Parent / Guardian Code of Conduct:
Parents and guardians are essential partners in creating a positive Little League experience. Your behavior sets the example for all players.
By allowing my child to participate in MJWSLL, I agree to:
Encourage my child to play for fun, learn, and enjoy the game.
Support all players, coaches, officials, and volunteers with positive words and actions.
Refrain from yelling at, criticizing, or coaching my child or other players from the stands.
Never engage in unsportsmanlike conduct, including booing, taunting, or using profane language or gestures.
Respect the authority and decisions of umpires and coaches.
Address concerns with coaches or league officials at an appropriate time and place, never during games or practices.
Help my child understand that effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship matter more than winning.
Ensure my child arrives on time, prepared, and with proper equipment.
Never use or permit alcohol, tobacco, vaping products, or illegal substances at any league event.
Respect league facilities, property, and equipment.
Comply with all Little League International and MJWSLL rules and policies.
When my child’s behavior becomes disruptive, unsafe, or interferes with team activities and my child is unable to regain composure, I understand that the volunteer coach may engage me and request my assistance in temporarily removing my child from participation. I agree to cooperate promptly and respectfully. This temporary removal is intended to support my child’s well-being and maintain a positive team environment and is not a form of punishment. My child’s return to participation will be at the discretion of the volunteer coaching staff and/or league officials.
Any parent or guardian who is under investigation for, charged with, or has pending legal charges involving conduct against a minor may be restricted from attending or participating in MJWSLL activities, including practices and games, until the matter is resolved. The MJWSLL Board of Directors reserves the right to impose such restrictions to maintain a safe environment for all players.
Disciplinary Action:
Parents/guardians who fail to adhere to this Code may be subject to disciplinary action, including removal from the field or facility, suspension from attending games or practices, or additional action as determined by the MJWSLL Board of Directors.
