“A successful athletic program is evaluated not in terms of victory or defeat, but in light of the degree that each athlete becomes a better person.”
As the parents, coaches and role models we ask that you:
• Encourage fairness, compassion, truth and cooperation through recreational activities
• Encourage and challenge our youth to participate and serve those needier in their community
• Encourage a respect for authority
• Encourage self-control in the face of adversity
• Encourage the growth of each competitor as a player and avoid a “win at all cost” attitude
• Encourage a lack of tolerance of prejudice in any form
For Coaches and Parents:
· No arguing with umpires over judgement calls
· Treat the players on both teams with respect
· Focus on positive reinforcement and lead by example
For Players:
· Be a good teammate and respect each others abilities and contributions
· No arguing with umpires, coaches or other players
· No inappropriate display of anger (no throwing bats or helmets)
· No taunting the other players or chanting when the pitcher is in motion
· Line up to greet the opposing players after each game, win or lose
