Antelope Little League
Message from the President
Dear Managers and Coaches,
Congratulations on being selected as a Manager or Coach for Antelope Little League. Each of you has
demonstrated you have the best interest of the children in our community at the forefront of your reasons for
volunteering. You have committed to teaching them the game of baseball while providing a safe environment
and allowing them to have a positive and fun experience.
We will have a coaching clinic where you will learn how to teach the proper techniques of batting, throwing,
fielding, and other aspects of play. We will provide teaching materials, Little League handouts, and rule books.
Hopefully, these clinics and materials will be beneficial and you will use the information you have learned every
time your team is on the field of play.
Safety of the players and volunteers is paramount to Little League, and it comes in many forms. The most
obvious form is safety of the player while playing baseball either at practice or games. For example, the
swinging of bats must be in accordance with all safety rules; proper gear must be worn while catching; and
players must wear batting helmets while batting and running the bases. These and other safety rules are
essential to the wellbeing of our children.
Player safety also includes making sure no player is left alone prior to or after practices and games. Background
checks have been performed in an effort to further protect our children. Only those individuals who have an
approved application on file are allowed to participate at practice and games with the children. Furthermore, I
want to remind you to stay at the field until all players, including older children, leave the field with an
appropriate party after practices and games. Remind your parents to be timely in picking‐up their
children. Verify all carpooling instructions before allowing the children to ride with someone who is not their
parent.
We will provide you with basic first aid information on handling minor injuries and emergencies on the
field. You will be provided first aid kits in your equipment bag to handle minor injuries.
By accepting the responsibility of managing or coaching, you are given the task of ensuring the safety of our
players. I am confident that each and every one of you will do your part to protect our children. With your
help, we look forward to making this a safe and fun baseball season!
Sincerely,
Riann Kopchak,
President

Safety Manuals and First Aid Kits
Each team will be issued a Safety Manual and a First Aid Kit at the beginning of the season. The Manager of the
team will acknowledge the receipt of both by signing in the spaced provided below when taking possession of
these articles.
Two chemical ice packs of physical therapy quality will be issued to each team at the beginning of the season.
Others are available at all times at the concession stand. The concession stand will also have a First Aid Kit and
Safety Manual in plain view during all games and activities. The First Aid Kit will include the necessary items to
treat an injured player until professional help arrives if need be.
The Safety Manual will include phone numbers for hospitals and other emergency services, phone numbers of
all board members, and the Antelope Little League Code of Conduct.
I have received my Safety Manual and First Aid Kit and will have both present at all practices, batting cage
practices, games (season games and post‐season games) and any other event where team members could
become injured or hurt.

Prior to each game, the home team manager and coaches will walk the field looking for obvious safety
issues. This will be done prior to the game while the field is being prepared for the game. The manager
and coaches will look for items that could cause injury, such as rocks, bottles and holes in the field. The
managers and coaches are responsible for the infield, outfield and dugout areas and the umpire will be
responsible for all bases including home plate.
Equipment Inspection
Antelope Little League will work to ensure that all equipment that the children are using in good and
safe condition. Prior to the start of the season, the Antelope Little League equipment manager will
inspect the equipment prior to handing it out. At that time, any equipment that is in unsafe condition
will be discarded. Following Little League guidelines, the equipment will be destroyed such that it
cannot be used by children that might try to retrieve a dumpster or garbage can.
In addition to the pre-season inspection, the Manager and coaches will inspect the equipment at
games and practice. Umpires will inspect equipment at the beginning of each game. Dented bats or
cracked helmets will be taken out of play at that time and the manager will be required to dispose of it
as described above after the game.

ALL Manager/Coach Code of Conduct
Antelope Little League is concerned about the conduct of all coaches, officials, players and fans during practices
and games at all levels. ALL seeks to ensure that games are a fair, positive and an enjoyable experience for all of
the children and adults involved. ALL expects all Managers/Coaches (Coaches) to conform to this code of
conduct. Coaches are to adhere to this code at all times.
1.
As a Coach with ALL, it is your responsibility to ensure that you create a positive environment of
learning, fun and reinforcement.
2. The Coach will treat all of his/her players, including their own, fairly and with respect at all times.
3. The Coach will communicate his/her expectations to the players and their parents as clearly, consistently,
and as early as possible.
4. The Coach is expected to advise parents/guardians of the players on his/her team to be timely and
responsible in dropping off and picking up their children for all practices and games. ALL seeks to
maintain player safety at all times.
5. The Coach is an example of dignity and patience, and a role model to players.
6. The Coach should introduce himself/herself to officials and opposing coaches before the game.
7. The Coach is responsible for the sportsmanship of the players during the game.
8. The Coach is responsible for the conduct of the parents of his/her players during the game. It is
imperative to explain acceptable player and parent behavior in a preseason meeting. Encourage them to
applaud and cheer good plays by either team. Clearly, forcefully, and directly discourage them from
being derisive toward officials or opposing players.
9. The Coach is responsible for the conduct of spectators rooting for his/her team during the game.
10. During the game, the Coach will not address the officials of the game inappropriately. If there is an issue

thinks the official was unfair, biased, unfit or incompetent, the Coach should report his/her opinion in
writing to the Division Commissioner.
11. After the game, the Coach and his/her players should thank the officials, opposing players, and coaches.
12. Coaches are required to familiarize themselves with ALL by-laws pertinent to their responsibilities and to
adhere to the requirements of those by-laws and to conduct all practices and games in strict
conformance with ALL’s playing requirements and guidelines.
The example of a Coach is powerful. As a Coach with ALL, your role is to ensure fair play, support the officials, and
focus on the players’ enjoyment of the game and their overall long-term development. Coaches who do not
follow the expectations described above will be disciplined or removed in accordance with ALL bylaws.
By signing below, I agree to abide by this Code of Conduct.
