Corn Belt Coaches/Players Guidelines

• Players be respectful towards coaches. If you are having an issue, talk to the coach one on one and schedule a meeting with him.
• Players be respectful towards umpires, fans and other players.
• Players show up to the field looking like a college athlete. Represent our league well. Do not show up with your jersey un-tucked from your baseball pants, backwards hat, etc.
• Follow all the league rules and rules of conduct at the Strike Zone. Please be courteous to customers at the Strike Zone. If you see a younger kid working in the cage or tunnel area(s), encourage them, give some pointers, and invite them out to watch you play this summer. They will be looking up to you and that will go a long way in their lives creating lasting memories.
• If you are going to miss a game, practice, etc. make sure you give your coach the common courtesy of letting him know in advance that you will not be there.
• Make sure you are following the rules set by your host family. It needs to be an enjoyable experience for you and for them.
• Represent our league in the community. Omaha is a very small big city and lots of people know someone associated with the Strike Zone, MVP4Life, and the Corn Belt League. Make sure that you are representing all 3 of these organizations in a good fashion.
