GUIDE BOOK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
USA Volleyball and the Editors of the 2014-2015 Official
Guide would like to express their appreciation to the late
Joe Sharpless for his many years of assistance, editing and
guidance in preparation of materials for publication. His
dedication to accuracy of this Guidebook will be very difficult to replace. In addition, USA Volleyball would like to
thank Margie Mara, June Sander, Ty Pring, Kerry
Klostermann, Carla Hall and Patty Fadum. We would also
like to recognize publicly Guide editors of previous years
who unselfishly gave hundreds of hours annually as volunteers. Their efforts may never be fully appreciated by most,
but they certainly are by us.
The organization was originally incorporated with the name
“United States Volleyball Association” in 1928. This corporate name was used exclusively until 1997, when the
USVBA began doing business as (DBA) USA Volleyball, but
maintaining the USVBA corporate name. The two names
were used interchangeably for the next nine years. The
Articles of Incorporation dated Dec. 18, 2006, legally
changed the corporate name to “USA Volleyball.” All references to USA Volleyball herein also include the organization
formerly referred to, and legally known as, the United States
Volleyball Association (USVBA).

THIS WE BELIEVE
USA Volleyball is the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of volleyball in the United States and is recognized by the Federation International de
Volleyball (FIVB) and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). The
vision of USAV is to be acknowledged as the world leader in volleyball. In
order to accomplish this mission, the following goals are to be achieved:
• Competitive Success: To win gold medals in every international competition;
• Sport Growth: To achieve full participation in volleyball at all levels and
in all geographical areas;
• Sport Enhancement: To improve support services necessary for the
quality and conduct of programs to ensure recognition as the authority
and expert for volleyball;
• International Representation: To have influential positions on all international boards and commissions;
• Recognition: To receive consistent recognition of volleyball coaches
and athletes as top world performers;
• Administration: To develop and maintain a structure which will effectively and efficiently assist in achieving the vision and mission of the
Corporation; and
• Finances: To develop, implement and maintain a financial plan to
achieve the vision and mission of the Corporation.
USAV is committed to and works toward opportunity for all to participate. It
is an advocate for all Americans—endeavoring to assure universal access
to opportunities at all levels of the game.
Thus USAV will diligently:
• Work toward provision of ample opportunity, quality opportunity and
equality of access for every resident of this diverse nation.
• Act to expand opportunity for under-represented groups and aggressively recruit participation from those groups.
• Make its daily decisions concerning resources, players, coaches, officials, administrators and employees on the basis of individual merit
and excellence of performance regardless of age, class, ancestry,
color, national origin, race, religious creed, disability or handicap, gender or sexual orientation.
• Exercise its corporate will to encourage constituent organizations to
act in accordance with the foregoing principles.
USA Volleyball has as one of its policies and beliefs that all governance
units of the Corporation should reflect the diversity of the population. This
principle shall be applied when selecting nominees for election and
appointment to all structures and substructures.
USA Volleyball believes that volleyball has so many positive things to offer
those who participate. First, and most importantly, whether one is a gifted
athlete or a recreational player, volleyball is FUN! It is a lifetime sport
enjoyed by players from 8 to 80. Participation in volleyball is not only good
exercise, but also involves team cooperation and spirit. We are committed
to introducing our sport to all of America.

2014 USA Volleyball Regional Assembly
The USA Volleyball Foundation
Mission Statement: The mission of the USA Volleyball
Foundation is to secure, protect and grow substantial assets that will
support the programs of USA Volleyball and the USAV Regional
Volleyball Associations.
Goals: The development goals of the USA Volleyball Foundation
are distinct and clear. The long-term goal is to build an endowment
for the sport of $10,000,000. Toward this end, the Foundation
endeavors to obtain (i) direct monetary donations for specific programs, events, purposes and teams, and (ii) gifts of financial assets
(stock, life insurance, real property, etc.) to add to the permanent
funds under its control. The USA Volleyball Foundation is devoted to
supporting and enhancing the purposes, programs, and beneficiaries
of USA Volleyball and the USAV Regional Volleyball Associations
through long-term investment and development.
Purpose: The USAV Foundation is a completely separate not-forprofit corporate entity established as a “support organization” under
the Internal Revenue Code and under the Foundation’s controlling
documents. The USA Volleyball Foundation must by law support the
activities, missions, purposes, and/or beneficiaries of the supported
organizations listed in the controlling documents – i.e., USA Volleyball
and the USAV Regional Volleyball Associations.
The USA Volleyball Foundation has the responsibility for:
A. Asset Protection
B. Long-Term Investment
C. Development Opportunities
D. Ensuring Compliance with USA Volleyball Policies and
Procedures
Donations to the USA Volleyball Foundation are tax-deductible to
the extent allowed by law. For information on donor and planned
giving opportunities, please contact Tim McCune, Director of
Development (719-228-6800), or email [email protected]. You
may also get more information or make contributions through our

NATIONAL TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
With the inauguration of national team training centers in the mid1970s and with the addition of beach volleyball to the Olympic
Program at the 1996 Atlanta Games, USA Volleyball has been
fortunate to have so many fine athletes and coaches represent
us. The accomplishments listed below are part of their legacy–a
testament to the success of those individuals and the support
they received from staff, lay volunteers and the Board of
Directors.

The athlete may submit the claim to the AAA simultaneously with the athlete’s
informing the CEO of the claim and the athlete does not have to wait for the
CEO’s investigation, but may pursue the claim immediately before the AAA.
118
The AAA, however (upon request by the athlete in question), is authorized,
upon forty-eight (48) hours' notice to the parties concerned, and to the
Corporation, to hear and decide the matter under such procedures as the AAA
deems appropriate, if the AAA determines that it is necessary to expedite such
arbitration to ensure a decision in time for the relevant competition.
10.03 In any arbitration brought pursuant to this Article involving selection of an
athlete to participate in a protected competition, the athlete submitting the controversy to the AAA must include with the initial submission a list of all persons
the athlete believes may be adversely affected by the arbitration. The
Corporation must then promptly submit to the AAA a list of the persons it
believes may be adversely affected by the arbitration, along with the relevant
contact information for the persons identified by the Corporation and by the athlete. The arbitrator then shall promptly determine which additional persons
must receive notice of the arbitration. The athlete then shall be responsible for
providing appropriate notice to these persons. Any person so notified then shall
have the option to participate in the arbitration as a party. However, all persons
so notified shall be bound by the results of the arbitration regardless of their
decision to participate.
10.04 No claim that has previously been adjudicated by the independent antidoping organization designated by the USOC to conduct drug testing may be
brought with the AAA under this Article.
10.05 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the final decision of a
referee during a competition regarding a field of play decision (a matter set forth
in the rules of the competition to be within the discretion of the referee) shall not
be reviewable by an arbitrator or the subject of a demand for arbitration unless
the decision is (i) outside the referee’s authority or (ii) the product of fraud, corruption, partiality or other misconduct of the referee. For purposes of this
Article, the term “referee” shall include any individual with discretion to make
field of play decisions.

coach, trainer, manager, administrator, or other official seeking to participate in
the conduct of any of the international amateur athletic competitions.

the obligation or responsibilities of the Corporation to warrant action by the
Corporation in support of the athlete's claim.
B. Provide the Chair of the Board and the USOC Athlete Ombudsman
with a copy of the complaint; and
C. Investigate the allegations of the complaint.

the CEO is specifically authorized, in circumstances as he/she may deem
appropriate, to authorize legal action by the Corporation in support of the athlete. The CEO’s decision whether or not to authorize or finance legal action in
support of the athlete's claim shall not be construed as an opinion of the
Corporation with respect to the merits of the athlete's claim.
10.10 With respect to complaints filed pursuant to Article 10.02 and 10.06, the CEO,
within forty-eight (48) hours after the filing of the complaint, shall consult with the
Corporation’s legal counsel and determine whether the situation appears to be of sufficient seriousness and relevance to the obligation or responsibilities of the Corporation to warrant action by the Corporation in support of the athlete's claim. If the
CEO determines that action by the Corporation appears to be warranted, the matter
shall be referred to the Board within ninety-six (96) hours of the filing of the complaint,
which shall decide the nature and extent of the action to be taken. In any event, the
filing of all complaints under Article 10.02 and 10.06 shall be reported by the CEO to
the Board. The report shall contain a brief statement of facts, the status of the investigation (if still ongoing), and any recommendations or final disposition of the matter.

review of ethics or eligibility questions may be heard by telephone or other
direct communication and does not necessarily imply a face-to-face meeting.
Decisions of Adjudicating Authorities shall be formalized in writing and forwarded to all affected parties by registered mail or other hard-copy receipted manner

13.04 Corporation Events - Ethics and Eligibility Adjudicating
Authorities. The Corporation shall appoint or recognize the following Ethics
and Eligibility Adjudicating Authorities.
A. Regional Volleyball Associations of USA Volleyball. Each RVA shall
provide Corporation-approved due process procedures to address
alleged violations of ethics and eligibility policies or procedures relating
to its activities or events. Each RVA has the authority to penalize its
members for violations of its policies or procedures. After exhaustion
of due process within an RVA, further appeal may be made to the
Ethics and Eligibility Committee but only for a determination as to
whether the appealing party received adequate due process from the
RVA.
B. The RVA Assembly may establish intermediate levels of due process
between a final RVA decision and an appeal to the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee.
C. Corporation Event Arbitrators. The Chair of the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee, in consultation with the CEO, or designee, shall appoint
Event Arbitrators to adjudicate ethics and eligibility issues for individuals or teams registered to participate at Corporation Events. Event
Arbitrators shall have authority and responsibilities as follows:
1. Have authority to address issues of ethics and eligibility for a
Corporation Event beginning with the first to occur of
(i) forty-eight (48) hours before the first match of the Event or
(ii) the arrival in the event city of the first non-resident individual or
team participating in the Event.
The authority of the Event Arbitrator shall cease upon the first to
occur of
(i) twelve hours after the final match of the Event or
(ii) final departure of the Event Arbitrator from the host city.

Event. Event Arbitrators may recommend a sanction which would
continue beyond the term of the Event.
3. Convey decisions immediately to affected parties with notice that
such decisions may be appealed to the Event Ethics and Eligibility
Appeals Committee appointed for the Event. Any recommendation
124
125
SECTION 4
for a sanction beyond the term of the Event shall be communicated
to the potentially affected parties and to the Event Ethics and
Eligibility Appeals Committee (regardless of whether there is an
appeal) for prompt hearing (with notice to the affected parties) to
determine what action, if any, to be taken under Article 13.04 D
below.
4. The Event Arbitrator shall file with the Chair, Ethics and Eligibility
Committee and with the Corporation Events Department a written
report of all decisions, actions taken, and notable incidents
addressed by him or her or by the Event Ethics and Eligibility
Appeals Committee. The Corporation Events Department shall forward separate incident reports to the relevant RVAs, Affiliated
Volleyball Organizations, or Corporation substructures for their
records and any further action necessary or appropriate under
their policies and procedures.
5. On rare occasions, there will be an allegation of a violation of
Corporation ethics and eligibility policies at a Corporation event and
the Event Arbitrator will have been unable to investigate fully or
unable to issue a recommendation in time for appeal to the Event
Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee. In such circumstances,
the Chair of the Ethics and Eligibility Committee shall have discretion to assign for prompt post-event investigation and recommendation an Arbitrator who had been present at the event, a different
Arbitrator (whether an Event, Commission, Division, or Member
Organization Arbitrator), or another objective individual, excluding
Corporation staff, familiar with Corporation due process and policies
to act as Arbitrator.
a. If the assigned Arbitrator recommends a sanction (necessarily
post-event), the recommendation automatically shall be forwarded to an Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee deemed
relevant and practical by the Chair of the Ethics and Eligibility
Appeals Committee (whether a re-assembled Event Ethics and
Eligibility Appeals Committee or similar committee of a Commission, Division, or Member Organization) to serve in the
same capacity as an Event Ethics and Eligibility Committee
under Article 13.04 D hereof. If no such committee exists or
can be assembled in timely fashion, the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee shall serve as the Ethics and Eligibility Appeals
Committee.
b. Any decision by the Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee to
impose a post-event sanction shall be forwarded to the Ethics and
Eligibility Committee under Article 13.04 E 1 hereof. If the Ethics
and Eligibility Committee is the Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee for the matter, the committee decision may be appealed to
the Board, which appeal shall be limited to a determination of
whether the appealing party received due process.
D. Event Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committees. Ethics and Eligibility
Appeals Committees shall consist of at least three (3) objective members, one (1) meeting the Corporation definition of a domestic athlete
SECTION 4
and all twenty-one (21) years of age or older. Each Event Ethics and
Eligibility Appeals Committee shall act on appeals of decisions by
Event Arbitrators during the conduct of an Event, and, based on the
record and any additional submissions, may confirm, extend, reduce or
reject the decision or recommendation of the Event Arbitrator. Any
decision by the Event Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee to recommend a sanction which would extend beyond an Event shall be
communicated immediately to the Chair, Ethics and Eligibility
Committee for prompt consideration (with notice to the affected parties)
to determine what action, if any, to be taken.
E. Ethics and Eligibility Committee. In addition to those responsibilities
outlined in Article 7.02 B 2 of these Bylaws, the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee shall have the following responsibilities:
1. Decide whether to confirm, extend, reduce or reject a sanction
recommended by an Adjudicating Authority for a period beyond the
sanctioning authority of the Adjudicating Authority. Such decision
shall be based solely on the written record, any additional submissions of the potentially affected parties and the opportunity for due
process at the lower level(s).
2. Determine whether due process was provided to the affected
parties with respect to appeals from sanctions imposed by lower
Adjudicating Authorities. Note: If the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee determines prior due process was insufficient, it shall
remand the matter with explanation to the appropriate Adjudicating
Authority for reconsideration. Except for
(i) a sanction of a RVA pertaining to activities or privileges of that
RVA or
(ii) a matter in which there is a threat of physical or significant
financial harm, as determined by the Ethics and Eligibility
Committee, a finding of insufficient due process shall render a
sanction ineffective until it has been properly reconsidered upon
remand.
3. Consider all other appeals of sanctions not covered above with
the exception of appeals by full-time employees of the Corporation
or other due process provided in these Bylaws. Unless there is an
incident or alleged violation of Corporation policies or procedures
for which the Ethics and Eligibility Committee becomes the initial
level of review, any decision of the Committee shall be final and
based only on the written record, any additional submissions of the
potentially affected parties and the opportunity for due process provided by the prior Adjudicating Authorities.
4. Address all other Corporation matters of ethics or eligibility not
otherwise covered in these Bylaws.
For matters in which the Ethics and Eligibility Committee is the initial level of review, decisions of the Committee may be appealed to
the Board, which appeal shall be limited to a determination of
whether the appealing party received due process.
126
13.05 Miscellaneous Provisions

and paid by the Corporation pursuant to a determination by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board, consisting of members of the Board who have not incurred
expenses in connection with the litigation for which indemnification is sought, that
such person seeking indemnification has met the standards of conduct set forth in
this Article. If such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, such determination shall be made either:
A. By the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel
that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article has been met; or
B. By a majority vote of the members of the Board upon a finding that the
person seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article.
SECTION 4
19.03 Any expenses incurred by such person in connection with the defense of

amount if it is determined under Article 19.02 hereof that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Article.
19.04 The right of indemnification under this Article shall be in addition to, and not
exclusive of, all other rights to which such person may be entitled.
19.05 The Board may, at its discretion, authorize the purchase of insurance on behalf
of any persons indemnifiable under this Article. Such insurance may include provisions for indemnification of such persons for expenses of a kind not subject to indemnification under this Article. Any repeal or modification of this Article XIX shall be

4.04 Redistricting.
A. Preamble: USA Volleyball continues to experience a steady growth of
its membership and interest in volleyball. It also continues to experience the desire by applicant members toward the formation of new or
Sub-RVAs within the existing geographic configuration forming the
present corporation. In facilitating the growth of volleyball, USA Volleyball
adopts the following guidelines concerning redistricting of both the geographic and membership of the volleyball community.
B. USA Volleyball further recognizes that each existing Regional
Volleyball Association (RVA) has been formed under the laws of the
state(s) in geographic areas. Redistricting may occur within a single
state, or may affect a number of states and their laws. Not all
140
141
SECTION 4
state laws are identical. Likewise, redistricting will have an impact on
Parent RVAs, how they are left to operate, their financial structure, and
on how bids are allocated for National Championships. In order to
assist the existing RVAs and members toward redistricting in a harmonious manner, the following process and procedure has been approved. Each applicant and RVA should consult counsel of their choice
and comply with their own state laws in effectuating a change of existing Regional Volleyball Associations (RVAs).
C. Definitions.
1. “Redistricting.” Refers to the process in which an RVA is formed,
whether by separating from an existing RVA within one state, or
separating from existing RVAs and forming one RVA within a geographical area.
2. “Parent RVA.” Refers to those geographic areas whose physical
boundaries are presently recognized by USA Volleyball.
3. “Sub-RVA.” Refers to that separated geographic area of an existing
Parent RVA within one state/RVA's geographic area, whose application has been approved by the RVA, Zone, and the RVA Assembly.
Sub-RVA status shall be computed beginning the date the application is approved by the RVA Assembly, for a minimum of one (1)
year or longer, when necessary, until all requirements of a RVA are
satisfied, as reflected in the RVA Administrative Manual. Once the
requirements are met and the trial period completed, the application
shall be submitted by the RVA Assembly to the USAV Board of
Directors for final approval as a new Regional Volleyball Association
(RVA).
4. “Provincial RVA.” Refers to that separated geographic area of more
than one existing Parent state/RVA whose application has been
submitted and approved by each impacted Parent RVA, zone, and
the RVA Assembly. Provincial RVA status shall be computed beginning the date the application is approved by the RVA Assembly, for
a minimum of one (1) year or longer, when necessary, until all
requirements of a RVA are satisfied, as reflected in the RVA Administrative Manual. Once the requirements are met, and the trial period completed, the application shall be submitted by the RVA
Assembly to the USAV Board of Directors for final approval as a
new Regional Volleyball Association (RVA).
5. “Associate RVA.” Refers to that separated geographic area of one
or more existing Parent RVA(s) whose application has been rejected by one or more of the existing Parent RVA(s), but whose application is approved by the RVA Zonal Committee after an independent review. An Associate RVA status shall be computed beginning
the date the application is approved by the RVA Assembly, for a
minimum of one (1) year or longer, when necessary, until all requirements of a RVA are satisfied as reflected by the RVA Administrative Manual. Once the requirements are met and the trial period
completed, the application shall be submitted by the RVA Assembly
to the USAV Board of Directors for final approval as a new RVA.
6. “RVA Zonal Committee.” Refers to the committee chaired by the
appropriate Zonal Chair and will be comprised of all Regional
SECTION 4
Commissioners within a designated USAV geographic Zone where
the redistricting proposal is originating. Presently these Zones are:
Atlantic (North and South), Border (East and West), Central (East
and West), and Pacific (North and South).

an application being submitted to the RVA Zonal Committee Chair,
with copies provided to the RVA Zonal Committee Chair, the RVA

written form to the RVA Zonal Committee Chair no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the RVA Assembly Annual Meeting. The summary
shall include, but not be limited to, any information the Committee

4. An applicant whose application for redistricting is rejected by the

to whether such redistricting application is favored by the majority
of the membership of the impacted RVA(s), the Committee may
recommend to the RVA Assembly that the application be submitted
as an Associate RVA. Such recommendation may be considered by
the RVA Assembly. Alternatively, the RVA Assembly may hold its

COACHES CODE OF
ETHICS AND CONDUCT
USA VOLLEYBALL
USA Volleyball has adopted, in its entirety, the United States Olympic Committee's
Coaching Ethics Code, and it is my responsibility to familiarize myself with that
document and conduct myself according to its tenets. Failure to understand any of
the principles of these documents does not constitute a defense for violation of its
rules. The principles outlined in this document are intended to be clarifications or
expansions on the USOC document, and are an emphasis on the values of USAV;
this document should not be considered to be the full scope of regulations and
Ethics Codes required of coaches. Further, where this document supersedes, contradicts or exceeds the scope of the USOC Coaching Ethics Code, I will adhere to
the principles and intent of the USAV Code. I recognize that this Code of Ethics
goes beyond the scope of the law, and should be treated with the same, or greater,
respect and gravity with which I treat the laws and standards of my community.
PRINCIPLE I - PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES
I pledge to maintain practices that protect the public and advance my profession; I
will:
A. Maintain responsible association with USA Volleyball, its national programs and
member organizations.
B. Continue personal and professional growth, remaining current on new developments in the field through continuing education.
C. Use my knowledge and professional association(s) for the benefit of the people
I serve.
D. Always strive to be truthful and put colleagues or other professionals in a positive light.
E. Avoid discrimination in all of its forms.
PRINCIPLE II - COACH/ATHLETE RELATIONSHIPS
A. Conduct all my relationships from a perspective of dignity and sound educational and scientific foundation to:
1. Direct comments or criticism relative to the performance, not the athlete.
2. Ensure that all activities are suitable for the age, experience and ability of the athletes.
3. Educate athletes as to their responsibilities in contributing to a safe
environment, and to do my best to ensure that all facilities and equipment meet safety standards and that they are age/ability appropriate.
4. Consider the athlete's future health and well being as foremost when
making decisions regarding an injured athlete's ability to continue competing or training, and seek professional medical opinions to serve as a
basis for my decisions.
5. Be aware of academic responsibilities; conduct practices and match
schedules in a manner so as not to unduly interfere with academic
155
SECTION 4
I pledge to maintain relationships with athletes on a professional basis; I will:
success. Never encourage, condone, or require any behavior that
threatens an athlete's high school, USA Volleyball, collegiate eligibility
or amateur status.
6. Comply with regulations and ethical guidelines for recruiting practices
as defined by governing sport organizations.
7. Strive to develop individual and team respect for the ability of opponents.
8. Prioritize being present at all practices and competitions and, when
unable to, assure knowledgeable and safe supervision.
B. Work with and strive to develop every member of the team.
C. Show sensitive regard for the moral, social, religious and sexual orientations of
others and communities. I will not impose my beliefs on others.
D. Recognize the trust placed in, and the unique power of, the coach and athlete
relationship. I will not exploit the dependency of athletes and will avoid dual relationships (e.g., business or close personal relationships) which could impair my
professional judgment, compromise the integrity of the process and/or take advantage of the relationship for my own gain.
E. While serving in a professional capacity or as a role model, avoid any drug, tobacco or alcohol use while in the presence of athletes. I will discourage by way of education any consumption of these substances by minors and will remain at all times within
the limits of the law with regard to legal substances. I will avoid illegal ones entirely.
F. Not engage in physical, verbal or emotional harassment, abusive words or
actions, or exploitative coercion of current or former athletes. I will report any suspected cases of abuse to the appropriate authorities immediately.
G. Recognize that all forms of sexual abuse, assault or harassment with athletes
are illegal and unethical, even when an athlete invites or consents to such behavior
or involvement. Sexual abuse and harassment is defined as, but not limited to,
repeated comments, gestures or physical contacts of a sexual nature. I will report
all suspected cases of sexual assault or abuse to law enforcement as required by
law.
SECTION 4
PRINCIPLE III - CONFIDENTIALITY
I will respect the integrity and protect the welfare of all persons with whom I am
working and pledge to safeguard information about them that has been learned
or obtained during the coaching relationship, including performance reviews,
statistics and all personal confidences. Further, I will obtain permission from athletes before sharing videotape recordings or other data of them with anyone
excepting the recognized coaching staff; when current or former athletes are
referred to in a publication, while teaching or in a public presentation that is not
laudatory, their identity will be thoroughly disguised. The only exception to this
will be that I will not use these standards of confidentiality to avoid intervention
when it is necessary (e.g., when there is evidence of physical or psychological
abuse of minors, or legal issues).
156
PRINCIPLE IV - STAFF/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS
All relationships with employees and staff will be maintained on a professional and
confidential basis, and I will avoid exploiting their trust and dependency.
PRINCIPLE V - PROCESS RELATING TO VIOLATION OF CODE
I acknowledge that this Ethics Code is administered under the authority of USA
Volleyball or other responsible organization and that a violation of this Code subjects me to the processes of USA Volleyball or other such organization required to
be provided in the event of disciplinary action.
SECTION 4
157
The following was released in 1995 at the USOC Coaching Symposium. It has
been adopted by the USOC for all USOC directly supported functions
(Olympics, World University Games, Pan American Games, etc.) and will need
to be signed by all coaches participating in events or training on-site at any of
the U.S. Olympic Training Centers, including USAV events. This has become
the defacto national coaching ethics standard. For more information/feedback,
contact USOC Coaching, One Olympic Plaza, Colorado Springs, CO 80909.

COACHES ETHICS CODE
INTRODUCTION
This Ethics Code is intended to provide standards of professional conduct that
can be applied by the USOC and its member organizations that choose to adopt
them. Whether or not a coach has violated the Ethics Code does not by itself
determine whether he or she is legally liable in a court action, whether a contract is enforceable or whether other legal consequences occur. These results
are based on legal rather than ethical rules. However, compliance with or violation of the Ethics Code may be admissible as evidence in some legal proceedings, depending on the circumstances.
This Code is intended to provide both the general principles and the decision
rules to cover most situations encountered by coaches. It has, as its primary
goal, the welfare and protection of the individuals and groups with whom coaches work. This Code also provides a common set of values upon which coaches
build their professional work. It is the individual responsibility of each coach to
aspire to the highest possible standards of conduct. Coaches respect and protect human and civil rights and do not knowingly participate in or condone unfair
discriminatory practices.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
PRINCIPLE A: COMPETENCE
Coaches strive to maintain high standards of excellence in their work. They
recognize the boundaries of their particular competencies and the limitations of
their expertise. They provide only those services and use only those techniques
for which they are qualified by education, training or experience. In those areas
in which recognized professional standards do not yet exist, coaches exercise
careful judgment and take appropriate precautions to protect the welfare of
those with whom they work. They maintain knowledge of relevant scientific and
professional information related to the services they render and they recognize
the need for ongoing education. Coaches make appropriate use of scientific,
professional, technical and administrative resources.
SECTION 4
PRINCIPLE B: INTEGRITY
Coaches seek to promote integrity in the practice of coaching. Coaches are honest, fair,
and respectful of others. In describing or reporting their qualifications, services, products,
or fees, they do not make statements that are false, misleading or deceptive. Coaches
strive to be aware of their own belief systems, values, needs and limitations and the
effect of these on their work. To the extent feasible, they attempt to clarify for relevant
parties the roles they are performing and to function appropriately in accordance with
those roles. Coaches avoid improper and potentially harmful dual relationships.
PRINCIPLE C: PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Coaches uphold professional standards of conduct, clarify their professional
roles and obligations, accept appropriate responsibility for their behavior and
adapt their methods to the needs of different athletes. Coaches consult with,
refer to or cooperate with other professionals and institutions to the extent needed to serve the best interest of their athletes or other recipients of their services.
Coaches’ moral standards and conduct are personal matters to the same
degree as is true for any other person, except when coaches’ conduct may
160
compromise their professional responsibilities or reduce the public’s trust in the
coaching profession and coaches. Coaches are concerned about the ethical
compliance of their colleagues’ professional conduct. When appropriate, they
consult with colleagues in order to prevent or avoid unethical conduct.
PRINCIPLE D: RESPECT FOR PARTICIPANTS* AND DIGNITY
Coaches respect the fundamental rights, dignity and worth of all participants.
Coaches are aware of cultural, individual and role differences, including those
due to age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
disability, language and socioeconomic status. Coaches try to eliminate the
effect on their work of biases based on those factors and they do not knowingly
participate in or condone unfair discriminatory practices.
* = Participants: Those taking part in sport (athletes and their family members,
coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators and spectators).
PRINCIPLE E: CONCERN FOR OTHERS’ WELFARE
Coaches seek to contribute to the welfare of those with whom they interact professionally. In their professional actions, coaches consider the welfare and
rights of their athletes and other participants. When conflicts occur among
coaches’ obligations or concerns, they attempt to resolve these conflicts and to
perform their roles in a responsible fashion that avoids or minimizes harm.
Coaches are sensitive to differences in power between themselves and others and
they do not exploit or mislead other people during or after professional relationships.
PRINCIPLE F: RESPONSIBLE COACHING
Coaches are aware of their professional responsibilities to the community and
the society in which they work and live. They apply and make public their
knowledge of sport in order to contribute to human welfare. Coaches try to
avoid misuse of their work. Coaches comply with the law and encourage the
development of law and policies that serve the interest of sport. They are
encouraged to contribute a portion of their professional time for little or no personal advantage.
ETHICAL STANDARDS
1.01
GENERAL STANDARDS
These General Standards are applicable to the professional activities
of all coaches.
APPLICABILITY OF THE ETHICS CODE
While many aspects of personal behavior and private activities seem far
removed from official duties of coaching, all coaches should be sensitive to their
position as role models for their athletes. Private activities perceived as
immoral or illegal can influence the coaching environment and coaches are
encouraged to observe the standards of this Ethics Code consistently.
161
SECTION 4
1.0
1.02
BOUNDARIES OF COMPETENCE
(a) Coaches provide services only within the boundaries of their competence,
based on their education, training, supervised experience or appropriate professional experience.
(b) Coaches provide services involving new techniques only after first undertaking appropriate study, training, supervision and/or consultation from persons
who are competent in those areas or techniques.
(c) In those emerging areas in which generally recognized standards for
preparatory training do not yet exist, coaches nevertheless take reasonable
steps to ensure the competence of their work and to protect athletes and other
participants from harm.

1.07
NONDISCRIMINATION
1.08
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Coaches maintain a reasonable level of awareness of current scientific and professional information in their fields of activity and undertake ongoing efforts to
maintain competence in the skills they use.
Coaches rely on scientifically and professionally derived knowledge when making professional judgments or when engaging in professional endeavors.
When coaches provide services to an individual, a group or an organization,
they provide, using language that is reasonably understandable to the recipient
of those services, appropriate information beforehand about the nature of such
services and appropriate information later about results and conclusions.
SECTION 4
Coaches respect the rights of others to hold values, attitudes and opinions that
differ from their own.
Coaches do not engage in discrimination based on age, gender, race, ethnicity,
national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, socioeconomic
status or any basis proscribed by law.
(a) Coaches do not engage in sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is sexual
solicitation, physical advances or verbal or nonverbal conduct that is sexual in
nature and that either:
(1) is unwelcome, is offensive or creates a hostile environment, and
the coach knows or is told this;
(2) is sufficiently severe or intense to be abusive to a reasonable person in the context. Sexual harassment can consist of a single intense
162
or severe act or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts;
(b) Coaches accord sexual-harassment complainants and respondents dignity
and respect. Coaches do not participate in denying an athlete the right to participate based upon their having made, or their being the subject of, sexual
harassment charges.
1.09
OTHER HARASSMENT
1.10
PERSONAL PROBLEMS AND CONFLICTS
Coaches do not engage in behavior that is harassing or demeaning to persons
with whom they interact in their work based on factors such as those persons’
age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability,
language or socioeconomic status.
(a) Coaches recognize that their personal problems and conflicts may interfere
with their effectiveness. Accordingly, they refrain from undertaking an activity
when they know or should know that their personal problems are likely to lead
to harm to athletes or other participants to whom they may owe a professional
obligation.
(b) In addition, coaches have an obligation to be alert to signs of, and to obtain
assistance for, their personal problems at an early stage, in order to prevent significantly impaired performance.
(c) When coaches become aware of personal problems that may interfere with
their performing work-related duties adequately, they take appropriate measures, such as obtaining professional consultation or assistance, and determine
whether they should limit, suspend or terminate their work-related duties.
1.11
AVOIDING HARM
1.12
MISUSE OF COACHES’ INFLUENCE
1.13
MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIPS
Coaches take reasonable steps to avoid harming their athletes or other participants and to minimize harm where it is foreseeable and unavoidable.
(a) In many communities and situations, it may not be feasible or reasonable
for coaches to avoid social or other nonprofessional contacts with athletes and
other participants. Coaches must always be sensitive to the potential harmful
effects of other contacts on their work and on those persons with whom they
deal. A coach refrains from entering into or promising another personal, professional, financial or other relationship with such persons, if it appears likely that
such a relationship reasonably might impair the coach’s objectivity or otherwise
interfere with the coach effectively performing his or her functions as a coach, or
might harm or exploit the other party.
163
SECTION 4
Because coaches’ professional judgments and actions may affect the lives of
others, they are alert to guard against personal, financial, social, organizational
or political factors that might lead to misuse of their influence.
(b) Likewise, whenever feasible, a coach refrains from taking on professional
obligations when preexisting relationships would create a risk of such harm.
(c) If a coach finds that, due to unforeseen factors, a potentially harmful multiple relationship has arisen, the coach attempts to resolve it with due regard for
the best interests of the affected person and maximal compliance with the
Ethics Code.
1.14
EXPLOITATIVE RELATIONSHIPS
1.15
CONSULTATIONS AND REFERRALS
1.16
DELEGATION TO AND SUPERVISION OF SUBORDINATES
(a) Coaches do not exploit athletes or other participants over whom they have
supervisory, evaluative or other authority.
(b) Coaches do not engage in sexual/romantic relationships with athletes or
other participants over whom the coach has evaluative, direct or indirect authority, because such relationships are likely to impair judgment or be exploitative.
When indicated and professionally appropriate, coaches cooperate with other
professionals in order to serve their athletes or other participants effectively and
appropriately.
(a) Coaches delegate to their employees, supervisors and assistants only those
responsibilities that such persons can reasonably be expected to perform competently, on the basis of their education, training or experience, either independently or with the level of supervision being provided.
(b) Coaches provide proper training and supervision to their employees or
supervisors and take reasonable steps to see that such persons perform services responsibly, competently and ethically.
1.17
FEES AND FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
SECTION 4
(a) As early as is feasible in a professional relationship, the coach and the athlete or other participants reach an agreement specifying the compensation and
the billing arrangements.
(b) Coaches do not exploit recipients of services or players with respect to
fees.
(c) Coaches’ fee practices are consistent with law.
(d) Coaches do not misrepresent their fees.
(e) If limitations to services can be anticipated because of limitations in financing, this is discussed with the athlete or other participant as appropriate.
164
2.0
2.01
ADVERTISING AND OTHER PUBLIC STATEMENTS
DEFINITION OF PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Coaches comply with the Ethics Code in public statements relating to their professional services, products or publications.
2.02
STATEMENTS BY OTHERS
(a) Coaches who engage others to create or place public statements that promote their professional practice, products or activities retain professional
responsibility for such statements.
(b) In addition, coaches make reasonable efforts to prevent others whom they
do not control (such as employers, publishers, sponsors, organizational clients
and representatives of the print or broadcast media) from making deceptive
statements concerning the coach or his/her professional activities.
(c) If coaches learn of deceptive statements about their work made by others,
coaches make reasonable efforts to correct such statements.
(d) Coaches do not compensate members of press, radio, television or other
communication media in return for publicity in a news item.
(e) A paid advertisement relating to the coach’s activities must be identified as
such, unless it is already apparent from the context.
AVOIDANCE OF FALSE OR DECEPTIVE STATEMENTS
2.04
MEDIA PRESENTATIONS
2.05
TESTIMONIALS
Coaches do not make public statements that are false, deceptive, misleading, or
fraudulent, either because of what they state, convey or suggest or because of
what they omit, concerning their work activities or those of persons or organizations with which they are affiliated. As examples (and not in limitation) of this
standard, coaches do not make false or deceptive statements concerning:
(1)
their training, experience, or competence;
(2)
their academic degrees;
(3)
their credentials;
(4)
their institutional or association affiliations;
(5)
their services;
(6)
the basis for, or results or degree of success of their services; or
(7)
their fees.
When coaches provide advice or comment by means of public lectures, demonstrations, radio or television programs, prerecorded tapes, printed articles,
mailed material or other media, they take reasonable precautions to ensure that
the statements are consistent with this Ethics Code.
Coaches do not solicit testimonials from current athletes or other participants who,
because of their particular circumstances, are vulnerable to undue influence.
165
SECTION 4
2.03
RECRUITING
2.06
Coaches do not engage, directly or through agents, in uninvited in-person solicitation of business from actual or potential athletes or other participants who,
because of their particular circumstances, are vulnerable to undue influence.
However, this does not preclude recruiting athletes deemed eligible by appropriate governing bodies.
3.0
3.01
TRAINING ATHLETES
STRUCTURING THE RELATIONSHIP
(a) Coaches discuss with athletes as early as is feasible appropriate issues,
such as the nature and anticipated course of training, fees and confidentiality.
(b) When the coach’s work with athletes will be supervised, the above discussion includes that fact and the name of the supervisor.
(c) When the coach is uncertified, the athlete is informed of that fact.
(d) Coaches make reasonable efforts to answer athletes’ questions and to avoid
apparent misunderstandings about training. Whenever possible, coaches provide oral and/or written information, using language that is reasonably understandable to the athlete.
3.02
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
(a) When a coach agrees to provide services to several persons who have a relationship (such as parents and children), the coach attempts to clarify at the outset
which of the individuals are athletes; and
the relationship the coach will have with each person. This
clarification includes the role of the coach and the probable
uses of the services provided.
(b) As soon as it becomes apparent that the coach may be called on to perform
potentially conflicting roles (such as intermediary between parents and children
or sibling teammates), the coach attempts to clarify and adjust, or withdraw from
roles, appropriately.
SECTION 4

(2)
3.03
PROVIDING COACHING SERVICES TO THOSE SERVED BY OTHERS
3.04
SEXUAL INTIMACIES WITH CURRENT ATHLETES
3.05
COACHING FORMER SEXUAL PARTNERS
In deciding whether to offer or provide services to those already receiving coaching services elsewhere, coaches carefully consider the potential athlete’s welfare. The coach discusses these issues with the athlete or another legally authorized person on behalf of the
athlete, in order to minimize the risk of confusion and conflict.
Coaches do not engage in sexual intimacies with current athletes.
Coaches do not coach athletes with whom they have engaged in sexual intimacies.
166
3.06
SEXUAL INTIMACIES WITH FORMER ATHLETES
(a) Coaches should not engage in sexual intimacies with a former athlete for at
least two years after cessation or termination of professional services.
(b) Because sexual intimacies with a former athlete are so frequently harmful to
the athlete, and because such intimacies undermine public confidence in the
coaching profession and thereby deter the public’s use of needed services,
coaches do not engage in sexual intimacies with former athletes even after a
two-year interval except in the most unusual circumstances. The coach who
engages in such activity after the two years following cessation or termination of
the coach-athlete relationship bears the burden of demonstrating that there has
been no exploitation, in light of all relevant factors, including:
(1)
the amount of time that has passed since the coach-athlete
relationship terminated;
(2)
the circumstances of termination;
(3)
the athlete’s personal history;
(4)
the athlete’s current mental status;
(5)
the likelihood of adverse impact on the athlete and others;
and
(6)
any statements or actions made by the coach during the
course of the athlete-coach relationship suggesting or inviting
the possibility of a post-termination sexual or romantic relationship with the athlete or coach.
3.07
DRUG-FREE SPORT
3.08
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO
(a) Coaches do not tolerate the use of performance enhancing drugs and support athletes’ efforts to be drug-free.
(a) Coaches discourage the use of alcohol and tobacco in conjunction with athletic events or victory celebrations at playing sites and forbid use of alcohol by
minors.
(b) Coaches refrain from tobacco and alcohol use while they are coaching and
make every effort to avoid their use while in the presence of their athletes.
INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES
(a) Coaches make reasonable efforts to plan for training in the event that
coaching services are interrupted by factors such as the coach’s illness, death,
unavailability or relocation or by the client’s relocation or financial limitations.
(b) When entering into employment or contractual relationships, coaches provide for orderly and appropriate resolution of responsibility for athlete training in
the event that the employment or contractual relationship ends, with paramount
consideration given to the welfare of the athlete.
3.10
TERMINATING THE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP
(a) Coaches terminate a professional relationship when it becomes reasonably
167
SECTION 4
3.09
clear that the athlete no longer needs the service, is not benefiting or is being
harmed by continued service.
(b) Prior to termination, for whatever reason, except where precluded by the
athlete’s conduct, the coach discusses the athlete’s views and needs, provides
appropriate pre-termination counseling, suggests alternative service providers
as appropriate and takes other reasonable steps to facilitate transfer of responsibility to another provider if the athlete needs one immediately.
4.0
4.01
TRAINING SUPERVISION
DESIGN OF TRAINING PROGRAMS
Coaches who are responsible for training programs for other coaches seek to
ensure that the programs are competently designed, provide the proper experiences and meet the requirements for certification or other goals for which
claims are made by the program.
4.02
DESCRIPTIONS OF TRAINING PROGRAMS
(a) Coaches responsible for training programs for other coaches seek to ensure that
there is a current and accurate description of the program content, training goals and
objectives, and requirements that must be met for satisfactory completion of the program. This information must be readily available to all interested parties.
(b) Coaches seek to ensure that statements concerning their training programs
are accurate and not misleading.
4.03
ACCURACY AND OBJECTIVITY IN COACHING
(a) When engaged in coaching, coaches present information accurately and
with a reasonable degree of objectivity.
(b) When engaged in coaching, coaches recognize the power they hold over
athletes and therefore make reasonable efforts to avoid engaging in conduct
that is personally demeaning to athletes and other participants.
SECTION 4
4.04
ASSESSING ATHLETE PERFORMANCE
(a) In coach-athlete relationships, coaches establish an appropriate process for
providing feedback to athletes.
(b) Coaches evaluate athletes on the basis of their actual performance on relevant and established program requirements.
4.05
HONORING COMMITMENTS
5.0
TEAM SELECTION
Coaches take reasonable measures to honor all commitments they have made
to athletes.
(a) Coaches perform evaluations or team selection only within the context of a
defined professional relationship.
168
(b) Coaches’ assessments, recommendations, reports, and evaluative statements used to select team members are based on information and techniques
sufficient to provide appropriate substantiation for their findings.

RESOLVING ETHICAL ISSUES
6.01
FAMILIARITY WITH ETHICS CODE
6.02
CONFRONTING ETHICAL ISSUES
6.03
CONFLICTS BETWEEN ETHICS AND ORGANIZATIONAL
DEMANDS
Coaches have an obligation to be familiar with this Ethics Code, other applicable ethics codes, and their application to the coaches’ work. Lack of awareness
or misunderstanding of an ethical standard is not itself a defense to a charge of
unethical conduct.
When a coach is uncertain whether a particular situation or course of action
would violate the Ethics Code, the coach ordinarily consults with other coaches
knowledgeable about ethical issues, with NGB or USOC ethics committees, or
with other appropriate authorities in order to choose a proper response.
If the demands of an organization with which coaches are affiliated conflict with
this Ethics Code, coaches clarify the nature of the conflict, make known their
commitment to the Ethics Code, and to the extent feasible, seek to resolve the
conflict in a way that permits the fullest adherence to the Ethics Code.
6.04
INFORMAL RESOLUTION OF ETHICAL VIOLATIONS
6.05
REPORTING ETHICAL VIOLATIONS
6.06
COOPERATING WITH ETHICS COMMITTEES
6.07
IMPROPER COMPLAINTS
When coaches believe that there may have been an ethical violation by another
coach, they attempt to resolve the issue by bringing it to the attention of that
individual if an informal resolution appears appropriate and when intervention
does not violate any athlete rights that may be involved.
Coaches cooperate in ethics investigations, proceedings and resulting requirements of the USOC and any NGB to which they belong. Failure to cooperate is
itself an ethics violation.
Coaches do not file or encourage the filing of ethics complaints that are frivolous and are intended to harm the respondent rather than to protect the public.
169
SECTION 4
If an apparent ethical violation is not appropriate for informal resolution under
Standard 6.04 or is not resolved properly in that fashion, coaches take further
action appropriate to the situation, unless such action conflicts with athlete
rights in ways that cannot be resolved. Such action might include referral to
NGB or USOC committees on professional ethics.
PROCESS RELATING TO VIOLATION OF CODE
7.0
7.01 The coach acknowledges that this Ethics Code is administered under the
authority of the NGB or other responsible organization and that a violation of
this Code subjects the coach to the processes of the NGB or other such organization required to be provided in the event of disciplinary action. The NGB or
other such organization acknowledges that all violations of the Ethics Code will
be reviewed for possible disciplinary action and it will provide a written report to
the USOC on all reviews and actions.
7.02 In the event that a violation of the Ethics Code occurs during an authorized U.S. Olympic Training Center activity, USOC may, as landlord of the facility,
take action separate and independent from that of the NGB or member of the
USOC in order to protect its interests and those of athletes, coaches and others
at the location.
7.03 Any action taken by an NGB or member of the USOC which affects the
opportunity of a coach to participate in "protected" competition as defined in the
USOC Constitution shall be entitled to processes assured under the USOC
Constitution and the Amateur Sports Act of 1978. This includes process within
the NGB, the USOC and the American Arbitration Association.
7.04 If the violation of the Ethics Code occurs while a member of a USOC team
or event, the coach and NGB acknowledge that the USOC may institute its own
proceeding regarding the violation, which action shall not restrict the ability or
obligation of the NGB to take its own separate and independent action.
7.05 In the event that a coach is found to have violated the Ethics Code, such
action is separate and apart from any other legal consequences which may
occur as a result of the act.
SECTION 4
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This Coaching Code of Ethics is the result of the work of many people and committees. The approach, structure, and contents of this code were inspired by
the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, December 1992
(American Psychological Association, Vol. 47, No. 12, 1597-1611). Many of the
ideas for ethical standards were drawn from numerous other codes. The most
significant of these were developed by the Coaching Association of Canada,
The British Institute of Sport Coaches, and the NCAA. In particular, the USOC
would like to thank the following individuals who were involved with this committee during the 1993-1996 quadrennium:
USOC Coaching Committee, Ray Essick, Chair
USOC Ethics Oversight Committee, Harry Groves, Chair
USOC Games Preparation and Services Committee, Joe Kearney, Chair
USOC Training Centers Committee, Mike Jacki, Chair
USOC Vice President Michael B. Lenard
USOC General Counsel Ronald T. Rowan

VIII. USAV AGE AND IDENTITY FALSIFICATION POLICY (Adopted
by BOD January 2004): For all USA Volleyball corporate events, any
person who alters any document that certifies the age or identity of a
participant, or falsifies any statement which lists the age or identity of a
participant, will be sanctioned as follows:
A. Be immediately suspended from USA Volleyball registration, RVA mem178
Any player in question must provide proof of identity and
age eligibility, if requested.
When discovered and confirmed during an event, these penalties shall be
the required minimum penalty imposed by the Event Arbitrator or the
Event Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee.
The Event Arbitrator or the Event Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee
may recommend a more severe penalty. The Event Arbitrator or the Event
Ethics and Eligibility Appeals Committee shall file a report of any age or
identity violation with the Corporation’s Ethics and Eligibility Committee and
with the registering Affiliate Organization with its recommendation.
IX. USAV GENDER IDENTIFICATION POLICY: The vast majority of
athletes are expected to compete as a member of the gender noted on
their birth certificate. Athletes who wish to compete as a member of the
gender opposite that noted on their birth certificate must register with USAV
and provide appropriate documentation of their adopted gender to the
USAV Gender Identification Committee (GIC) at least two (2) months prior
to their first USAV competition. Compelling medical documentation must
accompany this registration, including medical records and physicians'
statements.
The GIC reserves the right to consult and share relevant information with
experts, as deemed necessary.
USAV has reviewed and in general agrees with the International Olympic
Committee’s Stockholm Consensus on transsexual athletes, and therefore
requires these athletes meet the following criteria in order to be eligible for
competition:
A. Hormonal therapy appropriate for the adopted gender shall have been
administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time
(at least two years) to minimize gender-related advantages in sport
179
SECTION 5
bership and barred from further participation in the event;
Be barred from participation in any USAV Corporate events in any capacity for a minimum of two (2) years; and
C. Have a minimum probation of one additional year to run consecutively
with the suspension.
A junior player who knowingly plays in a lower age classification than which he
or she is actually eligible, or an adult player who knowingly plays in a higher
age classification for which he or she is actually eligible, or any player who
knowingly misrepresents his/her identity shall:
A. Be immediately suspended from USA Volleyball membership and barred
from further participation in the event;
B. Be barred from participation in any USAV Corporate events in any capacity for a minimum of two (2) years; and
C. Have a minimum probation of one additional year to run consecutively
with the suspension.
B.
SECTION 5
B.
competitions;
Surgical anatomical changes have been completed, including modification of the external genitalia and gonadectomy.
In addition, USAV requires that a transsexual athlete provide:
A. Evidence that the individual’s adopted gender has been legally accepted (e.g., a copy of the athlete’s driver's license, passport, or a current
insurance policy indicating the individual’s current gender).
Note that the above conditions apply to individuals undergoing gender reassignment procedures following the onset of puberty. Any individual undergoing gender reassignment prior to the onset of puberty is (for practical
purposes) considered to have been born into the postoperative gender.
Once established by the GIC, an athlete’s gender of record will stand for all
future USAV competitions. In the event that the gender of an athlete competing in a USAV sanctioned event is questioned, the matter shall be referred to the Tournament Director or Arbitrator. If reasonable discussion
cannot resolve the dispute at its inception, the matter will be referred to the
GIC, which shall undertake a confidential case-by-case evaluation, as
appropriate. While the case is under review, the athlete whose gender is in
question may compete in USAV sanctioned events. The GIC shall have the
authority to request any and all tests and measures for the determination of
the gender of a competitor, according to accepted medical standards.
USAV assumes no liability for the costs involved in this process. Any and
all expenses incurred as part of the GIC’s confidential evaluation shall be
the negotiated responsibility of the parties involved. If the GIC concludes
that the athlete in question intentionally and deliberately attempted to
engage in gender fraud, the athlete will be suspended from further participation in USAV sanctioned events for a minimum of two years. Frivolous or
unfounded allegations of sexual misrepresentation will also be sanctioned.
Although the GIC shall serve as the final arbiter for USAV in such matters,
an appeal of its findings and decisions may be made within 30 days of their
release in accordance with USAV Bylaws.
An Example of the Proposed Process
1. An athlete’s gender is felt to be incongruous with the category in
which the athlete is competing.
2. The tournament director or arbitrator is informed of the allegations of
gender misrepresentation.
3. The TD/A reviews the available documentation and gathers information
in an effort to resolve any misunderstandings that prompted the allegation.
4. If unable to resolve the issue to the satisfaction of all involved, the
case will be referred to the USAV GIC.
5. The GIC will review the available information, and shall have the
authority to request further information and/or testing as indicated.
6. Once all requested data is available for review, the GIC will render a
formal opinion on the validity of the accusations.
7. If the GIC decides that the athlete has intentionally misrepresented
