Association members are required to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times on and off the field of play. Conduct that is detrimental to the Association at any game, regardless of level, by a nonparticipating official representing themselves as a parent, coach or spectator will not be tolerated
Harassment or ridicule of a fellow official during or after any contest by a member of this association will be considered misconduct. Any member that violates this policy will be brought before the executive board for disciplinary action.
Grounds for discipline include, but are not limited to:
1. Failure to comply with the associations’ constitution, by-laws, and/or rules and policies.
2. Any action relative to the proper conduct of an official.
3. Failure to meet game assignments.
4. Failure to meet the standards for appropriate uniform.
5. Habitually arriving late for assignments.
6. Failure to attend meetings.
7. Conduct unbecoming an official.
8. Failure to meet financial obligations within time allotted.
The executive board may place officials on probation for any one of these violations. Probation means that the official may not be assigned to their choice of games and will be one of the last officials to be assigned games. There will be no post season game assignments (i.e., state tournament). During probation, the official is expected to meet all chapter obligations. An official will be on probation for one year only. The following year the official will be considered for reinstatement or dismissal by the Executive Committee.
