Parent/Guardian Responsibilities
The parent or guardian of each player will be responsible for the condition (except normal wear and tear) and return of the issued uniform. Caps need not be returned. Failure to return a complete and laundered uniform will result in the responsible parent or guardian being issued a bill for the replacement cost at the current rate. Consult your team manager for the uniform return date. |
Voluntary Nature Of The League The Newtown-Edgmont Little League is your league and is governed 100% by volunteers. A voluntary contribution of a few hours of your time reduces the need to pay for services necessary to uphold the quality of your league. Please help and be involved in the League's activities wherever possible. Each team will be assigned a Team Father and Team Mother whose responsibility is to act as a liaison between the Team Manager and the other parents of that team to coordinate parental involvement in maintaining our facilities, staffing the refreshment stand, and other activities. Maintenance of our fields, facilities and equipment is the responsibility of each and every parent.

The Newtown-Edgmont Little League has, for the benefit of each registered player's family, purchased supplemental insurance which provides coverage in addition to, or in lieu of, accident and health insurance that parents or guardians would normally carry for family protection. Only claims directly related to Little League activity are valid and should be promptly reported to the League Safety Director by mail at the above address. The parent or guardian will be responsible, if requested, to supply medical certification of the player's ability to participate in this program.
The parent or guardian is responsible for the transportation of that player to and from all scheduled activities. The liabilities of the Newtown-Edgmont Little League for the safety and welfare of each player is terminated 15 minutes after their scheduled activity. Please make arrangements for the player to be delivered and picked up within that time frame. The Newtown-Edgmont Little League and any volunteers will be held harmless of any incidents arising out of transportation requirements to, during and from any scheduled league activity.
Please advise your Player's Team Manager as soon as possible of any Non-Attendance Situation such as illness, vacation, or family activity that conflicts with the league schedule of games or practices. Non-attendance at practices may result in disallowing participation in a scheduled game.
We ask each Father to participate in at least two (2) Mandatory scheduled Field Maintenance Sundays. If you are unable to participate on the scheduled day, please schedule an alternate date with your team's manager. Field Maintenance includes everything from raking fields to any major improvements that are needed. There is always enough work for everyone.
We ask each Mother to volunteer to help in our refreshment stand at least twice during the regular season. Responsibilities in the refreshment stand range from helping sell hot-dogs and hamburgers to water ice and candy. Volunteers may be needed post season, any additional assistance would be appreciated.
