BAY AREA PRO CODE OF CONDUCT

PLAYERS CONDUCT

«  RESPECT YOUR TEAMMATES, COACHES, OFFICIALS, OPPONENTS & PARENTS AT ALL TIMES.

«  ARGUING WITH THE UMPIRE IS NOT TOLERATED- THAT IS YOUR COACHES JOB, YOUR JOB IS TO PLAY THE GAME.

«  BE A GOOD TEAMMATE! TREAT YOUR TEAMMATES THE SAME WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

«  BE PREPARED AND BE ON TIME!!

DRESS CODE

«  PRACTICE – YOU WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO WEAR YOUR FULL UNIFORM OR PRACTICE GEAR. SHIRTS MUST BE TUCKED IN.

«  DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BRING CROCS OR SLIDES INTO THE CAGES. ALWAYS BRING A PAIR OF TURFS OR TRAINERS.

«  GAMES – YOU MUST BE IN PRACTICE SHIRT, GAME PANTS, & TURFS WHEN YOU ARRIVE TO THE DUGOUT. NO SHORTS- NO CROCS- NO SLIDES! YOU CAN CHANGE INTO YOUR JERSEY BEFORE THE GAME AND YOU CAN ONLY PUT ON YOUR CROCS/SLIDES AFTER THE GAME IS COMPLETED.

CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLES

«  THERE ARE MANY THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHEN IT COMES TO THIS GAME SO CONTROL THE ONES YOU CAN

«  CONTROL YOUR ATTITUDE AND EMOTIONS – STAY CALM AND STAY ENGAGED. NEGATIVE ATTITUDES, THOUGHTS, & ACTIONS DO NOT HELP YOU AT ALL! BODY LANGUAGE TELLS US EVERYTHING. IF IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DON’T WANT TO BE OUT THERE, SOMEONE ON THE BENCH DOES.

«  HUSTLE! HUSTLE! HUSTLE!  THIS REQUIRES NO SKILL! IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HUSTLE, WE WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL!

«  NO PARENTS IN OR AROUND THE DUGOUTS.

«  NO GUEST PLAYING. WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PLAYERS’ MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. WE WILL NOT BRING IN GUEST PLAYERS IF WE HAVE A FULL TEAM.

«  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH A SITUATION OR PLAYING TIME, GIVE IT 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU APPROACH YOUR COACH. WE WILL NOT SPEAK TO PARENTS ABOUT IT. YOU ARE YOUNG MEN AND WE WILL TREAT YOU AS SUCH.
