a Catcher should stand 6 feet behind the tee until the ball is hit, but it is <br />recommended that the catcher stand at the backstop. <br />a All players will shake hands at the completion of the game. Coaches should <br />stress the learning of good sportsmanship. <br />a Score and standings will not be kept, a philosophy of skill development, <br />teamwork and fun will be stressed. <br />Sportsmanship <br />Profanity and personal baiting of opponents by players or spectators shall not be <br />permitted. Abusive baiting is defined as remarks referring to the nationality, religion, <br />creed, or physical characteristics of an individual. The coaches shall remove anyone <br />from the game for violating this rule. (Note: Coaches are responsible for the behavior <br />of their team and their fans.) <br />Rain Out Policy <br />Where weather is a factor, the coach of each team should contact the Parks and <br />Recreation Department after 4:00 pm on the date of the game to find out if the games <br />have been cancelled. If the Recreation Department states that the games are on, each <br />team should report to their assigned fields; if the field is unplayable, a mutual decision <br />between coaches should be made at the field. Players are to call coaches to find out <br />if the game has been postponed, not the Parks, and Recreation Department. <br />Tips for T -ball Coaches <br />a Adjust the height of the "T" for each player, pay attention to the child natural <br />swing. <br />a In T -ball all fielded balls should be thrown to first base, regardless of where they <br />are hit and where the runners are on base. Don't expect young players to be <br />able to make the decisions about what to do with the ball after they catch it or <br />stop it. What matters at this level is the mechanics of catching and throwing the <br />ball. <br />
