Code of Conduct

Players

1. The HBBA is your association. Please remember that many people have spent many hours so that you may have the opportunity to participate in your favorite sports.
2. Your coach is one of the persons who are spending many hours of his or her time for you so try to attend each scheduled practice session and arrive on time. If you cannot attend, call your coach and let them know. Missed practices may cause you to lose game playing time.
3. Take care of your uniform and any other equipment issued to you.
4. When at the ballpark, whether playing or watching, do your best to keep trash off the ground and remember to please use the trash cans. You are also responsible for picking up all trash in your dugout after your game is over.
5. During the game you are there to play, not coach or officiate. Stay in the dugout unless you are supposed to be out. Yelling for your teammates is encouragement. Jeering your opponents is bad sportsmanship.
6. Treat all players as you would like to be treated.
7. Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve your skills and to feel good. Be a good sport by cheering all good plays, whether it’s your teams’ or your opponents’.
