Volunteer Code of Conduct:
Volunteers play a critical role in shaping the Little League experience and are expected to serve as positive role models for all players.
By serving as a volunteer for MJWSLL, I agree to:
Place the emotional and physical well-being of players ahead of any personal desire to win.
Teach the fundamentals of the game and the values of teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship.
Provide a safe playing environment and follow all Little League safety rules and guidelines.
Treat all players fairly and with respect, regardless of skill level or background.
Use positive coaching methods and never use physical punishment, verbal abuse, or humiliation.
Respect umpires and officials and refrain from arguing or questioning their decisions during games.
Maintain self-control and model appropriate behavior at all times.
Communicate respectfully and constructively with players, parents, officials, and league administrators.
Never use or permit alcohol, tobacco, vaping products, or illegal substances at any league event.
Comply with all Little League International and MJWSLL rules, policies, and procedures.
Complete all required background checks and training programs.
When a player’s behavior becomes disruptive, unsafe, or interferes with team activities and the player is unable to regain composure, I understand that I may temporarily remove the player from participation and may engage the player’s parent or guardian to assist with removal. This action is intended to support the player’s well-being and maintain a positive team environment and is not a form of punishment. The decision regarding return to participation will be at the discretion of the coaching staff and/or league officials.
Any coach, volunteer, or league official who is under investigation for, charged with, or has pending legal charges involving conduct against a minor is prohibited from participating in any MJWSLL activities, including practices, games, or league events, until the matter is fully resolved. This action is taken in accordance with Little League International policies and is intended solely to protect the safety of all participants.
Disciplinary Action:
Violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, including warning, suspension, or removal from coaching duties, as determined by the MJWSLL Board of Directors.
