Parent information
Parents have a life lasting
effect on their child's play. Follow these simple guidelines
when you child participates in any sporting activity.
Allow your child to be a child and let them enjoy the game.
Show excitement for their involvement. The fun lies in being
able to play. Encourage development over winning. Support
the entire team, not just your child and give praise to all of the
players. Let the players play and the coaches coach.
Do not instruct your child or other players during the game.
You will only confuse them.
Do not scold your child
or other players during the game. You will only embarrass and demoralize
them. Learn the rules.
Let the umpires umpire. Yelling at the umpires does not provide
anything positive and remember umpires are often young adults trying
their best.
(Better yet, volunteer
to be an umpire.)
Be supportive of the coaches and volunteers. They have to
deal with a lot of details that allow your child to play.
Pitch in without being asked. You will usually feel good about it.
Help out with field preparation and scorekeeping.
Keep all your comments
to your child and other players positive no matter what the score
or how well they played.
Be aware of Rules, Regulations and Philosophy of Little League
Baseball. Be a model of good sportsmanship. Flying off the handle
at games or straining relations with coaches, umpires, or other
parents creates a difficult situation for your child. Turn your
child over to the coach at all practices and games.
Avoid interfering. Remember that the managers and coaches
are all volunteers. Recognize that Little Leaguers are all children,
not professional players, and need encouragement, not criticism.
Applaud good plays. With errors, encouraging greater effort and
initiative. Congratulate the winner and encourage the loser. Always
practice and exemplify good sportsmanship and remember that children
learn by example. Parents set the most powerful example. Be positive
and let the children play. Enjoy the game for what it is … Little
League.
