Coaches Code of Conduct

Coaches have an important role in the development of the young children in the community. MCLL

strives to teach each child good sportsmanship, fair play, and teamwork; values they can use throughout

their lives. To ensure each coach acts in the best interest of the children and Little League

Baseball/Softball, MCLL has enacted this Coaches Code of Conduct.

 1) Players: Yelling at a player or using inappropriate language is never acceptable. Coaches are

mentors and role models, and should always seek opportunities to encourage players. Discipline

involving verbal abuse or physical contact is never acceptable and will not be tolerated. At the

beginning of the season, coaches should establish conduct standards and consequences for not

meeting those standards, and should communicate them to players and parents.

 2) Parents/Fans: Coaches are expected to interact with parents in a professional manner using

appropriate language and behavior. Coaches should never respond to comments from fans during

games, and should insist that their team’s fans respect both teams and the umpires. Issues should

never be discussed in front of players unless absolutely necessary.

 3) Umpires: Coaches should never argue, shout, or use foul language with umpires. When a coach

has a question or objects to a call, they should approach the umpire calmly and respectfully in order

to maintain a positive example for the players. Coaches should not condone their team’s fans from

criticizing umpires during the game.

 4) Drugs, Alcohol, & Tobacco: Any coach determined to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol

will be required to leave the field immediately. The use of tobacco while coaching is strictly

prohibited.

The MCLL Board will review all violations of these rules and any filed complaints and take appropriate

action, which may include additional league supervision, suspension or termination of

Managing/coaching privileges.
