Zero Tolerance Rules

 

DISCIPLINE

Any individual (player, coach, or manager)  who is a discipline problem, who throws their hat, helmet, bat, ball, or glove in anger or who uses foul language will be removed from the game.  The player’s coach, umpire or Board of Directors member may enforce this rule.

Any mischievous behavior or conduct on the bench will also result in removal from the game.  Examples include:

bulletPlayers will direct all cheering towards their own teammates and shall refrain from taunting, criticizing or jeering at opposing players. Violation of this rule will result in a warning to the manager followed by ejection from the game.
 
bulletCursing or fighting is cause for immediate ejection from the game, and repeated offenses will result in player(s) or coach(s), manager(s) being barred from participating in future games or practices.

SUSPENSION RULES

Coach

Coaches shall have the authority to temporarily suspend a player on his/her team from activity for a period not to exceed beyond the next game, when in the coach’s view a player's conduct during a team activity warrants such action. The coach will immediately report such action in writing to a Board of Directors member.

 

Umpire

The game umpire shall report to a Board of Directors member within twenty-four hours after the game the reason(s) for the removal of a player from the game.

 

Board of Directors

When a board member has been informed that a player was removed from a game,  he/she may require such a player to appear before the Board of Directors for an explanation. The player's coach shall appear to supply additional information. The Board of Directors shall impose such penalty as they feel is warranted.

Control of Team

Coaches are responsible for the conduct of their players, parents, and assistant coaches.  If, at the request of the umpire, a coach refuses to exercise control of players, parents, and assistant coaches, the coach may be removed from the playing field along with any and all offending spectators and/or players.
