Our team rules are simple:

1) You must have fun.  This is the main reason all children should be playing sports.  If the game becomes a chore, there is no good reason to play.

2) Respect must be shown for all (this includes your teammates and opponents, your coaches and opponents coaches, umpires, spectators, and anyone else). Arguing with the umpire or anyone else will not be tolerated.  It is the coaches job to discuss calls with the umpire, period.

3) Profanity (cursing) of any kind will not be tolerated.

4) Punctuality is key.  Showing up 10 minutes before the game and expecting to play will make you one disappointed player.

5) Keep your head in the game.  Do not become down on yourself or others.  You will strikeout and make errors.  Pitchers will walk batters, give up hits, and occasionally hit a batter. This is part of the game.  A good player does not get down on himself or cry when he makes a mistake.  The best way to deal with a mistake is to learn from it and turn it into a positive the next time around.

6) Crying -  unless you are injured, the tears should not come out.  Again, see #5.

7) Team Play - THERE IS NO I IN TEAM (I am sure you have seen this 10 million times, but it pretty much sums it up)

8) Follow your coaches instructions. If a coach gives you a sign, it is for a reason.  The best way to land on the bench is to deliberately ignore a sign.

9) Dedication - if there is some reason you will miss a game, please give us ample time to prepare for this. Practices are mandatory unless otherwise noted.  Playing time will be affected by attendance.

We are here to Have Fun, Grow as players, as people, and as a team,

and to Win Games....

Thank You.
