2025 Sauk Prairie Summer Baseball Parent/Legal Guardian Code of Conduct Agreement

Sauk Prairie Summer Baseball is a PRIVILEGE not a right and any player or parent that does not abide to the program’s views of baseball or proves to be a distraction to their team will be released from the program.

As a parent/legal guardian of a child involved in the Sauk Prairie Summer Baseball program, I agree to abide by and follow the rules and guidelines below.

● I will promote the emotional and physical well-being of the athletes ahead of any personal desire to win.

● I will remember that my child plays baseball for his enjoyment, not mine.

● I will encourage good sportsmanship through my actions, by demonstrating positive support for all players.

● I will provide support for coaches and officials working with the athletes to provide a positive experience for all.

● I will demand my athlete treat all players, coaches, officials, parents, and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.

● I will demand my athlete not engage in any type of threatening or bullying behavior either verbally or physically in person or via social media.

● I will treat all players, coaches, officials, parents, and spectators with dignity in language, attitude, behavior, and mannerisms.

● I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my athlete or the safety of others.

● I will notify the coach in a timely manner if my son is ill or unable to attend a game/practice due to other obligations.

● I will respect the property and equipment used at any sports facility, both home and away.

● I will help take care of and respect our facility by helping in field maintenance, such as dragging the field after games and practices.

● I understand the consumption of alcohol is prohibited at all Sauk Prairie Summer Baseball games.

● I understand that concealed weapons are not allowed at games or practices.

NOTE: If your athlete has any questions, we encourage them to be the individual to talk to the coach or coaches. However, if parents have questions regarding their son’s playing time, position, spot in the lineup, etc., please wait at least 1 hour after a game before discussing with coaches. The competitive nature of sports applies to coaches and a ‘cooling’ down period after games is a nice buffer for coaches/parents.

I understand that by signing this document I am agreeing to support and promote this Parent/Legal Guardian Code of Conduct Agreement. Further, my failure to comply with this Agreement or my participation in any of the defined CONDUCT SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE will result in disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion from the Sauk Prairie Summer Baseball program and its affiliate member associations.
