Social Media & Public Talk Policy
Effective for the full soccer year term (June 15, 2026 through June 14, 2027)[cite: 1]. This document defines the strict, constrictive parameters governing digital footprints, public statements, and brand asset protections binding all registered club members[cite: 1].
Platform Restraints & Content Prohibitions
Members are completely restricted from using any public digital space or social media framework to compromise the operational integrity of the club:
- ● Disparagement BanMembers are strictly prohibited from using social media platforms to disparage the Organization, its staff, coaches, volunteers, or other participants[cite: 1].
- ● Hostile InterferenceAny posting of content that creates a hostile environment or actively interferes with the Organization's mission is entirely forbidden[cite: 1].
- ● Non-Consensual RecordingThe publication of non-consensual recordings of organization staff, contractors, or youth participants is strictly prohibited across all channels[cite: 1].
- ● Likeness ProtectionsUnauthorized use of the Organization’s name, logo, or likeness for personal or commercial social media accounts is completely illegal[cite: 1].
Confidentiality of Operations & Public Talk
Information control parameters protect competitive advantages, branding continuity, and internal data security metrics:
- ● Internal Data RedactionMembers shall completely refrain from disseminating, publishing, or discussing confidential Organization info, internal protocols, strategic training methodologies, proprietary software usage, or private data with non-members or third-party groups[cite: 1].
- ● Agreement PrivacyDiscussing or publishing the specific contents of the membership agreement, its Exhibits, or associated internal communications on external forums constitutes an immediate violation[cite: 1].
- ● Mass Communication LimitsOnly designated Organization staff are authorized to issue public statements or "mass communications" regarding club programs, fee structures, or active policies[cite: 1].
- ● Unauthorized Public TalkAny unauthorized external disclosures, rumors, or "public talk" intended to undermine the Organization’s competitive standing or operational privacy represents a material breach[cite: 1].
Defamation & Reputational Vulnerabilities
The organization’s reputation is protected as a primary asset; bad-faith messaging is exposed to severe institutional and legal remedies:
- ● Libel & Slander ProhibitionsMembers must strictly refrain from engaging in any form of defamation, libel, or slander directed toward the Organization or its designated club representatives[cite: 1].
- ● False Assertion ProhibitionsThe dissemination of false factual assertions intended to disparage the standing, character, or reputation of Organization personnel, including employees and independent contractors, is outlawed[cite: 1].
- ● Civil Litigation ExposureAny digital action causing demonstrable reputational harm serves as a material breach, authorizing immediate membership termination and exposing the breaking Member directly to potential civil litigation for financial damages[cite: 1].
Contract Termination & Collective Liability
Social media violations, digital destruction of intangible property, or media-sourced threats directed at staff, volunteers, contractors, or guests will trigger immediate contract termination[cite: 1]. Because member units are bound collectively, a digital violation committed by an individual results in the dismissal of the entire unit and the immediate stripping of all member benefits without a refund[cite: 1].
