• Never yell at or speak negatively to an opposing coach, parent or player.

• Never yell at, criticize or even offer advice to an umpire (even in a polite manner). Comments should be directed to your coach or a league administrator.

• Do keep your coach informed about absences or late arrivals that can’t be avoided.


• Do remain off the field and out of the dugout unless you are serving in an official capacity.


• Do help the coach or team parent out by volunteering for team duties. Make sure you are doing your fair share.


• If you are not satisfied with an aspect of your child’s experience, talk to the coach about it at a time he/she can listen. Generally, this is not immediately before or after a game.
