Morton Girls Softball Association

Zero Tolerance Policy

The purpose of MGSA is to provide a safe, organized, and enjoyable environment that encourages all girls to participate in learning the fundamentals of softball. We further aim to promote parental involvement to achieve these aims.

Sportsmanship is essential to our organization. Sportsmanship includes a behavior and attitude from players, coaches, parents, and fans that demonstrate mutual respect.

In our continuing effort to encourage a positive support base for our athletes, MGSA has adopted a 'Zero Tolerance Policy'. The aim of this policy is not only the promotion of sportsmanship, but also to encourage positive and effective communication between our board, our athletes, and our parents and coaches.

Therefore, any person that demonstrates behavior that is detrimental to our program, can be removed from the program. Detrimental behavior includes verbal abuse of MGSA players, coaches, spectators, umpires, or Board Members. All participants in our program will be held to this standard.

While one of the primary goals of MGSA is the promotion of good sportsmanship, it should be understood that poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

This policy will be enforced by MGSA umpires and Board Members. All decisions pertaining to the removal of anyone from our program lies with the Board of Directors. Removal from the program will result in the forfeiture of player fees.
