HUSTLE.

1. Be fair and just, not criticizing players publicly. I commit to treat each player with respect, as an individual.

3. Arrive early for practices, meetings and games. 

4. Do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all players and are appropriate for the age levels I teach.

GROW.

1. Embody the COMBA Mission to be a community of baseball players, parents, coaches and volunteers, pursuing athletic excellence and personal development of youth in the Central Okanagan.

2. Ensure that all players and assistant coaches are knowledgeable in all rules and regulations pertaining to the baseball league in which my team will be playing.

3. Place the emotional and physical well-being of my players and game officials ahead of any personal desire to win.

4. Respect the integrity and judgment of the game umpires, understanding that they are doing their best to help promote the youth baseball athletes, and admire their willingness to participate in full view of the public.

Finally, I promise to abide by the BC Minor Code of Conduct (rule 13, page 47).

If I observe any violations of this Code of Conduct by other coaches or those to be followed by either parents or
