By participating in the North Shore competition, or representing North Shore, you are agreeing to abide by these codes of conduct. Failure to abide by these can result in disciplinary action by the North Shore committee.

These codes were adopted on 13th March 2018, as agreed at NSDSA committee meeting held on that day. 

Member Protection

The Association and its members - including all coaches, officials, players and spectators - are bound by and required to follow the Member Protection Policy of Softball Australia. 

Please be aware that NSDSA has a Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) who is available to listen to a complaint and provide impartial and confidential support as you determine how you would like to proceed. The MPIO is not involved in the handling or resolution process beyond providing information and support to you. Our MPIO is currently Fiona Gow - you can contact Fiona via email: mpio@nsdsa.org.au
