Internet/Social Media
 
While the internet is helpful to disseminate a lot of information quickly to a lot of people, it can also be an outlet for misuse and misconduct.  At no time will a CBS Minor Softball league member and/or All Star Team member be allowed to post messages or comments pertaining to any softball item to online chat rooms, blogs, bulletin boards, etc.  This behaviour is unacceptable by any player and may reflect negatively against the reputation and integrity of you, your family and the CBS Minor Softball Association. Message boards that should avoid any comments include, but aren’t limited to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  All negative comments should be reported to your coach, Coordinator or executive immediately and appropriate action will be taken.  CBS Minor Softball league members may post appropriate videos or pictures of team games or positive comments about your team, if desired, but extreme care should be taken when choosing what and where to post. If in doubt don’t post it!.
