Playing Time
Coaches determine playing time and positions. There is NO - guarantee of innings or positions of players. Never ask about playing time during or directly after a game. If your child's playtime becomes an issue then please address the president of the association after a 24-hour time window has passed, not at a field or at games or practice. Please understand that by doing this you may be honestly told what your son/daughter needs to work on and improve to get more play time. Any parent yelling at coaches, umpires or pulling a player off the field during a game will result in expulsion from the academy. Parents must let the coaching staff do their job and coach the kids. During a game, the parents MUST refrain from coming over to the dugout, or screaming out onto the field, to inform their son or another player what they should have done in a given situation. The coaching staff will ensure that your son is informed of his in-game performance, both the positive and negative aspects.
All players must sit in the dugout with their teammates at all times during a game and between double headers. At no time shall they sit in the bleachers with their family members. This is required to promote team unity.
Parents and other family members of a player are not allowed in the dugout at any time during a game. Parents and family members must not congregate behind the dugout area. If a parent or family member decides to bring his or her own seating, please do not set it up directly behind the dugout. Please supply your child with drinks and whatever else they may need for the game, in order to allow them to focus on the game.
All players are required to be in full uniform for the games. All players must supply their own socks, belt, white baseball pants and grey baseball pants.
