Northern Indiana USSSA Zero Tolerance Policy

  We are issuing no more warnings the rest of the season to parents. EJECTIONS ONLY. Once ejected, it will be for the weekend.

 

Parents should limit their participation to that of positive encouragement. Negative cheering and unsportsmanlike behavior to other teams, umpires, fans, players, and/or coaches will not be allowed. Steps will be made to achieve the right environment for everyone involved if necessary.

 

Players/Parents/Spectators: Any Cussing, bashing, berating, belittling of an official, a staff member, a player, a coach or other fans will result in them being removed from the complex. 

 

Excessive arguing/yelling at an official over balls/strikes and calls on the field will result in them being removed from the complex

 

Coaches will be ejected immediately without warning if A. They use profanity B. They put their hands on an official C. The umpire feels threatened in any way. 

 

If you approach an official or staff member off the field or off property in a volatile and/or a demeaning way, you will not be allowed to stay or back into the facility.

 

Lastly, enjoy yourselves while you are out there. Enjoy the officials and staff members. They are not your opponents. They  are there for a good experience just as you are.
