A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER

Dear Parents,

Please remember that our Parkchester Tee-Ball Baseball League is designed to teach our children how to play the game of baseball. Equally as important, we want our children to have fun while doing so. Therefore, at this tee-ball level, we DO NOT encourage a focus on winning. Please reflect on the following poem...

 In Little League, it is very important that we work together to create the best possible experience for players, managers and parents. Please see the "Expectations" below for a checklist of our responsibilities. We cannot be perfect in our approach, but we can make every effort to meet our own expectations and those of others directly involved in the Little League program.

Expectations of Parents

I will make every attempt to...
• Attend my child's games.
• Be a supportive parent for the manager of the team.
