Congratulations Coach!
We are excited that you've decided to help as a volunteer coach. Coaching is very rewarding and you have a great opportunity to be a positive influence on the kids and parents that surround you.
In Post Falls we expect our coaches to agree to the following guidelines:
IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU
- Kids First: don't put your needs ahead of the kids on your team. The game is about them, not you.
- Stay in Control: remember this is a kid's game. Don't ruin it by losing your cool. And help keep your parents in control if needed.
- NO foul language, use of tobacco, alcohol on the fields or around the kids.
- Treat UMPs with respect and remember you will get a call against you that you don't agree with.
- Know the rules: spend time getting familiar with the rules
- Unwritten Rule: This one can be nebulous. This means play the game the right way. Ex. if you're ahead by a large margin, don't keep pouring it on. In the lower divisions (tball, A) don't take advantage of a kid not knowing where to throw the ball, or running right after the kid throws the ball to the wrong base. Play with class.
Baseball is a great sport that brings kids and families together. We are excited to work with you.
