6 PHILOSOPHY of ORGANIZATION OMGAA exists for the purpose of teaching each child the fundamentals of the sport they are participating in, and to provide the framework for the wholesome participation at each child s playing ability. Having fun while learning and being treated with dignity is each child's right and each adult's responsibility. Coaches and parents shall stress sportsmanship, team spirit, and acquiring skills more than winning. In addition to learning the fundamentals, the child, parents and coaches should learn and remember how to lose graciously. Coaches shall employ appropriate language when dealing with impressionable youth. Profanity will not be tolerated by coaches or parents. THE SPORTSMAN'S CREED THE PLAYER: THE COACH: THE PARENTS: THE OFFICIAL: I will live clean and play hard. I will play for the love of the game. I will win without boasting, lose without excuses, and never quit. I will respect officials and accept their decisions without question. I will never forget that I represent my team. I will inspire in the players a love for the game and a desire to win. I will teach them that it is better to lose fairly then to win unfairly. I will lead players and spectators to respect officials by setting a good example. I will try to be the type of person that players want to become. We will never boo a player, coach or official. We will appreciate a good play no matter who makes it. We know the team gets the blame or praise for their conduct, not just the individuals. I know the rules. I will be fair and firm in all decisions. I will call them as I see them yet not be afraid to correct my own mistakes. I will treat players and coaches courteously and expect the same treatment in return. I know the game is for the players, and will let them have the spotlight. 4

7 CODE OF ETHICS OMGAA board members, coaches, assistant coaches, umpires, coordinators and volunteers will: Aspire and maintain personal conduct above ethical reproach. Maintain a commitment to the highest levels of personal and public integrity. Unethical conduct or actions should be reported to the OMGAA board at , and will be dealt with on an individual basis by the board. Unethical conduct or actions could include, but are not limited to: Any unlawful abusive act or acts against or directed toward a child or children. Actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Any unlawful act or acts against or directed toward or on behalf of OMGAA and/or OMGAA board members, coaches, assistant coaches, umpires, coordinators, and volunteers of OMGAA. COACHES RESPONSIBILITIES Coaches Certification A coach is responsible for the development and conduct of all players on the team. A coach s primary function is to teach skills and develop the players socially, psychologically, and physically. Coaches are accountable to the OMGAA Board of Directors and will follow the guidelines listed below: 1. Hold a parent/coach meeting prior to the first season game to explain the rules, goals, and objectives to the team. 2. Clearly state the expectations of the players and parents for the season. 3. Always be positive and use constructive criticism only! 4. Encourage team play and values rather than individual accomplishments. 5. Develop players to play a variety of positions within the player s physical and mental abilities. 6. Enforce all rules without prejudice toward any one player. 7. Maintain team discipline. These matters should be explained in full and be private between player, parent, and coach. 8. Support the OMGAA philosophy. 9. Conduct yourself as a role model for the players and the parents. Any complaint as to a coach's behavior and/or coaching philosophy will be reviewed by a committee made up of the OMGAA Chairman, appropriate Baseball Director, and the League Coordinator for the age group involved; also the Umpire Coordinator if needed. This panel shall have final say as to what disciplinary action will be taken. Recourse to disciplinary action is to notify the appropriate Baseball Director the desire to appear before the board at the next regularly scheduled board meeting. 5

8 Sponsors Community Sponsor Each year the association is faced with ever increasing costs. To those businesses and individuals that sponsored a team in the past, OMGAA would like to extend a very appreciative THANK YOU. Without all of the team sponsors, YOUR membership costs would be even higher than they are now. Our sponsors are an integral part of the association's revenue. Their contribution help to directly offset the costs involved with providing our community youth with a positive alternative to the choices each youth faces in today s world. As an association, we encourage our membership to support the businesses that support our programs. We ask that individual members also thank our sponsors by patronizing those businesses that support OMGAA. Each member has a much more powerful message to send than any marketing campaign. OMGAA needs continued active team sponsors, and as members of this community, team sponsors need OMGAA members. Elections The annual election of Officers and Directors is held during the regular scheduled board meeting in October. A notice of elections is published in the local newspaper at least 15 days prior to the October meeting date. Association Meetings Monthly board meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month, except in the summer, when the meetings start at 9:00 p.m. The location is subject to change; however, most meetings are held at the Maple Grove Community Center. 6

21 BASEBALL RESOLUTION PROCEDURES FOR ALL AGE GROUPS UMPIRE S GOALS It will be the goal of every umpire to know the rules and be fair in all decisions. The umpire shall call them as he/she sees them and NOT be afraid to correct any mistakes in an effort to make the right call. Each umpire will treat all coaches, players and fans courteously with respect and expect the same. The game is for the players, and the umpires will do everything possible to let them have the spotlight, and keep the game as professional as possible. QUESTIONABLE CALLS DURING THE GAME: All calls by the game umpire shall be considered final. (NO EXCEPTIONS)! Any questions regarding a judgment call will NOT be subject for review! Any possible rule violations shall be directed in a professional manner to the umpire at the game. The coach must show in writing, via the High School Rule Book or approved OMGAA Special rules before the next play begins. Failure to do so will result in having the play stand. The Umpire will then review the rule and determine if a rule has been violated. No Coach will be allowed to have a call reversed. However, if he/she would like the situation reviewed for future games, the following procedure is required: After the game, the Coach should contact the appropriate League Coordinator and/or Umpire Coordinator for that age group. The League Coordinator and Umpire Coordinator will review the situation with the Umpire involved and provide instruction to help in future games to avoid a similar controversy. 19

22 BASEBALL RESOLUTION PROCEDURES FOR ALL AGE GROUPS GAME EJECTION Any coach, player or fan that must be removed from the game due to disruptive conduct will be suspended from the present game. The coach or fan will not be allowed to stay in the park. If this rule is violated, then the current game will be considered forfeiture. ANYONE EJECTED FROM A GAME WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THE TEAM S NEXT GAME. Any coach or player removed from 2 games during the season will NOT be allowed to participate in OMGAA Baseball for the remainder of the season without meeting with the OMGAA board. The board will then listen and consider reinstating them back into the league. All physical violence will result in immediate suspension pending board approval for reinstating. No form of violence, abusive language or intimidation will be tolerated. All ejections must be reported to the umpire coordinator and/or league coordinator immediately. 20

23 TRAVELING PHILOSOPHY "The will to win can not be accomplished without the will to prepare." The OMGAA traveling coaches teach fundamentals to our youth at a more advanced level and accelerated pace. As an association, we want to develop the entire team, not just one or two players. Our coaches constantly have to strike a balance between the accelerated level of the competition and appropriate playing time for our children. To this end, our coaches strive to make sure each child plays in every league and tournament game. Time Cost Support Half of the league games are held in cities within the Twin Cities area. These cities are usually within a 30-minute drive of the Osseo/Maple Grove area. The traveling teams typically play in 3-5 weekend tournaments during the 13- week season. Costs will be somewhat higher than the National and American Leagues due to the quality of the uniforms, equipment needs, and league and tournament fees. Our traveling programs represents our community. We expect them to compete at the highest possible level, while demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship at all times. Junior Traveling Baseball for Ten Fifteen year Olds The player s age as of May 1 st, determines the age group in which they play. However, if they are in the same grade as the next older age group, they can play up with that age group. Games are generally governed by High School Rules, except where modified by an individual league or tournament rule. League games will be played during the week. Traveling teams will play in a minimum of three tournaments. They may also qualify to play in the MSF or USSA State Tournaments, for a total of five weekend tournaments during the thirteen-week season. Some teams may have an opportunity to play in an AAU / USSA Regional or National Tournament. The decision to play in these tournaments will be reached by vote of the parents and coaches of the children on these teams. 21

24 Tryout Requirements and Procedure OMGAA s tryout Requirements and Tryout procedure overview is provided on page 9 of this handbook. The complete policy may be reviewed at Traveling Team Selection When only one traveling team is to be formed, upon completion of the tryout procedure and identification of Locked players, the independent evaluators and the coach, each with equal vote, shall confer to identify the remaining players who will be invited to participate on the traveling team. When both a Traveling A and B team are to be formed, only those players ranked 1 st through 24 th highest, shall be invited to participate in the OMGAA Traveling Program. The Traveling A coach may, at his/her convenience, conduct additional tryouts to select those players from the invited list, along with those players identified as Locked that will compose the Traveling A team. The Traveling B team shall be composed from the remaining invited players not selected for the A team. A list of those players selected for the traveling program, and identified by age group and tryout number only, shall be posted on the OMGAA Web Site within 48 hours after completion of the tryout procedure. Based on their score players not selected for the Traveling Program will be placed in either an American league or National league team.

28 TRAVELING FASTPITCH SOFTBALL OMGAA will provide three programs, a recreational league (refer to page 28) and a summer and fall traveling league. The players age on December 31, will determine which age level she will play at. Traveling League (Summer) There are 5 levels currently being offered; 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U. The 10U typically ranges from ages The number of teams at each level will depend on interest. The traveling league is a more competitive league than the house league; therefore more commitment is required from each player. The number of games played is determined by the number of teams in the league. The teams participate in 3-4 tournaments around the metro area. Play begins in May for the 10U, 12U and 14U leagues and ends in early July. Play begins in June for the 16U and 18U leagues and ends in late July. Girls 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U interested in playing traveling softball must attend the scheduled try-out. Coaches are volunteers and are chosen by the director and members of the board. The teams play in the Suburban Fastpitch League supported by the MSF/MMFL. Fall League Fall softball will be offered beginning in August. It is similar to the summer traveling league with the exception of the number of games and tournaments. More information to follow as it becomes available. TRAVELING FASTPITCH SOFTBALL PROCEDURES Team selections are determined through an OMGAA identified tryout procedure. League games are scheduled as double headers and are played multiple nights per week. Games are five to seven innings, depending on the age level, and governed by the American Softball Association (ASA) rules. Tournament participation is scheduled for weekends throughout the season, two to four tournaments per team, depending upon age level.
