•  Parents and Spectators are not to stand behind the baseline while a game is in play.

•  Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game.

•  Remember that children learn best by example, applaud good play by all teams.

•  Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.

•  Respect umpire decisions and teach children to do likewise.
