Manager Pledge
All managers are requested to review the Pledge. Please understand that any violation of the Manager’s Pledge, as determined by the BBSA Officers and Commissioners, can result in suspension and/or dismissal from all coaching duties.
· I agree that proper communication between managers, parents and players is crucial to our success.
· I will attend all monthly meetings to assure proper communication is being carried out to players and parents. If I cannot attend, a coach will be there to represent our team.
· I will conduct the affairs of my assigned team in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of sportsmanship and fair play.
· I will be fair with our players and try to give equal playing time to all players so they may have a chance to learn and develop.
· I will have the fields ready to play at least 15min before game time. If I cannot arrive in time, I will assign a person from me team to do it for me.
· I will notify all umpires if a game is cancelled. I will notify my players, parents and opponent’s manager when a game is cancelled. I will reschedule with the league ASAP!
· I will keep my parents and fans under control. If I have a problem, I will report the problem to my respective Commissioner. The Commissioner will then report the incident to the Officers for review. Corrective action will take place if necessary.
· As the manager, I am responsible for my fields along with the team parents. I will make sure that bases are put away and gang boxes are locked. I will check the bathroom and the Pole Barn to make sure they are locked if I am the last manager to leave the complex.
