PHILOSOPHY
The Youth Sports Commission (YSC) is open to all organizations providing athletic
opportunities to the youth of Newport Beach. All organizations pledge to participate in the YSC
in a spirit of partnership and cooperation; cooperating and communicating with each other and
City staff in a timely and respectful manner; practicing good sportsmanship; and agreeing to
follow all City Council and YSC policies.
2. PURPOSE
It is the intent of the City of Newport Beach Recreation & Senior Services Department to
allocate field use to qualified athletic teams and organizations on the basis of fairness and
impartiality. This document sets forth the policy for the City to prioritize and allocate all available
fields under its ownership and/or control, in concurrence with the seasonal priorities (Section 4)
and residential percentage priorities (Section 8).
It is necessary to formulate this policy for the following reasons:
• User groups need a procedure to secure fields for the planning of games, practices,
and/or events.
• The demand for field usage exceeds the City's ability to permit unlimited and/or
unscheduled use by all participants.
• Maintenance and renovation must be scheduled and implemented to maintain the
community's high standards of aesthetics and sustain the playability of the City's
facilities.
• Allocating field space to qualified organizations assists the City in the fulfillment of the
Charter to plan, coordinate and direct community recreational activities.
3. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH: CODE OF CONDUCT
In addition to each organization's individual code of conduct, all players, coaches,
volunteers, and parents are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times while
participating, being a spectator, or attending YSC Member activities co-sponsored by the City of
Newport Beach Recreation & Senior Services Department. The following guidelines are
designed to provide safe and enjoyable activities for all participants:
• Be respectful to all field users and City staff.
• Take direction from City staff, including Park Patrol and Park Maintenance Staff.
• Refrain from using abusive or foul language.
• Refrain from causing bodily harm to self, other field users, or City staff/supervisors.
• Refrain from damaging City equipment, supplies, fields and facilities.
• Refrain from harassment of City staff and field users.
Failure to follow these rules may result in denial of program participation privileges. The
City of Newport Beach Recreation & Senior Services Department strives to make your
participation fun -filled, rewarding, educational and safe. Thank you for your cooperation.

allocation for the remainder of the season.

Field Allocation and Use Policy
This document sets forth the procedure for the City of Newport Beach (City) to facilitate the
allocation of all available fields or gymnasiums under its ownership and/or allocation control.
It is necessary to formulate this procedure for the following reasons:
A. User groups need a procedure to secure fields or gymnasiums for the planning of games,
practices, and/or events.

and/or unscheduled use by all participants.
C. Maintenance and renovation must be scheduled and implemented to maintain the
community's high standards of aesthetics and sustain the playability of the City s facilities.
D. Allocating field or gymnasium space to qualified organizations assists the City in the
fulfillment of the Charter to plan, coordinate and direct community recreational activities.

Each league must present official league enrollment data from their previous season indicating
names, addresses, phone numbers, and birth dates of all participants, with their application.
The number of the City residents within each organization enrollment must be determined and
confirmed by the City prior to the field allocation meeting.
OWOMZW• •
A. City staff will review all the applications and allocate fields equitably based on the priorities
listed in this policy and encourage optimum cooperation between all user groups. Field

be as follows:
• 70% of the available fields for primary priority season (City and YSC member
organizations)
• 15% of the available fields for secondary priority season activities of YSC member
organizations
+ 10 % of available fields for allocations to groups in lower user classifications (E -I)
5% of the available fields are not allocated and used for maintenance rotation,
community use and other items not anticipated on an as needed basis. These fields
will be reallocated to qualifying organizations as they become available based on the

field count as determined by the field allocation formula (Section V — Allocation).
VI. NOTICE OF NON-USE OF FIELDS
Any user organization that has been allocated space and does not intend to use it on a regular
basis must notify the City so that the field may be re -allocated or otherwise used. Failure to
do so can result in forfeiture of all fields for the remainder of the season. Notice of non-use
must be received by March i for spring and September x for fall so the field can be
reallocated. Unless written notice is received, users will be billed for all allocations. All fields
that are turned back in to the City for reasons of non-use by an organization will be allocated
to the remaining qualified organizations based on the allocation formula.
Any user group with documented non-use of an allocated field for two consecutive weeks
after Labor Day in the fall and after March 1 in the spring will lose that allocation for the
remainder of the season. Exceptions to this policy are made only with prior notification to
Recreation staff regarding special circumstances. It is City Policy that user organizations
turn in unused fields for reallocation.
VII. NOTICE OF EXCHANGE OF FIELDS
An organization cannot forfeit or exchange its allocation or any part thereof, with another
organization without written approval of the City. Any such modification desired must be
filed with the City and verified in writing by all parties wishing to exchange allocation. This
allows for accurate billing of use and an accurate record of exchange for tracking purposes.

lose their entire allocation as a result.
