SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT
In order to ensure that the principles of sportsmanship, fair play, skill development, and mutual
respect among players, managers, coaches, umpires and spectators are the primary
considerations governing competition in the Babe Ruth League, the following Code of Conduct
has been established and adopted.
Each team is responsible to see that their managers, coaches, players, and spectators abide by
the respective CODE of CONDUCT.
Each spectator will ensure that his/her conduct at all games and practices is that of a mature
adult with the best interests of every ball player and the Babe Ruth League, continually
expressed. To satisfactorily meet these responsibilities, every spectator is expected to:
1.Respect the rules of the game.
2.Respect the umpires, managers, coaches and players and refrain from quesƟoning their
decisions or from addressing them in a loud, disrespectful, or abusive manner.
3.Cheer for their team in a posiƟve, supporƟve manner, always refraining from making hosƟle,
negative, or abusive remarks about the opposing team.
4.Adhere to all pracƟce/game facility rules and regulaƟons.
5.Demonstrate appropriate gestures of sportsmanship at the conclusion of a game, win or
lose.
6.Realize, accept, and pracƟce the principle that a team?s reputaƟon is built not only on its
playing ability, but also on the sportsmanship, courtesy, and citizenship of its fans.
7.Alcohol, illegal drugs, and unauthorized prescripƟon drugs shall not be possessed, consumed
or distributed before, during or after any game or at any other time at the field and/or game
complex.
Violation of any of the above responsibilities BY A SPECTATOR will result in immediate removal
from the event. Violation of any of the above responsibilities BY A COACH OR VOLUNTEER will
result in immediate removal from the event and may result in the suspension of your privilege
to coach or participate in Southport Youth Sports Association sanctioned events for the
remainder of the current season, and the next full season. By signing, I also agree to be added
to the mailing list to receive important updates regarding Southport Youth Sports Association
