Manager and Coach Code of Conduct

As a manager or coach of a EVLL team, you hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for each child participating in EVLL by following this Code of Conduct:

• I will remember that EVLL baseball is for children and not for adults.
• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all children, managers, and coaches (including those of an opposing team). This applies to every game, practice, or any other EVLL event
• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all umpires, league officials and parents at every game or event.
• I will place the emotional and physical well being of all children on all teams ahead of any personal desire to win.
• I will ask my players to treat all other players, coaches, umpires, league officials, and parents with respect.
• I promise to help my players enjoy EVLL by being respectful to all players, coaches, umpires league officials, and parents.
• I will insist that my players are in a safe and healthy environment.
• I will demand a drug, alcohol, and tobacco-free sports environment for my players and agree to assist by refraining from their use at all EVLL games, practices and events.
• I will do all I can to make the game fun and safe for all the children involved in EVLL.
• I understand that EVLL is a volunteer organization that requires all parents to participate in activities, such as field preparation, umpiring, snack-bar duty, and scorekeeping. I therefore agree to enlist the support of all the parents of my players in this effort.
• I agree to be trained in the responsibilities of being a EVLL Manager or Coach, including attending all manager meetings and training clinics.

·        Violators of any of the rules above are subject to having their actions (or lack thereof) reviewed by the EVLL Board of Directors. Any individual with multiple violations is subject to removal from EVLL.
