  9. GDYBL CORI/SORI Overview • Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and Sex Offender Record Information (SORI) checking is required for all volunteer organizations serving youth under age 18 by Massachusetts state law. • The law recognizes the conflict between an individual’s right to privacy and the need to protect children. • Every GDYBL adult volunteer, regardless of role, will be asked to authorize their criminal record to be sent to the GDYBL CORI Administrator (Steve Liljigren).

  10. GDYBL CORI Overview • The GDYBL Board of Directors has established a list of disqualifying offenses which would indicate that a person is not suitable to serve as a volunteer in the league. • The CORI data will be seen only by the CORI Administrator who will be committed to total secrecy, under threat of severe legal penalty. • Those having a disqualifying offense on their record who have not already stepped aside will be discretely asked to resign from any role in the league.

  11. Codes of Conduct • All coaches are required to read, sign, and abide by the Coaches Code of Conduct. • All parents and players are required to read, sign, and abide by the Player / Parent Code of Conduct. Coaches are to collect these from their players before the 1st game.

  12. Coaches Code of Conduct(Key Points) In addition to the above, the following specific behaviors are unacceptable and any disciplinary action will be in the hands of the GDYBL Board of Directors: 1) Vehemently arguing with or berating officials, opposing coaches, parents, or players. 2) Open criticism of officials, opposing coaches, parents or players. 3) Using offensive or profane language or throwing balls, clipboards, or anything else. 4) Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while at any GDYBL practice, game or athletic event.
