“PLAYING THE GAME THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE PLAYED!”

•  Have FUN!
•  Hustle! (Seven second “in & out rule!)
• Our fall league is centered around having fun and player development and NOT competition.  We will keep score, but winning games isn’t the priority!
•  T-shirts tucked in and hats on the right way!
• Each player will have two t-shirts.  The home team (listed first on the schedule) will wear the white jersey and take the first base dugout.
•  No arguing with umpires, coaches, or players!
•   No use of tobacco products!
•   No throwing gloves, bats, or helmets!
