Managers & Coaches

It is the goal of MYBL to provide a positive and instructive environment for all participants. As a Manager, the responsibility rests with you to teach sound baseball technique and sportsmanship and serve as a role model for all involved. The children and their parents will be watching you and the way that you carry yourself. It is essential that your conduct represent MYBL and yourself in the best possible way.

Code of Conduct

1. I will treat all children with respect, being positive and constructive at all times to all players. I will not use abusive language or actions and will control my anger at all times. I will Never shout at Team Players in anger.
2. I will conduct regular practices that will be used to teach sound fundamental skills while being fun for all involved. I will not leave the field until every player has been picked up after practice, or I will make certain an adult is present until every player is picked up.
3. I will continuously improve my baseball coaching skills by attending League-sponsored coaching clinics and/or utilizing outside sources.
4. I will promote sportsmanlike conduct, shaking hands with the opposing Coach after each game, encouraging my players to cheer positively and shake hands with the other team after each game. I will not tolerate negative cheering, trash-talking or displays of anger or disrespect by any player on my team.
5. I will treat all umpires with respect. If I have complaints, I will use the appropriate methods of appeal during the game avoiding confrontational behavior on the field. After the game I may go through the proper channels for resolution.
6. I will monitor the behavior of my team’s parents in the stands and will take action as necessary to assure proper conduct.
7. I will have registration/medical release forms and a first aid kit on hand whenever my team is together.
8. I will not seek to manipulate drafts, tryouts or MYBL rules to achieve an unfair advantage for my team.
9. In the event that a board member, commissioner, or manager is acting out of compliance with extreme disregard of the MYBL mission statement an executive board member may call for an immediate halt (RULE 9) to any operation (draft, All Star Manager or player selection, etc.). Once “RULE 9” has been enacted the immediate vote of the executive board will be called for. If the executive board unanimously (100%) agrees that said board member, commissioner, or manager acted in this manner, the operation (player draft, All Star Manager or Player selection, etc.) will be deemed null and void. The person shall immediately removed from their position and the operation will re-commence once that person has been replaced.

You are expected to adhere to this Code while you participate in the MYBL Program, governing your conduct by its guidelines in your day-to-day management of your Team. Violations of its articles will be subject to review by your Division Commissioner and/or the MYBL Board for appropriate corrective or disciplinary action.
