In baseball there are codes of conduct for players, coaches, parents and spectators. 
These are set out below.

Player Code of Conduct

• Play by the rules of the game at all times
• Respect the Umpires. If you disagree with a non-judgment call, have your coach or manager approach the umpire(s) during a break or after the game has finished.
• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviors in any sport, especially baseball.
• Work equally hard for yourself and/or team. It will benefit your team's performance and yours.
• Be a good sport. Appreciate all good plays whether made by your team or the opposition.
• Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents. Without them there would be no Baseball competition.
• Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents and coaches.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all players regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
• Remember where you started…Give something back to the players below.
• You are solely responsible and accountable for your actions.
• All players are capable of doing one perfect thing on field at all times - hustling.
• Punctuality to training and games is a sign of dedication and personal accountability.
• Although Baseball is important to you, family and education are your main priorities.
• Profanity at any level at any time is unacceptable.
• Respect the facility you train and play on at all times.
• Respect the uniform you wear, by wearing it properly.
• Seniors, remember the little eyes (juniors) are on you. It is a compliment but also a big responsibility.
• Your on field actions speak louder than words. Lead by example.
• Treat all officials, spectators, volunteers and scorers with the respect they deserve…A huge amount!
• Keep your physical condition to a high level…to play well you must look and feel good. Remember also, the players are the most important advertisement for ANY sport.

Coaches Code of Conduct 

• Supervise the behaviour of the team at all times.
• Do not criticise players in front of spectators, parents or other teams. Review constructive criticism with a player or the team in private.
• Accept decisions of the umpire as being fair and called to the best of their ability. Do not abuse or ridicule the umpire nor allow your players to do so.
• Develop team respect for opponents, spectators and officials. Do not criticise other teams, supporters or officials by words or gestures.
• Set a good example in personal appearance and behaviour.
• Encourage sportsmanlike behaviour among the players.
• Ensure whenever possible all players have equal time on the diamond. Avoid overplaying the talented players - the average players need and deserve equal time.
• Encourage players to work together as a unified group (teamwork).
• Keep yourself informed of sound coaching principles and seek more skilled advice when necessary.
• Encourage your team to hustle on and off the playing field at all times.
• Place the welfare and development of the individual above a winning or losing record.

• Applaud good performance and efforts from all individuals and teams. Congratulate all participants on their performance regardless of the game's outcome.
• Respect the decisions of officials and teach young people to do the same.
• Never ridicule or scold a young player for making a mistake. Positive comments are motivational.

• Show respect for your team's opponents. Without them there would be no game.
• Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials' decisions.
• Do not use foul language, sledge or harass players, coaches or officials.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
• No glass or alcohol can be brought onto club grounds.
• Any breaches of this code will be dealt with accordingly.

Parents Code of Conduct 

• Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours.
• Encourage children to participate, do not force them.
• Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.
• Encourage children always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence.
• Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
• Remember that children learn best by example. Appreciate good performances and skillful plays by all participants.
• Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
• Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.
• Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators. Without them, your child could not participate.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
• If you have a concern with a coach, official, or other club member, rather than let it fester, please communicate it to the Executive Committee.
• It is important during trips away that parents allow their children the opportunity of “spreading their wings”
• Parents should never discuss what they feel best for their child on field, unless they first have discussed it with the coach.
• Encourage your child’s Coach(es) at all possible times. That small pat on the back “Goes a long way”.
