Recommended Action

Department’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget.
Executive Summary
The Parks & Recreation Department offers a youth basketball program for boys and girls in
kindergarten through eighth grade. It has been administered by Master Concepts since 2017,
whose current agreement with the city expires on April 18, 2024.
Staff requested proposals from qualified vendors and, after reviewing and ranking the three
proposals received, a selection committee determined that Master Concepts was the best
qualified, for the reasons detailed below.
Staff recommend the City Council authorize the execution of a new agreement with Master
Concepts for youth basketball league administration services.
The agreement requires the approval of the City Council under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
3.28.060 because the services will cost the city more than $100,000 per agreement year.
Explanation & Analysis
The youth basketball program, consisting of weekly practices and games, is offered during the
winter, spring, summer and fall seasons. Participation in the program has steadily increased to
about 900 winter participants and 400 participants in each of the spring, summer, and fall
seasons.
April 16, 2024 Item #4 Page 1 of 43
The program was administered internally by staff until 2017. At that time, the Parks &
Recreation Department recognized the potential growth in the program if its administration
were contracted out. Master Concepts began performing the contractual administration of this
program in fall 2017. Since then, staff and Master Concepts have increased participation levels
by approximately 250 winter participants and a combined 800 participants between the other
three seasons.
Participants are placed on teams supervised by volunteer coaches who instruct children in the
fundamentals of the sport and experience games in a non-competitive environment. Coaches
are provided annual training and are expected to uphold the high level of sportsmanship
outlined in the Department's T.R.U.S.T (Teaching Respect and Unity through Teamwork)
program.
The current agreement with Master Concepts for youth basketball league administration
expires on April 18, 2024. The Parks & Recreation Department determined that continuing to
offer youth basketball programming through a best value-determined contractor allows the city
to receive high quality youth basketball program administration. This administration is
anticipated to help promote further growth in the program while maintaining quality, without
the need for substantial staffing and procurement of materials and supplies.
• Staff issued a request for proposals for the administration of youth basketball
programming on Jan. 4, 2024. The request detailed that the chosen contractor
would be responsible for management and oversight of the youth basketball
program, including procuring materials and supplies, conducting evaluations,
and forming teams, recruiting volunteers, scheduling practices and games,
and assigning staff. All program registrations would continue to be processed
by the Parks & Recreation Department.
• Staff conducted a mandatory pre-submittal meeting to review the request for
proposals and answer any questions from interested contractors on Jan. 17,
2024. Three contractors participated in that meeting. In addition, the
solicitation process allowed the contractors to ask written questions about
the request until Jan. 23, 2024.
• On Feb. 5, 2024, staff received three responsive submittals and distributed
copies to a selection committee comprised of Parks & Recreation Department
staff. The responses were evaluated in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 3.28.060 - Procurement of professional services and services,
and each committee member was required to sign a confidentiality
agreement to ensure the fairness of the procurement process.
Each contractor’s proposal was reviewed and ranked, using the following pre-established
weighted evaluation criteria:

15%

possible agreement.
Fiscal Analysis
The proposed agreement with Master Concepts is for an amount not to exceed $360,000 per
year for the initial two-year term. Master Concepts will receive 67.5% of the program
registration fees collected, excluding transaction fees, non-resident fees and fees that are
refunded. The city will retain 32.5% of program registration fees collected. The projected fee
sharing for the first year of the agreement is shown in the following chart.
April 16, 2024 Item #4 Page 3 of 43
Projected fee sharing for the first year of the agreement with Master Concepts
Season Participants Program fees
collected
Master Concepts:
67.5%
Carlsbad:
32.5%
Summer 2024 375 $80,625 $54,421 $26,204
Fall 2024 300 $64,500 $43,537 $20,963
Winter 2025 1,000 $215,000 $145,125 $69,875
Spring 2025 400 $86,000 $58,050 $27,950
Totals $446,125 $301,133 $144,992
Higher initial costs are being driven by increased participation in the program; however, this will
be offset by a reduced share to Master Concepts in the new agreement, from 70% to 67.5% of
fees collected. Additionally, revenues will be higher due to the increased participation and an
increase in the participant fee. An appropriation of $55,000 from the General Fund to the Parks
& Recreation Department’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget is needed to address the
higher initial costs. Funds required for the balance of the agreement will be requested in the
Parks & Recreation Department’s subsequent fiscal year Operating Budgets.
Beginning with the summer 2024 season, the youth basketball program fees will be $215 per
participant, which is a $10 per participant increase from the current program fees. The increase
in program fees had already been established before the request for proposals was advertised.
The City Manager or 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.
Next Steps
Master Concepts will continue providing youth basketball league administration services, under
the terms of the agreement.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public
Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

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.
guidelines:
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.
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
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
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)
• Substance abuse

• Arguing with the opposing team’s coaches or parents for any reason

of games and practices, and culminating activities. This is the time for all

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
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
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
2. Demand for perfection may lead to loss of interest
among some players.
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
opponents.
In the event that a player has not conformed to agreed-upon team standards
coach may be allowed to suspend the player for one game, with the Youth

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
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

the county licensing agency which has contracted with the state for performance of those duties.
11165.12. As used in this article, the following definitions shall control:
(a) "Unfounded report" means a report that is determined by the investigator who conducted the investigation to be false, to be
inherently improbable, to involve an accidental injury, or not to constitute child abuse or neglect, as defined in Section 11165.6.
(b) "Substantiated report" means a report that is determined by the investigator who conducted the investigation to constitute
child abuse or neglect, as defined in Section 11165.6, based upon evidence that makes it more likely than not that child abuse or
neglect, as defined, occurred.
(c) "Inconclusive report" means a report that is determined by the investigator who conducted the investigation not to be
unfounded, but the findings are inconclusive and there is insufficient evidence to determine whether child abuse or neglect, as
defined in Section 11165.6, has occurred.
11165.13. For purposes of this article, a positive toxicology screen at the time of the delivery of an infant is not in and of
itself a sufficient basis for reporting child abuse or neglect. However, any indication of maternal substance abuse shall lead to an
assessment of the needs of the mother and child pursuant to Section 123605 of the Health and Safety Code. If other factors are
present that indicate risk to a child, then a report shall be made. However, a report based on risk to a child which relates solely to
the inability of the parent to provide the child with regular care due to the parent's substance abuse shall be made only to a county
welfare or probation department, and not to a law enforcement agency.
11165.14. The appropriate local law enforcement agency shall investigate a child abuse complaint filed by a parent or guardian of
a pupil with a school or an agency specified in Section 11165.9 against a school employee or other person that commits an act of

child abuse, as defined in this article, against a pupil at a schoolsite and shall transmit a substantiated report, as defined in
Section 11165.12, of that investigation to the governing board of the appropriate school district or county office of education. A
substantiated report received by a governing board of a school district or county office of education shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 44031 of the Education Code.
11166. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (d), and in Section 11166.05, a mandated reporter shall make a report to an agency
specified in Section 11165.9 whenever the mandated reporter, in his or her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her
employment, has knowledge of or observes a child whom the mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim
of child abuse or neglect. The mandated reporter shall make an initial report to the agency immediately or as soon as is practicably
possible by telephone and the mandated reporter shall prepare and send, fax, or electronically transmit a written followup report
thereof within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the incident. The mandated reporter may include with the report
any nonprivileged documentary evidence the mandated reporter possesses relating to the incident.
(1) For the purposes of this article, "reasonable suspicion" means that it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a
suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her training
and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. For the purpose of this article, the pregnancy of a minor does not, in and of itself,
constitute a basis for a reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
(2) The agency shall be notified and a report shall be prepared and sent, faxed, or electronically transmitted even if the child has
expired, regardless of whether or not the possible abuse was a factor contributing to the death, and even if suspected child abuse
was discovered during an autopsy.
(3) Any report made by a mandated reporter pursuant to this section shall be known as a mandated report.
(b) If after reasonable efforts a mandated reporter is unable to submit an initial report by telephone, he or she shall immediately
or as soon as is practicably possible, by fax or electronic transmission, make a one-time automated written report on the form
prescribed by the Department of Justice, and shall also be available to respond to a telephone followup call by the agency with
which he or she filed the report. A mandated reporter who files a one-time automated written report because he or she was unable
to submit an initial report by telephone is not required to submit a written followup report.
(1) The one-time automated written report form prescribed by the Department of Justice shall be clearly identifiable so that it is
not mistaken for a standard written followup report. In addition, the automated one-time report shall contain a section that allows
the mandated reporter to state the reason the initial telephone call was not able to be completed. The reason for the submission of
the one-time automated written report in lieu of the procedure prescribed in subdivision (a) shall be captured in the Child Welfare
Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS). The department shall work with stakeholders to modify reporting forms and the
CWS/CMS as is necessary to accommodate the changes enacted by these provisions.
(2) This subdivision shall not become operative until the CWS/CMS is updated to capture the information prescribed in this
subdivision.
(3) This subdivision shall become inoperative three years after this subdivision becomes operative or on January 1, 2009,
whichever occurs first.
(4) On the inoperative date of these provisions, a report shall be submitted to the counties and the Legislature by the Department
of Social Services that reflects the data collected from automated one-time reports indicating the reasons stated as to why the
automated one-time report was filed in lieu of the initial telephone report.
(5) Nothing in this section shall supersede the requirement that a mandated reporter first attempt to make a report via telephone,
or that agencies specified in Section 11165.9 accept reports from mandated reporters and other persons as required.
(c) Any mandated reporter who fails to report an incident of known or reasonably suspected child abuse or neglect as required by
this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months confinement in a county jail or by a fine of one thousand
dollars ($1,000) or by both that imprisonment and fine. If a mandated reporter intentionally conceals his or her failure to report an
incident known by the mandated reporter to be abuse or severe neglect under this section, the failure to report is a continuing
offense until an agency specified in Section 11165.9 discovers the offense.
(d) (1) A clergy member who acquires knowledge or a reasonable suspicion of child abuse or neglect during a penitential
communication is not subject to subdivision (a). For the purposes of this subdivision, "penitential communication" means a
communication, intended to be in confidence, including, but not limited to, a sacramental confession, made to a clergy member
who, in the course of the discipline or practice of his or her church, denomination, or organization, is authorized or accustomed to
hear those communications, and under the discipline, tenets, customs, or practices of his or her church, denomination, or
organization, has a duty to keep those communications secret. (2) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to modify or limit a
clergy member's duty to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect when the clergy member is acting in some other capacity
that would otherwise make the clergy member a mandated reporter. (3) (A) On or before January 1, 2004, a clergy member or any
custodian of records for the clergy member may report to an agency specified in Section 11165.9 that the clergy member or any
custodian of records for the clergy member, prior to January 1, 1997, in his or her professional capacity or within the scope of his or
her employment, other than during a penitential communication, acquired knowledge or had a reasonable suspicion that a child had
been the victim of sexual abuse that the clergy member or any custodian of records for the clergy member did not previously report
the abuse to an agency specified in Section 11165.9. The provisions of Section 11172 shall apply to all reports made pursuant to this

paragraph. (B) This paragraph shall apply even if the victim of the known or suspected abuse has reached the age of majority by the
time the required report is made. (C) The local law enforcement agency shall have jurisdiction to
investigate any report of child abuse made pursuant to this paragraph even if the report is made after the victim has reached the
age of majority. (e) Any commercial film and photographic print processor who has knowledge of or observes, within the scope of
his or her professional capacity or employment, any film, photograph, videotape, negative, or slide depicting a child under the age of
16 years engaged in an act of sexual conduct, shall report the instance of suspected child abuse to the law enforcement agency
having jurisdiction over the case immediately, or as soon as practicably possible, by telephone and shall prepare and send, fax, or
electronically transmit a written report of it with a copy of the film, photograph, videotape, negative, or slide attached within 36
hours of receiving the information concerning the incident. As used in this subdivision, "sexual conduct" means any of the following:
(1) Sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or
opposite sex or between humans and animals. (2) Penetration of the vagina or rectum by any object.
(3) Masturbation for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer. (4) Sadomasochistic abuse for the purpose of sexual
stimulation of the viewer. (5) Exhibition of the genitals, pubic, or rectal areas of any person for the purpose of sexual stimulation of
the viewer. (f) Any mandated reporter who knows or reasonably suspects that the home or institution in which a child resides is
unsuitable for the child because of abuse or neglect of the child shall bring the condition to the attention of the agency to which, and
at the same time as, he or she makes a report of the abuse or neglect pursuant to subdivision (a). (g) Any other person who has
knowledge of or observes a child whom he or she knows or reasonably suspects has been a victim of child abuse or neglect may
report the known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect to an agency specified in Section 11165.9. For purposes of this
section, "any other person" includes a mandated reporter who acts in his or her private capacity and not in his or her professional
capacity or within the scope of his or her employment. (h) When two or more persons, who are required to report, jointly
have knowledge of a known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect, and when there is agreement among them, the
telephone report may be made by a member of the team selected by mutual agreement and a single report may be made and
signed by the selected member of the reporting team. Any member who has knowledge that the member designated to report has
failed to do so shall thereafter make the report. (i) (1) The reporting duties under this section are individual,
and no supervisor or administrator may impede or inhibit the reporting duties, and no person making a report shall be subject to
any sanction for making the report. However, internal procedures to facilitate reporting and apprise supervisors and administrators
of reports may be established provided that they are not inconsistent with this article. (2) The internal procedures shall not require
any employee required to make reports pursuant to this article to disclose his or her identity to the employer. (3) Reporting the
information regarding a case of possible child abuse or neglect to an employer, supervisor, school principal, school
counselor, coworker, or other person shall not be a substitute for making a mandated report to an agency specified in Section
11165.9. (j) A county probation or welfare department shall immediately, or as soon as practicably possible, report by telephone,
fax, or electronic transmission to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the case, to the agency given the
responsibility for investigation of cases under Section 300 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, and to the district attorney's office
every known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect, as defined in Section 11165.6, except acts or omissions coming within
subdivision (b) of Section 11165.2, or reports made pursuant to Section 11165.13 based on risk to a child which relates solely to the
inability of the parent to provide the child with regular care due to the parent's substance abuse, which shall be reported only to the
county welfare or probation department. A county probation or welfare department also shall send, fax, or electronically transmit a
written report thereof within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the incident to any agency to which it makes a
telephone report under this subdivision. (k) A law enforcement agency shall immediately, or as soon as practicably possible, report
by telephone, fax, or electronic transmission to the agency given responsibility for investigation of cases under Section 300 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code and to the district attorney's office every known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect
reported to it, except acts or omissions coming within subdivision (b) of Section 11165.2, which shall be reported only to the county
welfare or probation department. A law enforcement agency shall report to the county welfare or probation department every
known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect reported to it which is alleged to have occurred as a result of the action of a
person responsible for the child's welfare, or as the result of the failure of a person responsible for the child's welfare to adequately
protect the minor from abuse when the person responsible for the child's welfare knew or reasonably should have known that the
minor was in danger of abuse. A law enforcement agency also shall send, fax, or electronically transmit a written report thereof
within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the incident to any agency to which it makes a telephone report under
this subdivision.
