Parents are to get their children to practices and games on time. The players should be dressed and ready to go 1/2 hour before games and 10 minutes before practices.
-
Parents should practice with their children. This is crucial on developing their child to becoming a better ball player. One or two practices a week are a good foundation to becoming a better player, but it is not enough! So get out in the yard and throw with them on a daily basis.
-
If there is a complaint or a problem, please go to the head coach in private. Talking with other parents or saying something negative about the coach will create more problems and the coach will lose their credibility with the players and parents.
-
Do not yell at the umpires or the other team. Let the coach deal with the umpires. Cheer for your child and their team only. Let’s show everyone that your team and their parents have CLASS...
-
Coach your child in the same way as their coaches. If you do not believe in the teaching methods of the coaches, confront them about it and come to some conclusion. It is important to keep continuity with the coaches because you want to reinforce the mechanics and style that the coaches are teaching so your child will build the proper muscle memory. If your teaching something different it will confuse the player.
-
Educate yourself about the game!! Read books, go to practice, ask questions, get involved, do anything that you can to make the experience positive for your child.
-
Get your child the proper equipment to play the game. Don’t send them in tennis shoes to play baseball or softball.
-
When the coaches are talking, please do not talk with your child. This is an interruption to the rest of the team and with your cooperation it will make it much easier to communicate with the team.
If your child is going to be late or is going to miss a game, call the coach at least 24 hours ahead of time. If you are going on vacation, please give 2 weeks notice if possible.
-
Please keep younger children away from the field for safety reasons.
