Player's Code of Conduct
It is the goal of Stateline Youth Athletics to provide
a positive and instructive environment for all participants. As a player, the
responsibility rests with you to be willing to learn, play hard, and be committed
to your team for the entire season. You should attend practices regularly and be
present at all games. It should be understood that any player that misses a game
without notifying his/her coach could be asked to sit out part of the next game. Baseball/Softball is a team sport and each player is an important component in the
success of the team. Player's adherence to this code will promote fair play,
discipline, and sportsmanship for the good of SYA.
As a PLAYER of Stateline Youth Athletics, I agree
to the following Code of Conduct:
- I will have respect for the equipment. When at bat, I will always wear my
helmet and will not remove it until I return to the dugout. As a catcher, I
will always wear the proper equipment as provided and recommended by the
league.
- I will always wear the proper uniform in the proper way.
- I will not allow myself to display anger directed at an opposing player,
coach, umpire, teammate, or myself. I understand that I will be ejected from
the game for this type of behavior.
- I understand that if I intentionally throw my bat, helmet, glove, or any
piece of equipment that I will be subject to ejection from the game at the
discretion of the umpire.
- I will try to be responsible while at bat and not throw my bat
unintentionally. If I do, in most cases a warning will be issued. Any
subsequent offense will result in an out or ejection at the discretion of
the umpire.
- I will play hard but in a safe and responsible manner. I will not
intentionally endanger another player in any way.
- I will not use abusive language or participate in any form of trash talk
or negative cheering. I will promote sportsmanlike conduct, encouraging my
team members to cheer positively, and shake hands with the opposing players
after each game.
LET'S PLAY BALL!!
