Membership Director Update from Jens Velasquez

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Lisa Hunrichs

Posted by Jens Velasquez, FPA Membership Director
My role and responsibilities as Membership Director involves all aspects of maintaining the database with member info for 2015.

One initiative I will be working on this year is to increase FPA membership by running Speed Flow workshops and contests at Frisbee events throughout the year beginning with the 39th Virginia State Championships in April. As a former Ultimate Player and Coach I also plan to introduce and conduct Speed Flow workshops and contests at Ultimate events as well.

My belief is that anyone who learns how to throw and catch a Frisbee with a level of confidence will continue do so the rest of their lives. Speed Flow is an easy game of throw and catch that anyone can learn and can also prove to be a natural gateway to Freestyle.

I look forward to meeting players at events this year and reporting on this blog.

At the Freestyle Players Association, we are dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive community for all freestyle players.

We are committed to fostering an environment that is free from harassment, assault, and discrimination by establishing principles to implement in our bylaws such as:

Safety: The safety and well-being of our athletes, members, and participants should be priorities. We are committed to implementing and enforcing safe sport policies that protect individuals from both physical and emotional harm.
Education and Awareness: We want to raise awareness in our community about the importance of respectful and inclusive behavior. Open dialogues to create a culture of mutual respect are encouraged.
Reporting Mechanisms: There will be clear and confidential reporting mechanisms for anyone who experiences or witnesses any misconduct. Reports will be taken seriously, and steps will be taken to address and resolve any issues just and impartially.
Accountability: We are committed to holding ourselves accountable for upholding these principles, and we will regularly review and update our safe sport policies to reflect the evolving needs of our community.

Our anti-discrimination team led by Char Powell is already working on implementing safe sport guidelines in Freestyle Frisbee. Any feedback about this topic is welcome and will be carefully considered!

By adopting these principles and implementing these safe sport policies and guidelines, the FPA aims to create an environment where all members can participate, compete, and enjoy freestyle sports free from fear, discrimination, and harassment.

We believe that this commitment will help us build a stronger, more inclusive freestyle community. The FPA is dedicated to making freestyle sports a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Together, we can make our community a positive example of respect, equity, and inclusivity in sport.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the FPA’s vision of safe sport for all.
