Code of Conduct

The Pickering Baseball Association prides itself on our well run Baseball program which stresses TEAM SPIRT AND FUN, rather than a win at all costs attitude. Winning is nice, but contrary to popular belief, it is not everything. HAVING FUN and learning to play on a team will be the main objectives.

All teams in the Association are governed by a combination of the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association (E.O.B.A.) and our own association rules to ensure fair play for all.

On occasion, rules are broken which results in disciplinary action being taken. In some cases points will be forfeited, while in more serious cases, membership in the association will be revoked. Parents should be aware that their behavior could result in disciplinary measures being brought against their child's team.

COMPLAINTS MUST BE IN WRITING AND SENT TO THE DIVISION CONVENOR

ABUSE OF UMPIRES - A team whose players, coaches or parents are responsible for verbally harassing Umpires will be subject to forfeiture of League/Playoff points. In addition, any Physical Abuse towards Umpires WILL result in their membership in the association being TERMINATED along with CRIMINAL CHARGES being laid.

We cannot stress enough; RESPECT, SPORTSMANSHIP, and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE towards the game, coaches, umpires and your fellow players.

Any harassment towards coaches and/or players will result in immediate ejection and/or forfeiture of the game.

Everyone MUST REMEMBER that this is a game and our children are suppose to be HAVING FUN.
