BYLAWS
VOLLEY BORÉAL MANDATE
Volley Boréal is an inclusive community organization with the mission of promoting the practice and development of volleyball among members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community. The organization aims to bring people together, foster friendships, strengthen healthy lifestyles, inspire pride, and encourage community participation.
We value respect, diversity, belonging, participation, and health. These values guide all our activities, whether they are sports-related, social, or cultural. Volley Boréal is committed to providing an environment where everyone is welcomed without judgment, in a spirit of camaraderie, safety, fun, and respect.
In all its divisions—recreational, semi-competitive, and competitive—as well as in its social events and tournaments, Volley Boréal expects its members to adhere to its rules, respect its policies, and demonstrate exemplary behavior. Any form of violence, harassment (including sexual harassment), discrimination, or unsportsmanlike conduct goes against our code of ethics and will be addressed in accordance with our Bylaws.
The Board of Directors of Volley Boréal ensures a safe and inclusive environment for all members. It holds the mandate to adopt the necessary policies for the proper functioning of the organization, in accordance with the bylaws and the values that unite us.
1. SPORTSMANSHIP POLICY
At Volley Boréal, sportsmanship is the cornerstone of regular league play in competitive, semi-competitive, and recreational divisions, as well as in tournaments organized by the league. This entails behaving respectfully and courteously with a spirit of fair play toward teammates, opposing team members, referees, and spectators. The general guidelines for appropriate behavior include the following policies:
i) AT ALL VOLLEY BORÉAL EVENTS:
a. Volley Boréal expects its participants (including their guests and spectators) and officials conducting volleyball competitions to act respectfully and sportingly.
b. Volley Boréal is proud to be an open and safe environment for all its members. The conduct of members and participants at all Volley Boréal events should create a positive image of the community represented and served by Volley Boréal. The use of inappropriate language or comments emphasizing age, race, gender, religion, origin, sexual orientation, or other personal characteristics unrelated to volleyball is prohibited.
c. Unsportsmanlike behaviors, including rude comments and verbal gestures, are prohibited by this policy and by Volley Boréal’s rules of play.
d. Encouragement of teams should be done positively, without belittling or making inappropriate comments about the opposing team or its members.
e. There is no room in Volley Boréal for taunting, embarrassing, or humiliating an opponent or a match official.
f. Members must show respect when dealing with contentious issues at Volley Boréal events. Members should not speak rudely or condescendingly to another participant or league official. As will be discussed further, under no circumstances should anyone threaten another person in any way.
g. During a volleyball match, a team captain or match referee should allow an angry person time to cool down before play resumes.
h. In accordance with Volley Boréal’s rules of play, only team captains should address a referee during a match or tournaments sanctioned by Volley Boréal. Whenever someone speaks to a referee, it should be done calmly, politely, and professionally. Under no circumstances may anyone make rude, obscene, or threatening remarks or gestures toward a referee.
i. Referees and other Volley Boréal officials must treat all Volley Boréal members and participants with respect, even if the person is acting inappropriately or the official disagrees with the participant.
j. Guests and spectators at Volley Boréal events, by their presence at these events, are required to adhere to this policy. Members are also responsible for the appropriate conduct of their guests and spectators.
ii) WHILE ALL VOLLEY BORÉAL MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO BEHAVE SPORTSMANLIKE, THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE LEADERS OF VOLLEY BORÉAL AND SHOULD ALSO BE ROLE MODELS FOR SPORTSMANSHIP:
a. Members of the Board of Directors and leadership groups of Volley Boréal
b. Team captains
c. Team coaches
d. Match referees
e. Tournament directors
f. Any other leadership roles within Volley Boréal (coordinators, managers, etc.)
g. Long-standing participants in Volley Boréal activities
iii) HANDLING CASES OF UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT:
a. The most common violations of this policy, such as disputes between Volley Boréal members or participants and officials during tournaments, should be handled informally to de-escalate the situation and cause minimal disruption to the event and/or volleyball.
b. During volleyball competitions officiated by official referees, disputes between a volleyball player and an official should be handled in accordance with FIVB rules of play, sanctions, and penalties.
c. In league competitions without an official referee, if a participant behaves inappropriately, the team captain, where applicable, should remove the participant from the situation if possible, discuss the situation with them, and assess their ability to continue playing appropriately.
d. If the participant cannot continue to participate appropriately at that time, they may be removed by the team captain or the responsible official for an appropriate period, not exceeding the remaining duration of the match.
e. Any Volley Boréal coordinator or league official must warn a participant if they have violated this policy and explain why their conduct is inappropriate. No follow-up action is required unless the violation is unusually severe, part of a repeated breach of the league’s policy, and/or constitutes illegal behavior.
f. In cases of repeated violations of this policy by an individual (including participants, guests, and spectators), if the violation is unusually severe and/or results from illegal conduct, the incident must be documented by a Volley Boréal coordinator and brought to the attention of the disciplinary committee overseeing cases of unsportsmanlike behavior. The coordinator will present the case to the disciplinary committee. The head of the disciplinary committee will attempt to resolve the issue informally, and if that is not possible, the president, in consultation with the relevant vice-presidents and the head of the disciplinary committee, will decide on the measures to be taken, which may range from a written warning letter, suspension of the member, or cancellation of membership.
2. NON-VIOLENCE POLICY
i) ANY FORM OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR OUTSIDE THE RULES OF VOLLEYBALL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY VOLLEY BORÉAL
a. Definition - Violence is defined as any verbal threat or abuse, any physical contact with another person with the intent to threaten or harm, initiating a fight, or encouraging another person to engage in physical violence. All matters related to incidents of violence, even when they occur during league-sanctioned volleyball activities, are never considered conflicts related to the application of volleyball rules. Consequently, the handling of such incidents is first discussed by the Volley Boréal disciplinary committee.
ii) INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE
Any member or official of Volley Boréal Volleyball, or any guest or spectator attending Volley Boréal events who is involved in acts of violence during any Volley Boréal event is immediately suspended from all activities. Any incident of violence should be immediately documented by a Volley Boréal official. However, at any time, Volley Boréal may still apply sanctions to an individual engaging in acts of violence, even if the incident is not immediately documented. Volley Boréal officials, who for the purposes of this section include Volley Boréal coordinators/managers, must document any complaint of behavior violating this policy during league events, even if the incident is brought to the attention of the Volley Boréal official afterward or even if the Volley Boréal official did not personally witness the incident.
a. Responsibilities of Volley Boréal: Officials documenting a violent incident must submit a report as detailed as possible to the head of the disciplinary committee and the vice president overseeing the program in which the incident occurred. The Volley Boréal official should also collect the names and contact information of all voluntary witnesses of the incident. If someone is injured as a result of the act of violence, the Volley Boréal official must contact 911 to request an ambulance and, if possible, the police.
b. Responsibilities of the Suspended Member or Official - When an individual involved in an act of violence is a member of Volley Boréal or a league official, the individual suspended from the league under this provision must contact the disciplinary officer within 48 hours of the act to discuss the incident. The member or official must attend all scheduled procedural meetings regarding the incident. The league must make reasonable efforts to accommodate the schedule of the suspended member or official when planning such meetings.
c. Responsibilities of the Disciplinary Committee Officer - Once informed of a documented incident of violence by a member or league official, the disciplinary committee officer must be available to be contacted by the individual(s) involved in the violent activity. Once the disciplinary committee officer has discussed the incident with the individual(s), they may, in consultation with the president and appropriate vice presidents, maintain the provisional suspension or lift the provisional suspension, subject to review of the incident by the Volley Boréal board of directors. In either case, the disciplinary committee officer must inform the Volley Boréal board, schedule a meeting to review the incident, and determine the sanction.
d. Violence Committed by a Player During Tournaments - In addition to this policy, acts of violence committed by a player during sanctioned volleyball activities must be handled as described in the FIVB Official Volleyball Rules, including guidelines for the referee’s assessment of cards. If a referee issues a red card during the tournament, the division representative must document the incident, and the player may be automatically suspended from play according to the procedures described in this policy. Furthermore, Volley Boréal may impose sanctions on the player in accordance with this policy even if no penalty or sanction was imposed on the player during the competition.
iii) OTHER INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE
If a Volley Boréal member or official commits acts of violence during a volleyball competition organized by other leagues or organizations, and this incident is brought to the attention of the Volley Boréal president or any of its representatives, board members, or executives, the Volley Boréal board of directors, with the president’s consent, may sanction this member as appropriate by referring the incident to the disciplinary committee.
3. POLICY ON HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL ABUSE
i) Unwelcome sexual advances, including the continuation of flirting after someone has asked you to stop or any other unwelcome verbal conduct of a sexual nature, constitute sexual harassment and are prohibited by this policy. Acts of sexual harassment must be procedurally resolved in the same manner as violations of sportsmanship outlined in Article III (3) of this policy.
ii) Unwanted sexual contact, the use of a position of power or authority within the Volley Boréal League to obtain sexual favors, as well as any unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature are considered sexual abuse. Sexual abuse is regarded as an act of violence within the meaning of Article II of this policy.
iii) This policy does not prohibit sexual behavior resulting from a mutually consensual relationship. A friendly hug, mutual flirting, and compliments on physical appearance between teammates and/or members of the Volley Boréal community are not considered harassment. Members who believe that an act, which would otherwise be prohibited, results from mutual consent bear the burden of demonstrating that they have obtained the other member’s consent or that such consent has been directly confirmed by that person.
iv) Referees, coaches (paid or volunteer), captains, and all other leaders and officials of Volley Boréal must always strive to embody these guidelines. Individuals in these roles must also be aware that, at times, they serve in such capacity as representatives of Volley Boréal. They must also recognize that their roles may create dynamics that grant them power over other members, and in these circumstances, this power can undermine what appears to be "mutual consent." Failure to comply with these guidelines may constitute grounds for termination of employment, contract termination, and/or removal from their position.
v) This section shall be interpreted in a manner that promotes Volley Boréal’s mission to create a community, including fostering healthy relationships among its members, including intimate relationships based on the concept of mutual consent between adults, as well as promoting a safe environment for all members.
3.1 Sanctions
Any sanctions imposed under this policy will be determined by the Volley Boréal disciplinary committee in accordance with the procedure described in the Volley Boréal Bylaws, Volley Boréal Rules of Play, and its policies:
a. Sanctions must reflect the severity of the conduct in question but will be assessed at the discretion of the disciplinary committee.
b. Sanctions may include a verbal and/or formal warning addressed to the member.
c. Sanctions may also include the suspension of the individual from any competition sanctioned by Volley Boréal and/or any Volley Boréal event for a duration up to lifetime (or indefinite) suspension. If a member is suspended, no additional sanctions may be imposed. The duration is determined at the discretion of the disciplinary committee.
d. When a sanction includes suspension from any part of the league or tournament play for which the individual has already paid dues or fees, no refund will be granted to the individual.
e. In exceptional circumstances, any intentional act of violence resulting in physical injury to another person will result in the indefinite suspension of that member from all Volley Boréal events and activities, including non-competitive events.
f. Any person who is given a lifetime suspension must have the opportunity to request that the League lift the suspension at least two years from the date of suspension, with the ability to renew the request at least once each subsequent competition year.
g. Any sanction decision may be appealed to the Board of Directors of Volley Boréal. In the case of an appeal, the Board of Directors of Volley Boréal, with the express approval of the President, has the authority to modify or overturn any sanction, and its decision will be final.
4. CAPTAINS' POLICY
In accordance with its mandate and sportsmanship policy, Volley Boréal has the following expectations for captains of recreational, semi-competitive, competitive teams, and team captains during tournaments:
a. Treat all Volley Boréal members with care and respect, both on and off the playing field
