Dugout conduct



Hi Talcor Parents:

 

I want to ask for you help with the conduct of our Talcor players while in the dugout.   It's important that we maintain a good climate of control and discipline in the dugout.  The players should be focused on the game which means watching play and being attentive.    Here a couple rules that the coaches need help with:

 

No player is allowed to leave the dugout unless he needs to go to the restroom.

Players must be on the bench or "on the fence" rooting their team on.  No lottering around the exit gate J

As far as food, I prefer that you not bring candy and goodies to the players.  I understand that if they did not have time to eat dinner for the early game that you may occasionally need to feed them, but as a general rule, lets keep eating in the dugout to a minimum.   We do have a water cooler in the dugout that you should encourage your son to use.   I don't mind Gatorade but try to give it to them at the beginning of the game.

Please ask your son to be attentive to the coaches and to the game.   The dugout coach needs to focus on the batting order.  He should not have to spend a lot of time monitoring the boy's conduct.

 

I'll also talk to the boys about this tonight.

 

See you at the park tonight at 6:30.   As always, please call me at 556-1083 if your son will not be there.

 

Thanks for you help and the opportunity to coach your son,

Jim and coaches
