Expectations of Participants
Participation in youth sports programs can have a lasting and meaningful effect on children's lives. Therefore, it is the goal of the East Lansing Baseball Club to provide high quality programs to ensure that a child's experience with sports is a positive one. It takes the cooperation of everyone involved, including the participant, to make this happen. Therefore, ELBC has established the following responsibilities for participants to adhere to:
- Players will listen to their coaches and be respectful of others.
- Players will take care of the facilities, equipment, and uniforms.
- Players are encouraged to eat the right foods and drink plenty of water before and after practices and games.
- Players will avoid all types of taunting and belittling remarks to their teammates or opponents.
- Players will show good sportsmanship at all times, win or lose.
- Players will not make sports a priority over schoolwork or family.
- Players will refrain from horseplay and all other dangerous activities.
- Players will participate for the love of the game and competition and not to win at all costs.
Note: Failure of participants to meet the responsibilities listed above or the presence of other undesirable behavior as determined by the coach or coaching staff will result in disciplinary action including possible expulsion from team.
