Conduct *

Our core concept is to conduct ourselves as good sportsmen and good members of our community. Swearing, throwing equipment, fighting, arguing with umpires, negative comments toward our team or opposing team members and any other non-sportsmanlike behavior by a coach, a player, or a player's parents is unacceptable. If after receiving a warning from one of the coaches, a player's unacceptable behavior persists, he will be subject to loss of playing time or possible expulsion from the team. Off the field conduct deemed detrimental to the team and/or Riptide organization will also be subject to loss of playing time, suspension, or possible expulsion from the team. This punishment may be in addition to punishments given out via other means if determined worthy by the Riptide organization.

Attendance *

Playing Time *

Playing time will be determined by the coaches using several factors. These factors will include game performance, practice performance, attitude, conduct and attendance. Besides teaching the game of baseball our objective as a team will be to play clean, play hard and to win games. Consequently, all factors being equal, the players that perform the best in games will experience the most playing time. The players sitting on the bench will be expected to participate in opposing team evaluations, statistics for the team, and any other reasonable activity relating to the on-going game upon coaches request.
