Impact Baseball Parents Code of Conduct

1. I commit to making sure my son arrives to games and practices on time. This means often arriving 15 to 60 minutes early so that my son has enough time to get situated prior to joining our practice or pre-game preparations.

2. I will be sure that my son is properly equipped, sun-protected, hydrated and fueled for practices and games. This includes proper uniforms, gloves, bags and meals.

3. I will show respect for the umpires. They will often make the wrong call, but the job of the umpire is not an easy one. Voicing my displeasure will not improve the situation.

4. I will stay away from the dugout during games and allow coaches to coach. While this is not easy, I know that providing potentially conflicting messages during a game can be confusing to my son and my presence at the dugout may contribute negatively to his ability to focus.

5. I will be a role model for my son regarding good sportsmanship, teamwork and self worth. These things start with the adults, and the players will behave accordingly. We will take pride in how we carry ourselves and treat others.

6. I am responsible for the behavior of all family members at games and practices. Others may attend games to cheer on my son, and I need to be sure that they also handle themselves according to these rules.

7. I will provide encouragement and support for my son. My son needs to hear my positive encouragement throughout the game.

8. I will provide encouragement and support for all players on the team. As a team, it’s important to provide the same support for my son’s teammates. We’re in this together!

9. I will respect the opposing team, coaches and fans. They are the same as us in many ways, but they simply wear different uniforms. Appreciation for their performance and respect for their abilities will contribute to a positive game environment.

10. I understand that winning is important to the team, but the primary objective is promoting an environment of growth and learning. They will win. They will lose. They will make mistakes. One of the most important things will be what they learn from success and failure.

11. I will get to know the team values and reinforce them with my son. I will read through those expectations with my son and serve as a reminder when they aren’t being met.

12. I will support the coach’s message. While I will not agree with the coach at all times, I also understand that contradicting the coach’s message is counterproductive.

13. I will help my son embrace his role, no matter what it is. I may not agree with where my son hits or plays in the field, but it is important that I help my son embrace and master that role for the best possible experience.

14. I will help nurture a positive environment on and off the field. I will do my best to keep a positive tone as I realize my reactions impact the team.

15. I will refrain from public complaints about coaching and other players with parents. While I will not always agree with how the team is being coached, I know that these reactions do not help.

16. **ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES** ARE PROHIBITED AT OUR GAMES AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY CONSUMPTION THAT MAY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CLEAR JUDGMENT, INCITE POOR BEHAVIOR, EMBARRASS MYSELF OR SET A BAD EXAMPLE FOR OUR PLAYERS, FANS, OFFICIALS, LEAGUE, COMMUNITY AND SPONSORS WE REPRESENT OR THE OPPOSING TEAM AND THEIR FANS.
