Parents' Code of Ethics

Parents/Guardians are an important part of ensuring the children have a positive and enjoyable experience with our program. As a parent/guardian, you have the responsibility to encourage players and support what the coaches teach: sportsmanship, leadership and baseball skills. The children will see you and the way you react to all situations; it is imperative that you conduct represents yourself and RLL in the best possible way.

As a RLL Parent/Guardian, I agree to the following Code of Conduct for myself and my guests:

• I will treat all participants with respect, being positive and constructive at all times to players, coaches and other spectators.
• I will treat all umpires with respect, recognizing that baseball rules involve judgment. I will not openly criticize the umpires or participants during the course of the game.
• I will not use abusive or profane language or gestures, and will control my anger at all times.
• I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for the youth, not adults.
• If I have concerns about players, coaches, umpires, fields or any other aspect of RLL, I will direct them to the appropriate League Official, away from the field.
• I will support my child’s commitment to the team by assuring his/her attendance at practices and games. I will notify the coach if my child is unable to attend a practice or game.
• I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
• I will not use tobacco products or consume alcoholic beverages at any RLL field event.
