Constitution and Bylaws
Rules of incorporation or a constitution provide associations and clubs with a document outlining their objectives, structure and responsibilities.
Following the development of your constitution, you should also develop a set of by-laws that provide more detail on sections of the constitution.
Further information & templates
By-Laws (sometimes called regulations) are more easily adjusted and have a more operational tone to them. This is where you can include more detail of the policies and procedures that underpin the constitution.
Typically, by-laws might deal with matters, such as, uniforms and dress codes, competition rules, fixtures, player eligibility, club colours, awards, code of conduct and tribunals. Your association by-laws should clearly outline the requirements of all clubs, teams and individuals (as members of the association or club) along with the penalties for any breaches of the by-laws.
