HomeMy WebLinkAbout2018-04-17; City Council; ; Adopt a Resolution authorizing execution of an Agreement with Master Concepts, LLC dba Master Sports to provide Youth Basketball Program Administration, in an amount notof sportsmanship as outlined in the Department's T.R.U.S.T (Teaching Respect and Unity
through Teamwork) program.
The Parks & Recreation Department recognized the potential for continued growth in the
program as evidenced by waitlists for various divisions, as well as the potential to expand
beyond the current two seasons and ages served.
The Parks & Recreation Department determined that offering youth basketball programming
through best value determined vendors allows the city to receive high quality youth basketball
program administration that will help promote further growth while maintaining program
quality, without the need for substantial internal staffing or procurement of materials and
supplies. On Jan. 4, 2018, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised for the administration of
youth basketball programming. The RFP detailed that the chosen company would be
responsible for management and oversight of the youth basketball program, including
procurement of supplies, conducting evaluations and formation of teams, volunteer
recruitment, scheduling of practices and games, and assigning staff. All program registrations
would continue to be handled and processed by the Parks and Recreation Department.
On Jan. 17, 2018, staff conducted a mandatory pre-submittal meeting to review the RFP and
answer any questions from interested parties. Four companies and organizations participated
in that meeting. In addition, the RFP process allowed for written questions regarding the RFP
from interested companies and organizations through Jan. 23, 2018. No questions were
submitted.
On Feb. 5, 2018, staff received three responsive submittals and distributed copies to a selection
committee comprised of Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments staff. Responses to
the RFP were evaluated pursuant to Municipal Code section 3.28.060, and each committee
member was required to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure the fairness of the
procurement process. Each contract proposal was evaluated based on (1) depth of vendor
experience with similar programs, (2) scope of services being provided, (3) proposed fee for
participants and revenue sharing between vendor and City, and (4) proposed staff qualifications
and experience.
The selection committee recommends awarding an Agreement for Youth Basketball Program
Administration to Master Concepts, LLC dba Master Sports.
Fiscal Analysis
The proposed Agreement with Master Concepts, LLC dba Master Sports is for an amount not to
exceed a total of $364,000 for the initial two-year term. Funding for this agreement will be
offset by program registration revenue. Master Sports will receive an amount equal to seventy
percent of the registration fee collected, excluding transaction fees, non-resident fees and/or
and fees that are refunded.

The city will realize approximately $77,000 in annual net revenue as a result of this agreement.
The previous annual net revenue has been approximately $50,000.
Program fees will be $150 per participant during the Summer 2018 season, which is a $5
increase from the current fee. Beginning with the Winter 2018-19 season, program fees will be
$155 per participant, which is a $10 increase from the current fee. The currently planned
increases in participant fees had already been established prior to the advertising of the RFP.
The City Manager or his/her designee is authorized to set parks and recreation class fees that
are included in the Community Services Guide under City Council Resolution No. 2017-111.
Should the program fees need to increase beyond the $155 per participant fee planned for
Winter 2018-19, the City Manager has the authority under the Carlsbad Municipal Code and
City Council Resolution No. 2017-111 to set new fees and amend the Agreement accordingly.
Next Steps
Upon execution of the Agreement, Master Concepts, LLC dba Master Sports will begin providing
Youth Basketball Program Administration per the terms of the agreement.

in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,

City of Carlsbad 3
COACHES ROLE & CONDUCT
The criterion of the successful volunteer coach is not the win / loss record of his / her team. It is, rather, whether the behavior of the players changed in
a positive way and whether valuable lessons were learned. The uninformed
coach is only interested in winning games. The good coach is just as interested
in winning games but, in addition, wants his / her players to come out of the
athletic experience as better citizens on and off the court.
The coaches behavior in relation to officials should obey the following
guidelines:
1. The official should be treated with respect.
2. Judgement calls made by officials should not be questioned.
In cases of suspected rules misinterpretation, the official should be
addressed in a courteous manner during a period of time out, and he / she
will reply in a courteous manner.
3. The coach shall stay off the court and remain in the designated
coaches box.
4. Players are not allowed to question officials’ decisions.
Education of the parents and spectators is one of the coach’s basic
responsibilities. These individuals should be reminded that the philosophy of the program is for youth to enjoy themselves and learn the importance of
teamwork, sportsmanship, and acquire the ability to cope with competitive
situations. Occasionally it may be necessary for the coach to have parent
meetings to instill the proper attitude. During games, a word from the coach to
a spectator who is “out of line” will usually be more effective than a reprimand from a game official or gym supervisor.
Coaches Code of Conduct
All coaches shall abstain from the following actions at all times.
Any violation of these rules will result in disciplinary action.
• Foul or obscene language
• Indecent gestures
• Fighting (Physical contact of any type)
• Officials abuse
• Substance abuse
• Object throwing
• Arguing with the opposing team’s coaches or parents for any reason
• Harassing own or opposing team’s players, coaches or parents
• Violating written division rules or safety rules
• Any display of unsportsmanlike conduct

GYM SUPERVISORS
Gym supervisors are responsible for providing direction and organization
for the Youth Basketball Program. A gym supervisor is expected to maintain
exemplary behavior and sportsmanship at all times. All coaches /parents who
have concerns or questions should seek out a gym supervisor who will be able
to assist them.
Gym Supervisors are expected to:
• Act on behalf of the league and the Youth Sports Office.

COACHES ADMINISTRATION
FIRST TEAM MEETING
The initial call to a child should be directed to the parents, as the child
may be too excited to remember the necessary information. The parents
should be given your name, phone number, e-mail and team name, as well
as the day, time and place of the first team meeting. Parents should be encouraged to attend the first meeting with their children. The first meeting
is an appropriate time for the coach to explain to the parents and players the
philosophy of the program, role of the officials and staff, number and times
of games and practices, and culminating activities. This is the time for all
coaches to establish a rapport and set guidelines for player commitment in practices and games.
Of equal importance is the dissemination of information to parents
and getting commitments in telephoning players as needed, providing
refreshments and assisting with practices and games (team parents). No matter what the age or level, the interest of the parents and their attendance
at the games will increase the children’s interest and make the game more
fun to them.
EQUIPMENT CHECK-OUT AND RETURN
Practice equipment is available for check-out to each head coach at the gym
ball room. Equipment is to be checked in immediately following each team’s
practice or game. An I.D. or collateral may be required.
PLAYER PRACTICE PARTICIPATION
All participants who are registered in the program will receive playing time
based on their practice attendance. Coaches are allowed to have up to two
practices a week (1 primary, 1 optional). If a child misses the primary practice
time the coach has the option of only playing the child 5 minutes a half. If a
child misses the optional practice the minimum play rule (10 min. a half) will remain in effect.
PLAYER MANAGEMENT
It is important that the coach explain his / her expectations for all team
members at the first practice, and maintain consistency throughout the season. The coach’s guidelines should be consistent with program / park
rules and policies and should be uniformly applied to all team members. In
dealing with children, each coach should be aware that:
1. Each child should be treated as an individual and dealt with according to
his / her own unique personality.
2. Demand for perfection may lead to loss of interest
among some players.
City of Carlsbad 7
3. Discipline should be given privately, away from the player’s peers
whenever possible, and should be positive rather than degrading.
4. Children will be most receptive to the coach who is considerate,
cooperative and patient.
5. Children cannot be expected to behave as “small adults” (unreasonable
and immature behavior can be expected and must be handled with an adult response by the coach).
6. The coach has the responsibility for ensuring that players maintain
respect and the proper attitude toward game officials, spectators and
opponents.
In the event that a player has not conformed to agreed-upon team standards
(absent at team practices without valid excuses, fighting, swearing, etc.) the
coach may be allowed to suspend the player for one game, with the Youth
Sports office’s approval. Continued offenses may require other actions which
must first be approved by the Youth Sports office. The coach should exhaust all other possibilities such as discussing the problem with the player and
parents before calling the office regarding suspensions.
SETTING REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Many athletes need help in learning their limitations without devaluing themselves. Coaches, rather than conveying the inaccuracy that every
athlete is capable of becoming a superstar or professional athletes, must
realize that participants will mature more if they encourage youngsters to
seek out and discover for themselves their own limits.
De-emphasize winning and reemphasize attainment of personal goals.
These are the vital steps to enhancing the motivation of all young athletes.
“You do not win as a person, you win as a team!”
MISCONDUCT
Most first-time minor violations to the “Code of Conduct” should be resolved
between individuals or within the team. Serious violations of the “Code of
Conduct” should be immediately reported to the appropriate Gym Supervisor and the Youth Sports Coordinator. The Youth Sports Coordinator and
Recreation Supervisor will conduct a thorough review of the situation with the
assistance of the appropriate Gym Supervisor.
