2010 SEASON INFORMATION
-
-
1.) If you have not played a
sport this year, you need to get a physical,
insurance waiver, and athletic code signed and
turned in to me prior to turning out Monday, March 1st.
-
-
2.) What you need for practice:
- Glove (Cannot have any
white of grey on it if you’re a pitcher)
- Baseball shoes with metal
cleats and tennis/running shoes.
- A hat, preferably the team
hat and wear it right way.
- Sweats or some long
baseball type pants (no shorts/pajama style pants)
- Long sleeve that cover the
elbow – we wear them until it’s 85 degrees – never
ask not to wear one – never show up without one. We
never throw with a sweatshirt/hoody-always have a
long sleeve on.
- A light jacket or
sweatshirt.
- We strongly advise the use
of a protective cup for players at all positions!
You might want to check out a new cup called the
Nutty Buddy.
- Do not wear any type of
jewellery. EVER.
- We suggest buying a bat
that fits you – mark it and don’t let other players
use it.
-
3.) Playing time is earned by:
-
Performance – performance in
practice, intrasquads, and games is the bottom
line. We are constantly evaluating everything and
everyone. We are always looking to find someone
doing something right-make sure you’re making us see
YOU doing that.
-
Attitude and effort
-
Perceived ability to help the
team win
-
Commitment to team goals and
team success
-
It is important to understand
that this is not an equal opportunity situation in
the sense that you don’t get to play just because
you turn out. This is a competitive situation and
the best players play the most. Realistically;
however, there is a meaningful playing time for 12
players on each team. We are committed to getting as
much playing time for each player at his
demonstrated level of ability as circumstances allow
for.
-
-
4.) Practices and
games/attendance policy:
-
-
We place an extraordinary
emphasis on the value of practice and expect that
you attend practice and team functions – without
exception. Our team can’t get better if players miss
practice. In the event that you are going to miss a
practice for an acceptable reason (illness, family,
school related) it is your responsibility to
let me know personally at the earliest opportunity
via phone or e-mail. Missing practice for reasons
other than those mentioned above or failing to
communicate will result in dismissal from the team.
Extreme extenuating circumstances will be
considered.
-
-
5.)
Drug/Alcohol Code
Violations:
-
-
The Zillah School District Athletic Code policy
for suspension for 1st violations of the
policy (i.e. suspension for ¼ season) is intended as
a guideline and a minimum number of games that will
be missed for a Code Policy. Zillah Leopard
Baseball has a ZERO TOLERANCE
POLICY for Level 1 Code Violations-you will
be asked to turn in your gear and your season will
be over.
-
-
6.)
Daily
Logistics/Practice and games
-
-
You need to be on the field at
3:05, so clearly you need to hustle from here. Guys
who drive are expected to help guys who don’t. In
any case, you are expected to drive to the field and
away from the field after practice legally and
safely.
