Umpire Evaluations

Cheif Umpire, Mark Perry, would like to constantly improve the skills of all of our umpires.  After each game, please click the link below and fill out the annonymous umpire survey for each umpire in the game. Mark will not see who the evaluation came from, but will be able to use the summary statistics on each umpire to help them improve their skills.

Accident Reporting Procedures

An incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpire or other individual to receive medical attention must be reported the the league Safety Officer. Mike Torre.  This includes even passive treatment confined to the evaluation of an injury or a suspected head injury.  If you have an injury on the field, follow the procedure outlined in this document.

 Games are won at practice!

Keeping in the coaching spirit of this month’s Newsletter, we want to emphasize an important point. By preparing your players properly at practice, you will without doubt win your share of games. There is very little magic a baseball coach has at his disposal during a game; no special plays, no tricks and no assured influences. No special pre-game pep talks will influence the outcome of a game. No rah-rah stuff.
