Requirements

• Attend Evaluations
• Attend Coaches Meeting/Draft
• Volunteer @ Play Ball Day
• Attend Junior Husky Night
• Use an acceptable platform for team communications

• General Expectations:

• Be professional, this is for the players, not the coaches.

• Get as many innings played as possible

• Dress respectable, no flip flops

• Head coaches are responsible for the conduct of their Asst. Coaches, players and fans.

• Coaches are responsible for reviewing these rules and Code of Conduct with players, coaches, parents and fans.

• Each head coach, assistant coach and league commissioner must submit and pass a background check before they will be allowed to participate as a coach or commissioner.  

• There will be no protests or appeals.

• The home plate umpire shall be in charge of the game and may be assisted by a base umpire.

Treat each player fairly and impartially.  Placing your player ahead of the team will cause you problems and contribute to bad feelings among other players and parents.  Equally important is the reverse scenario where you require more of your child than that of other players.

The mission of our program is to provide recreational baseball/softball for all who wish to participate.  You should never overemphasize winning as your team’s goal. It is the coach’s responsibilities that this attitude is throughout his or her team. Remember these are just children learning a game.

Under NO circumstances will any coach ever verbally or physically abuse a player.   Any coach who attempts to embarrass a player or in any way abuses a player will be IMMEDIATELY removed from their role as a coach.  Any persons who do not share this belief or do not control their emotions and intensity level should not serve as coach.

Participation Behavior:  This rule applies to all attendees. Any person being ejected from a game must immediately leave the property. They will be automatically suspended for the next game. The suspended person may not be on park property. This one game suspension may be appealed to the executive committee of the board.

Social Media Use Policy: While HHASA supports the use of social media outlets; (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter, among others), individuals may use such media in any way they choose as long as such use does not produce any adverse consequences such as harassing, demeaning, creating a hostile environment, or harming the goodwill and reputation of the league or in the community at large.

Doghouse Rule:  Only the head coach (chief assistant if head coach is not present at game) shall have standing to discuss calls with umpire.

• If there is a question of rule applications or interpretation; it will be calmly and quietly discussed at home plate by both head coaches.

• Ump's call. Warn first. If any coach misbehaves, they are designated to dugout only and coach must remain silent.

• If coach breaks silence, coach can be removed from game.

Safety always comes first and shall override any other rule or regulations of the league.
