GAMES
Parents should not use foul or abusive
language toward any Coach, Player, or Spectator. Parents’ conduct
should be conduct that you would want your child or other children to
model. Please remember this in your tone, your words and your
actions. Youngsters are watching you and will be influenced by your
behavior.

PLAYERS
Your player has registered to play
TeeBall. Playing a sport requires practice, conditioning and
perseverance. Playing a team sport requires having team members present
at practice to be conditioned, evaluated and trained for positions. It
is important for a team sport to have all members present for practice.
Players may have limited playing time if they do not adequately attend and
participate in practices. Recreation league rules dictate that
every player will be given the opportunity to play.
Scores are not recorded for teeball play. Games are four (4) innings. Each
player must play a minimum of two (2) innings.
Players/parents need to let coaches know as soon as possible if they will not
be able to play in a game. This will allow coach adequate time to
revise team strategy. A coach may limit playing time for missed practices
and games.
Teeball will use the continuous batting order, and acknowledge three (3)
outs.

CONCERNS
If as a parent you have questions or
concerns please be courteous and professional. Periods prior to
practices or games are not appropriate times to discuss problems you may have
with you players’ baseball experience. Coaches should be focusing
attention on practice and or the game. We suggest either a telephone
call, email or arrange a time to meet/discuss concerns at a mutually convenient
time. Please speak with your coach first. Follow the chain
of command. If you still have concerns then bring them to the attention
of the Athletic Superintendent, Jeff Middlebrooks. Submit concerns in
writing to him. He will review, make recommendations and respond.
If after this course of action, your concerns have not been sufficiently
addressed, then present your written concerns to Director, Mindy
Daniel. She will review and respond. If in the event
concerns are still present, you may take item before Recreation
Commission. Must follow procedure to be placed on Commission agenda of
submitting in writing request to be placed on the agenda at least 5 working
days prior to regular Commission meeting.
