Delaware
Shore Field Hockey, Inc. (DSFH) believes in equal opportunity for participants.
Delaware Shore Field Hockey's success depends on the effective utilization of
qualified people, regardless of their race, creed, color, age, gender, sexual
orientation, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected
by law. We will not discriminate on the basis of these characteristics in any
personnel or member action.
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENT
This policy reaffirms Delaware Shore Field Hockey, Inc.,'s commitment to deliver program services in organizational environments that are
harassment-free and respectful to its participants. Harassment is a concern for
everyone and we share a responsibility to maintain a harassment-free
environment. Coaches and athletes must create and maintain an organizational
environment where everyone is treated professionally and with dignity and
respect. Delaware Shore Field Hockey, Inc., strictly prohibits the use or abuse
of official authority or position to intimidate, coerce, or harass.
Harassment
is a form of discrimination, which may be based on a prohibited basis of race,
color, national origin, gender, religion, age (40 and over), mental or physical
disability, political affiliation or belief, sexual orientation, and marital or
family status. It is any objectionable verbal or physical conduct, comment, or
display, which demeans, disparages, aggravates, intimidates, or causes
humiliation or embarrassment to another person. It is conduct, which serves no
legitimate work purpose, and is a reasonably known unwelcome offense.
COMPLAINT
PROCEDURE

participant in a Delaware Shore program, who feels that they are a victim of harassment,

Board of Director meeting to investigate the incident within ten days of the
receipt of the written complaint. The Board will make a determination and a
