1. Being a coach means being reasonable. Players develop at different rates.
2. Teach your players to play by the rules, just as you play by the rules.
3. Be constructive in your criticism, followed always by praise for things done right.
4. Give every player the same chance. Little League is not about the elite player, it's about getting everyone involved as a part of a team.
5. Treat the umpire the way you expect your players to treat you. With Respect.
6. Striving to win in not a sin. Striving to win every time, at all costs, means your players are not getting enough different opportunities. Everyone should play both infield and outfield.
7. Give your voice a rest when the game is on. Use it only to encourage and discuss the mistakes quietly after the game.
8. Have fun. You are a volunteer coach, in a volunteer organization, and if it isn't fun it isn't Little League.
9. If you win, have ice cream. If you lose, have ice cream. If you treat winning and losing the same, you will teach your team a much more valuable lesson.
10. The center of attention should be the players - not the adults. A coach cannot accomplish anything if the players aren't there.

The Parents Code Of Conduct

1. I will never force my child to play. I will encourage them to participate in athletics.
2. I will remember that my child is playing for his or her enjoyment, not mine.
3. I will encourage playing by the rules, even when others are not.
4. I don't want the coach to single out my child for criticism in front of others. So, I will not raise my concerns about the coach in front of others. I will speak to the coach privately and with best intentions.
5. The bleachers are for positive things. I will applaud good plays form either team, and I will never yell at any player for making a mistake.
6. I will encourage my child to improve his or her skills.
7. I will enourage my child to try all positions, and I will help him or her understand that all the players deserve to try all positions. If all nine positions were not important, they wouldn't be part of the game.
8. I recognize that batting is the toughest of all talents to master.
9. I will practice with my child away from the park. I understand that this game is a difficult one to learn to do well, and the coach simply cannot do it all.
10. I will offer my help to the coach, and to the team.
11. I promise that I will eat ice cream if the team wins. I promise to eat ice cream if the team loses. Treating those impostors the same is the greatest lesson you can teach your child.
12. If I have never umpired a game, I understand that I have not right to criticize from the bleachers, or the dugout.
13. I will smile when my child wants to leave for the park early.
