CODE OF CONDUCT ADDENDUM

In addition to the Code of Conduct for players, coaches, parents and umpires, as already published on both the web site and player registration forms, the following regulations regarding potentially defamatory communications shall take effect immediately:

No player, coach, parent or umpire who participates, either directly or indirectly, in the programs or activities of the Westwood Baseball Association (“WBA”) shall communicate and/or publish in any manner or forum, any words, comments, criticisms or other language directed to or about any other player, coach, parent or umpire of the Association which might potentially be viewed as defamatory. This regulation specifically includes communications of all types whatsoever, including spoken, written and/or electronic, and is designed to prevent potential claims for slander, libel and defamation against the WBA, its officers, directors, coaches and other volunteers. The prohibition against inappropriate electronic communications specifically includes e-mail, text messages, postings on social networking web sites and any other form of electronic communication not specifically referenced herein.

Failure to adhere to these rules may result in immediate suspension of the child and/or the parent from playing and/or attending practices and games, at the discretion of the association’s governing body.
