The code of conduct
This is the code for our league:
To insure both players and umpires are
provided a positive environment, free from
physical and emotional harassment, the league, has
the following managerial prohibitions:
1. The touching of an umpire.
2. Leaving the designated area in a hostile
manner (i.e. dugout, coach’s box) without
permission, except if an injury to a
player has occurred.
3. A coach or manager shall not approach an
umpire without first being given
permission or granted a time out.
4. The use of foul language.
5. The throwing/abuse of equipment.
6. Continuous verbal harassment and/or
unsportsmanlike conduct.
7. Fan misbehavior.
8. Calling a play before the umpire.
Violation of items 5&6 will receive one (1)
warning and the expulsion of the manager or
coach of the team if a second violation
occurs during the game. It should be noted
that the managers and coaches are responsible
for their fans behavior.
Violation of all other items will result in
immediate ejection.
-------------------------------
Our 3rd base coach violated #8 and I was on him like the stink on Rosie O'Donnell. I have had a few fans that might have been in violation of #7 if allowed to continue...I squleched it at the start of the season. I had a player throw his bat after striking out in the second inning and he was done for the game.
