A. Mission Statement
It is the South Bay Sports &
Special Events Program`s mission to provide a wide range of individual and team
sports and special events at a variety of competitive and
recreational levels to South Bay Sports members of the surrounding community. South Bay Sports is a
crucial element of the experience in that it promotes and reinforces
teamwork and personal accomplishment, mutual respect and integrity, competition and recreation,
as well as skill and exercise. South Bay Sports
provides valuable leadership and both personal and professional growth opportunities
to the community members who, with the support of South Bay Sports, bring together
our community.
B. Goal Statement This South Bay Sports Handbook
is
designed to provide Team Managers and South Bay Sports participants with specific guidelines
and information that will assist them in participating fairly within the South Bay
Sports Program. Participants are encouraged to have fun and enjoy the experience.

participants, and South Bay Sports Staff are for simplification

E. Health Insurance
The South Bay Sports Program does not
provide South Bay Sports participants with health insurance. We strongly recommend
personal health insurance for all South Bay Sports participants.
Each individual participating in South Bay Sports activities assumes the responsibility for
his own health insurance needs. In the event of an injury, the South
Bay Sports Program will not cover payment for treatment.
The South Bay Sports Staff takes precautions to make South Bay Sports activities
as safe as possible for participants. These precautions include rule modifications,
Officials` training, inspection of playing sites, etc. In order to
ensure safety, the South Bay Sports Office reserves the right to restrict
individuals from participating with improper footwear or personal property such
as jewelry, glasses, hats or any other item deemed dangerous.
