SUNNYBRAE LITTLE LEAGUE: SLL Code of Conduct

Players, Parents, Umpires, Coaches and Managers must work together to promote safety and sportsmanship.  

The success of Sunnybrae Little League is NOT determined by a single play, the final score or the end of season win/loss record.  The success of Sunnybrae Little League is built on positive instruction, teaching proper fundamentals and maintaining sportsmanship through competition.  This will provide a foundation our children can take with them for the rest of their lifetime.
