I will be respectful of all players, coaches, umpires, staff, and fans.


I will be respectful of the field and property. I will clean the dugout of any and all trash, gather all team equipment and collect my personal belongings at the end of each practice or game.


I understand that only team managers are permitted to speak to the umpire when questioning a call or discussing any game-related matter.


Once the game begins, I will remain in the dugout unless I am on deck, batting, or playing defense. The exception is to meet a teammate at home plate following a home run or game ending play.


I will not engage in any unsportsmanlike conduct. This may include (but is not limited to) taunting, personal insults, and use of profanity.

I understand that violation of this policy will result in a mandatory suspension of at least 1 game.


I will not make racist remarks to anyone at any time. I understand that PLW has a zero-tolerance policy regarding the use of any racial epithets, slurs, or innuendos.
