WHAT COUNTRYSIDE LITTLE LEAGUE EXPECTS FROM OUR PARENTS
• Attend your child's games
• Be a supportive parent for the manager and team
• Communicate with the manager only in appropriate ways
• Cheer for all players on both teams
• Be a positive role model
• Be there for your child whether successful or struggling for success
• Respect and support league volunteers and be prepared to “pitch in” when asked
• Understand that the game is difficult to learn and play
• Look for opportunities to work your child on the basic skills of the game
• Be positive and be supportive whether your team wins or loses
• Be a model of good sportsmanship
• Never use negative comments towards the players from either team
• Respect the umpire’s decisions. Refrain from making the umpire’s job more difficult than it already is. Be willing to forgive the bad call, the inconsistent strike zone, or the muffed rule. There are no experts in a volunteer Little League organization.
•Volunteer in the concession stand when your team is assigned.
• Respond to Questionnaires to evaluate Managers/Coaches at end of season.
WHAT MANAGERS EXPECT FROM PARENTS
• Come and enjoy the games. Help us make this fun for all the players on all teams.
• Allow the managers to run the team. REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS.
• Please discuss any concerns that you have with the manager after the game and away from the team’s players.
• Set a good example for our players. Don’t yell at our umpires or opposing players.
• Volunteer to help us make this a positive experience for your child. This includes helping with team assignments for concession stand duty and also score keeping for AAA-Senior divisions.
• There are many small and/or one-time jobs that need to be done both during the season and during the off-season.
DOWNLOAD THE GAME CHANGER APP
• CSLL families should download the Game Changer app for the easiest way to communicate with your coach, other families on the team, and see the schedule.
