Players and Parents Code of Conduct

4135 Lambrick Way | Victoria, B.C. | V8N 5R3
Players and Parents Code of Conduct
The actions of our members are a reflection of themselves, their teams, the Gordon Head at Lambrick
Park Baseball Association (GHLPBA), the Greater Victoria Baseball Association (GVBA), and our
community. Involvement in baseball provides opportunities and experiences that are important to the
development of well- rounded individuals; however, players and parents must remember that their
participation in baseball and functions of the GHLPBA and related associations is a privilege, not a right.
Accordingly, players and parents agree to:
 Treat everyone (especially teammates, coaches, opponents, umpires, event organizers, and
spectators) with respect;
 Respect and accept with dignity the decisions of officials, the GHLPBA, and the GVBA;
 Be generous and humble in winning and graceful in losing;
 Exercise self-control at all times;
 Refrain from throwing equipment in disgust (bat, helmet, glove, or any other object);
 Refrain from the use of physical force outside of the rules of the game;
 Refrain from unsportsmanlike gestures, talk, language, or profanity. Taunting or teasing players
and coaches on the opposing team, umpires, spectators, or league executives is not acceptable;
 Remember that there is no place in baseball for drugs, performance enhancing drugs or
supplements, alcohol or tobacco products;
 Follow the guidelines set forth by your coach for your team and program;
 Follow the guidelines set forth by the GHLPBA and GVBA for players and teams in the GHLPBA;
 Play fair and in accordance with both the letter and the spirit of the rules of the GHLPBA at all
times.
Should the player break any of the above rules, the GHLPBA and/or the GVBA reserves the right to take
disciplinary actions within reason up to and including expulsion from the association. All circumstances will
be taken into account in disciplinary proceedings with incidents and individuals either on or off the field.
Have fun! Have a great season! Play fair, play safe, play ball!
