2023 CODE OF CONDUCT

It is the intention of Angel City Derby to achieve a level of behavior which reflects its commitment to civility and appropriate conduct.  This requires a commitment from each of its members.

Angel City Derby believes in community-minded thoughtful conflict resolution. The violation of the Code of Conduct may require leadership to seek resolution with members, who are asked to participate in good faith. ACD’s goal is to lead with a restorative justice approach. However, some violations of the Code of Conduct may indicate that a member is not a good fit for the community we intend to maintain, and warrant the member’s temporary suspension or removal from the league.
