IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. SOME PLAYERS MAY BE A SUBSTITUTE ALL SEASON. IF YOU (AS A PARENT) THINK YOU WILL OBJECT TO YOUR CHILD BEING A SUB THEN YOU MUST DECIDE WHETHER YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO RETURN FOR THE SEASON.

2. A PLAYER WHO ALWAYS PLAYED THE INFIELD LAST YEAR MAY PLAY THE OUTFIELD AND VISE-VERSA. SOME PLAYERS MAY TRY ONE OR MORE POSITIONS DURING PRACTICES. BUT WHEN IT’S A GAME, PLAYERS WILL BE PUT INTO POSITIONS THAT I THINK WILL BENEFIT THE TEAM.

3. RAINED OUT PRACTICES: I WILL CALL EVERYONE UP TO 1 HOUR BEFORE PRACTICE STARTS.

4. RAINED OUT GAMES: CALL THE LEAGUE UP TO 1/2 HOUR TO SEE IF THERE ARE GAMES. WHEN I FIND OUT, I WILL TEXT/CALL EVERYONE.

1. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD ALONE DURING PRACTICES OR GAMES UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ADULT, WHOM YOU CAN TRUST, WITH YOUR CHILD IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

2. BECAUSE PRACTICES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, ANY PLAYER WHO MISSES FOUR OR MORE PRACTICES IN A MONTH MAY BE BENCHED A GAME .YOU SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GET YOUR CHILD TO ALL OF OUR PRACTICES. PLEASE BE ON TIME FOR PRACTICES.

3. I DO NOT TOLERATE MISCONDUCT, POOR SPORTSMANSHIP, OR HARASSING OF OTHER PLAYERS. ANY PLAYER OR PARENT FOUND CONDUCTING THEMSELVES IN THIS MANNER WILL BE WARNED, BENCHED OR THROWN OFF THE TEAM IF SERIOUS ENOUGH.

4. ALL PLAYERS MUST BE AT THE FIELD A HALF HOUR BEFORE GAME TIME. ANY PLAYER ARRIVING CLOSE TO GAME TIME MAY BE A SUBSTITUTE (PLAYING TWO INNINGS ONLY). ANY PLAYER ARRIVING AFTER GAME TIME WILL BE A SUBSTITUTE (PLAYING TWO INNINGS ONLY). IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT OR ARE GOING TO BE LATE PLEASE CALL ME A.S.A.P.

5. PARENTS/GUARDIANS ARE NOT TO YELL ANY COMMENTS TO THE UMPIRES. IF I THINK A CALL FROM THE UMPIRE SHOULD BE APPEALED I WILL TALK TO THE UMPIRES. IF A PARENT/GUARDIAN IS VERBALLY ABUSIVE TO ANY UMPIRE, COACH OR ANOTHER PARENT YOU AND YOUR CHILD WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE FIELD. WE ALL KNOW PROFESSIONAL UMPIRES MAKE SOME MISTAKES, JUST AS OURS WILL. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF; AND NOT LIKING A CALL ISN’T A GOOD REASON FOR AN APPEAL. IT MUST BE AN OBVIOUS WRONG CALL.
