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 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.

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. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore, does not require an environmental review.

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 4 Parks & Recreation Department PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT All players shall abstain from the following activities at all times. Any violation of these rules will result in disciplinary action. • Fighting • Foul or obscene language • Indecent gestures • Arguing with officials and/or city staff for any reason • Substance abuse • Object thrown in anger • Showing disrespect or arguing with coaches • Harassing opposing team’s players, coaches or parents • Any display of unsportsmanlike conduct. PARENTS ROLE & CONDUCT Parents are encouraged to attend games and provide enthusiastic support for their child and the game. Parents shall abstain from the following actions at all time. Any violation of these rules will result in disciplinary action. • Foul or obscene language • Indecent gestures • Officials abuse • Substance abuse • Object throwing • Arguing with the opposing team’s coaches or parents for any reason • Heckling or harassing own or opposing players, coaches or parents 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. • Maintain the “Code of Conduct“ for coaches and parents when conducting business on behalf of the City of Carlsbad. • Conform to all the rules established by the Youth Sports Office and the T.R.U.S.T. Program. City of Carlsbad 5 VISION OF TRUST MISSION STATEMENT In our continuing effort to create community through people, parks and programs, the Parks & Recreation Department will strive to provide quality activities that are safe, fair and enriching for all of its participants, spectators and administrators.

CITY OF (i,ARLSBAD T•Fl•U•S•T Program Teaclti11g Respect, U11ity, a11d Sports111a11ship llm111gh Teamwork 6 Parks & Recreation Department 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. 8 Parks & Recreation Department GAME INFORMATION TEAM ORGANIZATION A.
