What CNBLL expects from players!
** To be on time for all practices and games
** To always do their best, whether in the field at any position and especially on the bench
** To be cooperative at all times and share team duties
** To respect not only others, but themselves as well
** To be positive with teammates at all times
** To try not to become upset at their own mistakes or those of others, we will all make our share this year and we must support one another
** To always respect the umpires call

What CNBLL expects from parents and family!
** To come out and enjoy the game. Cheer to make ALL players feel important
** To allow coaches to coach and run the team
** To try not to question the coaches leadership
** To only be positive with coaches, the players and the umpires. (We are all responsible for setting examples for our children. We must be the role models in society today. If we eliminate negative comments, the children will have an opportunity to play with out any unnecessary pressures and will learn the value of sportsmanship.)
** If you wish to question the coaches strategies or leadership, please do not do so in front of the players or fans. Coaches phone numbers are available for you to call at any time if you have a concern. It will also be available if you wish to offer your services at practice. A helping hand is always welcome. (Anyone entering the playing field must complete a volunteer form which includes a background check)
** Finally, don't expect the majority of children playing little league baseball to have strong skills. We hear all our lives that we learn from our mistakes. Let's allow them to make their mistakes, but always be there with positive support to lift their spirits!
