SAFETY & CONDUCT

• All catchers must wear a helmet, mask, shin guards, chest protector, and cup (heart guard padded undershirt also strongly recommended).  *Note: Catching is not introduced until the Rookie level.

• Bambino use “soft” safety balls only.
  

• All batters, base runners, and “on-deck” batter(s) practicing, in the field of play, or warming up, must wear helmets. If the child has a bat in their hands, they must have a helmet on. During games, only one on deck batter should have a bat in their hands.
  

• Metal cleats are not permitted. Rubber cleats are optional.

• No sunglasses are allowed unless prescription and properly secured. Sport goggles are recommended.
  

• Jewelry is not permitted.
  
  
• All players must remain on the bench, except “on-deck” batter(s) or as otherwise directed by a coach.
  

• It is recommended that coaches and/or assistant coaches attend any league sponsored coaching clinics.

• Any coach or player using profanity will be ejected from the game and face possible suspension.

• Yelling and raising your voice is not an effective teaching technique. Coaches who yell excessively at children will be warned and potentially removed from the game and face possible suspension.

• Try to live by the 5:1 rule of positive comments to constructive points.
  

• It is the responsibility of each coach to have the team clean up the field, dugout, and bench area after each practice or game.
  

• Player pitchers should stand no more than 6 feet in front of the mound for their safety. 
  

• A parent or designated guardian must be present at all sessions for Bambino, Mantles & Rookies levels.
