ELMORA YOUTH LITTLE LEAGUE

Parent Responsibilities

As published in our award winning league book

Parents Responsibilities

• Let your child choose to play Little League and to quit if he or she does not enjoy baseball. Encourage participation, but don't pressure.
• Understand what your child wants from participating in Little League and provide a supportive atmosphere for achieving these goals.
• Set limits on your child's participation in baseball. You need to determine when she or he is physically and emotionally ready to play and to insure that the conditions for playing are safe.
• Make certain your child's coach is qualified to guide your child through the Little League experience.
• Keep winning in perspective by remembering Athletics First, Winning Second. Instill this perspective in your child.
• Help your child set realistic goals about his or her own performance so success is guaranteed.
• Help your child understand the experiences associated with competitive sports so she or he can learn the valuable lesson sports can teach.
• Discipline your child when he or she misbehaves, breaks the rules, or is uncooperative or uncontrollable.
• Turn your child over to the coach at practices and games, and avoid meddling or becoming a nuisance.
• To notify your team's manager when your child cannot attend a game or practice.  It is a good idea to give your manager at least 48 hours notice when you expect to miss a game.
