequences of umpire abuse and ensure that committee members point this out to spectators on the day of the game. 2. Physical Treatment of Umpires The CMFNL have put into place a procedure whereby if an umpire needs treatment prior to a match, such as ankles strapped or legs massaged or becomes injured during the match, club medical staff are agreeable that they will assist in the treatment of this umpire where required. 3. Umpire Change Rooms The umpires are part of the game and are guests of your club. The ‘rule of thumb’ is; “what you do for your players you also do for the umpires”. There are minimum requirements and umpires appreciate clubs that exceed expectations: Clean and tidy rooms. Hot showers at the end of the game. Bottled water, no alcoholic beverages. Football(s) delivered prior to the game. Expectation of Umpires 4. Umpires Code of Practice The Central Murray Football & Netball League Umpires Code of Practice enables the League to clearly state the professional expectations common to all umpires in the implementation of the League’s goals and priorities. The commitment of all umpires to consistently apply these values, follow the policies and practices will lead to the development of a supportive umpiring environment, as well as promoting the development of football. Values Behaviours We are committed to continual improvement of our umpiring skills and A professional attitude sharing excellent practices is valued and We keep ourselves up to date with current umpiring practice and expected in all programs activities We take responsibility for our own professional improvement We share professional ideas and expertise with our colleagues We display fairness and uniformity in applying the Laws of Australian Football and the CMFNL By-Laws We are honest in our assessment of situations We are consistent and courteous in calling all infractions On the field we display We condemn deliberate fouls as being unsporting and promote fair play fairness and and appropriate sporting behaviour consistency We ensure that the health and safety of the players is the number one priority when making decisions We do not engage in physical and/or verbal intimidation, abuse or conduct toward any player, official, or supporter We act and present ourselves at all times in a professional manner and as a positive role model Each individual is We foster a supportive and tolerant environment treated with respect We value and appreciate the strengths and skills of others and trust We treat all players, coaches, officials, spectators and colleagues equitably, fairly and courteously We promote respect and loyalty to the practices of our organisation On the field we share ideas and work load We willingly provide feedback when asked We participate in and contribute ideas to discussion and planning Cooperation and We recognise and acknowledge what we can achieve as an organisation teamwork are valued We value the role of all individuals in our organisation and respect their right to express a point of view We adhere to decisions reached by consensus 5. Match Day Arrangements Regardless of which game you are umpiring it is imperative to inspect the ground. The inspection needs to take into account that all ground markings are correct, goal and behind posts have the correct padding and the ground surface is clear of any dangerous hazards (such as raised sprinkler heads). If any potential problems exist, use common sense and diplomacy in raising the matter with the Home Club Grounds Manager. Ensure the match day footballs meet the necessary requirements well before the commencement of the game. Ensure all team sheets are submitted prior to the match and they are accurate, completed and signed. (Check that all club officials are listed) Ensure before the scheduled match commencement and team officials are seated on the bench, which is located well back from the boundary line and the match starts on time. Visit the player’s rooms about 10 to 15 minutes before the game. Do not interrupt the coach addressing his team. In senior matches you will be provided with two new footballs, the visiting captain chooses the one you will use. In each room, introduce yourself to the coach and captain. If there are new rules being introduced it is appropriate to remind players. At the end of the match, Match Day paperwork will be completed and placed in the envelope. After the seniors, the Match Day envelope containing all paperwork will be delivered to the Match Day Secretary. At the end of the senior’s game it is important that the Umpires’ room is tidied and any rubbish put in the bins. It is expected that umpires before they depart their venues, socialise for a short time in the home club rooms. Umpires need to be seen as an integral part of the game. .

  • Sportsmanship Statement & Umpire Harassment Policy Coaches—Reading This Policy Is Your Entire Team's Warning!
    Sportsmanship Statement & Umpire Harassment Policy Coaches—Reading this policy is your entire team’s warning! It is your responsibility to ensure that all persons involved with your team have received this policy, as it is the only warning you and your team will receive. Umpire abuse WILL NOT be tolerated from anyone! Any offense reported or seen shall be dealt with immediately by the UIC, by a league commissioner or by any board member. Coaches, players and parents DO NOT argue or harass an umpire. The umpire is in charge of the game. If there is a question, please ask the question, DO NOT challenge the umpire’s call. Coaches are in charge of their players, parents and anyone else associated with their team. It is the coach’s responsibility to keep them under control. When your team is at bat, the only people on the field are the first base coach, the third base coach, any runners, the batter and the on-deck batter. All other players, coaches, scorekeepers and anyone else associated with your team should be either in the dugout or behind the fence. Please keep your players and fans back from the fence and do not allow hanging on the fences. This is for their safety. Defensive coaching is only allowed in the co-ed league.

  • Umpire/Coach/Player Respect Policy NLLB Is Committed to Providing Every Participant with a Positive Baseball Experience
    Naperville Little League Baseball (NLLB) Umpire/Coach/Player Respect Policy NLLB is committed to providing every participant with a positive baseball experience. The fabric of a youth participation sports league is held together by good sportsmanship and a mutual respect of all involved. This policy addresses expectations, and when failures, penalties. Umpires - NLLB utilizes youth umpires and sees this program as an additional benefit to the youth of our community. Most of the umpires are minors dealing with adults, trying to be equitable in applying the rules of the game, and unfortunately once a coach intimates or upstages a youngster/umpire, no good can come of it. NLLB can’t function without these youngsters, and to that end our position usually is, that on the baseball field, the umpire right or wrong, is to be assumed right. Umpire abuse at its simplest is defined as any deliberate action that makes an umpire feel physically threatened verbally intimidated or emotionally humiliated. Disrespectfully objecting t o calls, yelling at, publicly calling, constantly disagreeing with an umpire either verbally or by action can be deemed umpire abuse. Coaches/Managers should show decorum, respect and observe all game rules whenever questioning an umpire about a call. In turn, an umpire should do the same when in discussion with a coach. Coaches – NLLB also can not function without the hundreds of volunteers that manage and coach our kids. Coaches are expected to fill out an umpire evaluation form after each game, rating their game experience with that umpire. (If a coach continually submits such reviews, if he needs to submit a negative review, the fact that he/she has submitted previous reviews will weigh heavy in their favor.) If there is an incident, the matter should be discussed in a low-key manner, between the umpire and either one, or both, of the managers (not parents, players, or coaches).

  • IV. Fabric Summary 282 Copyrighted Material
    Eastern State Penitentiary HSR: IV. Fabric Summary 282 IV. FABRIC SUMMARY: CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATIONS, AND USES OF SPACE (for documentation, see Appendices A and B, by date, and C, by location) Jeffrey A. Cohen § A. Front Building (figs. C3.1 - C3.19) Work began in the 1823 building season, following the commencement of the perimeter walls and preceding that of the cellblocks. In August 1824 all the active stonecutters were employed cutting stones for the front building, though others were idled by a shortage of stone. Twenty-foot walls to the north were added in the 1826 season bounding the warden's yard and the keepers' yard. Construction of the center, the first three wings, the front building and the perimeter walls were largely complete when the building commissioners turned the building over to the Board of Inspectors in July 1829. The half of the building east of the gateway held the residential apartments of the warden. The west side initially had the kitchen, bakery, and other service functions in the basement, apartments for the keepers and a corner meeting room for the inspectors on the main floor, and infirmary rooms on the upper story. The latter were used at first, but in September 1831 the physician criticized their distant location and lack of effective separation, preferring that certain cells in each block be set aside for the sick. By the time Demetz and Blouet visited, about 1836, ill prisoners were separated rather than being placed in a common infirmary, and plans were afoot for a group of cells for the sick, with doors left ajar like others.
