PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES

 
As more and more accounts are being recorded around the country of parents assaulting umpires, coaches and other parents, the Tealtown  Board of Directors voted to institute requirements on parents for their children to participate in the league.  This was done to protect against violence occurring within the league, but more importantly, to insure that our children see their participation for what it is, fun.

 

It is a requirement of participation of each player participant in the Tealtown Little League that the following items be adhered to by their parents or guardians.  Failure to fulfill these requirements may result in the player being removed from the team and their participation ceased.

 

1.      No coaching is allowed from the stands.  A parents’ role is to provide encouragement from the sidelines, not instruction.  Umpires are to announce to the public this rule when they witness any occurrence. 

 

 2.      Parents or guardians are to familiarize themselves with the Little League rules.  We want to insure that each participating adult is familiar with the Little League playing rule(s). 

 

 3.      The goal for each participant within the Tealtown Little League is learn the game and maintain the desire to play the game next year.  Placing winning above all else is not compatible with the structure of the league and the organization. 

 

 4.      In addition to your player fees, the league / each team may require your son or daughter to raise money for the teams use.
