Respect the people who are volunteering their time
We have added new education opportunities for umpires.
Umpires- they are kids who are learning. Verbal insults will not be tolerated. You will be asked to leave.
Please be Respectful
For the kids. Its more than winning a game
Let the coaches coach
Enjoy watching your child’s game
Do not heckle the players, umpires or coaches
Be adults!!! Please remember you are setting examples for the children around you
Vikki

11. Support your team
Easiest way to do this is to support your coach and reinforce their rules
Be on time for practices and attendance
Be on time game day and attendance
Some coaches may require players to be early for games, support their rules as much as possible (Ask for help)
Volunteer Opportunities – ASK!!
COMMUNICATION!!!!!
Offer Help (background check required)
Vikki

12. Mandatory PLay
Every player who shows up for a game is required to bat once and have 6 consecutive outs on the field.( Pg.41, reg 4: Players, Rule Book)
Only exception to this rule is during tournament and there are 13 players or more on a team, then only 1 bat is required and no field play is required
That being said, please make sure your player is at practices. (coaches and team parents will help get them there if you need help, just ask)
Coaches reserve the right to use non-play as a discipline measure but will inform parents prior to game. Player will still need to be present to support their team (coach will notify board prior to game)
Vikki
