An issue was brought to my attention on Friday, June 1 concerning the conduct of several coaches in the Pee Wee division. Immediately upon hearing this I advised several coaches that this conduct was unacceptable and that I will speak to the two coaches involved and settle this.
Gloucester City Little League has adopted a \”Zero Tolerance Policy\” in conjunction with the Gloucester City \”Zero Tolerance Policy\” and at NO TIME will this behavior be tolerated. This season we have suspended several coaches, we have had a manager resign from his team, we currently have several parents banned from both the Bill Flynn Complex and Earl Moore Field and recently the Gloucester City Police arrested a couple parents for their behavior and are now facing a court hearing.
We are making every attempt to keep the playing area in which these children play as pleasant, fun and safe as possible. Unfortunately when you have over 75 volunteers, over 300 children and over 600 parents and guest attending games each week incidents will happen.
That still is no excuse for unfit behavior. We will continue to be as pro-active as possible. When a parent signs a child up to play they are required to sign a \”Zero Tolerance Policy Form\”, also the fields are decorated with \”Zero Tolerance\” signs and the penalties.
The Gloucester City Little League understands its responsibilities and when a parent signs up their child they should feel comfortable with their decision and they should expect a certain degree of safety and respect.
Again the Gloucester City Little League is very aware of the environment and will continue to make every attempt to assure each and every player, parent or guest the most pleasant atmosphere possible within our confines.
