GAME RULES

Games are a time to compare our teams skill against another team. Games are not a time to develop your skills.
RULES:

1. Be on the field ready to begin pre-game warm-ups 1 hour before the scheduled starting time.  e.g., pre-game warm-ups will start at 5:00 p.m. for a scheduled 6:00 p.m. game. Ready To Begin:
   • Have your hair Afixed@ before you arrive at the field.
   • Have your uniform on (shirts tucked in) before you arrive at the field.
2. Hustle in and out of the dugout between inning.
   • If a teammate is up to bat or on the bases, have their mitt/hat ready to go. If the third out occurs the offensive players should not have to return to the dugout for this equipment.
3. If you are a substitute you must stay mentally into the game.
   • Cheer for your teammates.
   • Warm-up the outfielders.
   • Let the defense know when a player is stealing.
   • Be ready to go in in any situation.
4. Let the coaches complain about the umpires calls.
   • If a player disputes a call they will be taken out of the game.
   • As a player you do not have time to worry about a call. You must be 100% focused on the next pitch, throw, or defensive play.
5. Stay in the dugout. You may only leave the dugout with the permission of a coach.
6. No food is allowed in the dugout.
7. The only acceptable attitude is a positive one.
   • Cheer for your teammates.
8. No coaching from the stands. Only positive comments will be made to players. Both Sides.
9. If you are injured or feel ill, let your coach know so a substitute player can be put in.
10. Parents are encouraged to help prepare the field before games and help put bases and equipment away following a game.
11. Following the end of the game, help clear all the equipment from the dugout. A short Coach/Player meeting will be held following every game.
