Brooklyn Park Baseball Coaches Code of Conduct

As a coach, BPBA will expect the following behaviors from you:

Recognize a good play and appreciate it, no matter what team makes the play.

Teach and encourage good sportsmanship

Avoid improper gestures and language

Treat opponents, players, parents, and BPBA committee members and Board Members with respect.

Recognize umpires  have the authority of your games and their decisions are final.  Respect them and their decisions.

Avoid public displays of criticism of BPBA, rules, players, coaches, umpires, anything BP baseball related with anyone.  If you have concerns or issues, these should be brought to the BP Board immediately.

Exercise self control at all times.

Respect the property of others, including our parks.


Rain, Rain Go Away

Notes on what to do if it rains while you are at the field:

As long as play can be conducted safely we play.  If there is lightning, suspend play.  If  the rain is coming down heavily seek shelter and determine field conditions after the rain passes. 

4 innings is considered a complete game or if you have completed 3.5 with the home team ahead, it should be considered a complete game.
