Willingly submit to the leadership entrusted with the responsibility of managing, coaching, instructing and developing this team, by following the policies and goals stated in the FCA Baseball Youth Team Code of Character and Conduct. C. Paying the entire amount of my share of the team expenses before the first workout (Player Participant Fee). D. Making my life available for growth through whatever demands and opportunities this team may bring. I am committed to growing in my baseball abilities, personal character and skills for living.

4 Commitment To Youth Team Philosophy (cont d) Further Clarification of the FCA Baseball Youth Team Philosophy: FCA Baseball Youth Teams Are Competitive, Developmental Baseball Teams There is no dichotomy here. The competitive and developmental objectives both drive the overall decisionmaking process. In other words, we are always striving to be competitive ( playing to win ), while simultaneously seeking to develop the players athletically, mentally, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. The important thing to remember is that both the goal of player development and the FCA Baseball definition of being competitive drive the playing line-up decision-making process not a win-this-gamewith-your-athletically-best-nine philosophy. Also, it is important to know that - striving to be competitive has many parts to its definition all centered on how-one-plays-the-game-as-a-player, irrespective of who is in the line-up that game. The FCA Baseball definition of being competitive is the same for the athlete with many outstanding athletic tools, down to the athlete with mediocre or even below average abilities. Therefore, if any athlete does not try to put forth his or her best effort on any given day in the following areas, then FCA Baseball believes that particular athlete is not being competitive. According to FCA Baseball, Being Competitive (which also means Playing to Win ) is defined as follows: To the best of your ability, always trying to approach your workouts, training, practices and competition with the same consistent proper attitudes of: Striving to get the most out of your athletic ability (your maximum athletic potential) Desire, heart & passion Drive & motivation Dedication & commitment Intensity & focus Teachable spirit & willingness to learn Respect and submission to authority Hard work, maximum effort & hustle Enjoyment & fun Encouragement, unity, & teamwork There is no I in Team The team, body, organization is more important than the individual Athletes have a better chance of reaching their full potential when teammates are both positively pushing, coaching and supporting each other Repentance, forgiveness, restoration If players, coaches and parents take on this definition of being competitive, then success and winning will be re-defined. In fact, whether we get the win or the loss in a particular game becomes only one way to measure success. Getting the W is still important for many reasons, but it is not the end-all: Keeps up the team morale Provides the team and players with respect around the league Helps the coaching staff determine what they are doing right or wrong Encourages players & coaches individually and as a team We are still trying to win games, but we are doing it as a team with all of our players competing in the same way as spelled out above in the FCA Baseball being competitive definition. In addition, by the nature of this definition of being competitive, the responsibility now falls upon the players to develop and maintain their competitive mentality. Coaches simply are in place to administrate, instruct, direct, execute the game strategy and hold players accountable to compete in the expected manner. Coaches also are responsible to provide honest, objective input to help the player reach his goals, as well as help them define their goals.

5 Commitment To Youth Team Philosophy (cont d) The Player Development Objective of FCA Baseball Comparable playing time needs to be an emphasis of FCA Baseball Youth Teams, because we need to develop and expose all of our players throughout the entire season. It is impossible to have equal playing time, but comparable is possible and a fair objective. Baseball is unique players can t show their stuff in small amounts. If the entire team of players receives opportunities to grow, develop and improve individually, then the entire team will grow, develop and improve together, as a group. Playing Time Considerations With the exception of injuries and excused absences, playing time will be dependent upon a player s reasonable satisfaction of the above being competitive definition. If a player fails to meet this definition of being competitive, then his playing time will be affected until he changes and improves his attitude and effort. This change or improvement could be the next day, or the same day when there are multiple game opportunities, or the next week. It s up to the player himself. He decides if he is going to be competitive as FCA Baseball has defined it in the above definition. As a result, playing time isn t solely dependent on raw athletic ability, strong baseball tools, perfect performance, etc. Instead, it is determined by the FCA Baseball being competitive definition, coupled with the organizational objective of player development. With the above FCA Baseball Youth Team Philosophy at work, the results could include: Individual athletic skill improvement Positive & healthy team unity and chemistry Potentially, a high winning percentage Character, leadership & life skills development A successful and enjoyable season Additional Team Philosophy Factors that Affect Line-up Decisions: 1. Demonstration of off-season development 2. Effort at practice 3. Pre-game effort 4. Playing the right people, at the right position, at the right time (talent & experience) 5. Using key opportunities to develop players (pitching opportunities, experience in a given position to give us depth, etc.) 6. Timely insertion/relief of players to rest others. (You can't do this unless you do the point above) 7. No player is guaranteed to play every inning of every game 8. NOT - arbitrary insertion of players simply to equalize playing time, but will give comparable playing time (quality playing time against quality opponents)

6 Coaching Philosophy & Commitment The position of coach is very important to the ultimate, overall success of FCA Baseball s Youth Team s goals and objectives, which are spelled out in the Commitment to Team Philosophy and Code of Character & Conduct documents. Due to the increased demand put upon the team in regards to their behavior and style of play, the coaching staff must be ready and eager to model those standards in front of the team on a daily basis. In order to positively impact the baseball world with Biblical-based values and character qualities, it becomes essential to compete in a way that the baseball world understands and accepts (playing to win). However, since we are an FCA Baseball Youth Team, we are playing with more than just winning at stake, so there will be certain practices and philosophies which we will accept and some we will not to enhance the message we are striving to share through our teams. On The Field FCA Baseball believes that we, as a team, represent the God who created us with the baseball abilities and passions that each of us have, so this calls us to a much higher level of performance and behavior. We believe that the best impact is made on those around us through playing, coaching and conducting ourselves at a higher level than our opponent. We are not consumed with wins and losses. But make no mistake we do play to win. In light of this view, we believe that the coaching staff is responsible for all on field actions and reactions, whether spoken or not. Our words and actions can make or break our message of Christ-like character & leadership. Therefore, profanity of any kind will not be tolerated. As an FCA Baseball Youth Team Coach, we need to be an example in all situations, including questioning a call by an umpire or confronting members of the opposing team or fans in an inappropriate manner. This is not to say questioning a call is not permitted. Questioning an umpire about a call is acceptable, but we want to maintain the higher level of sportsmanship. We need to be careful of our words and our attitude behind the questioning. We are not always able to choose our circumstances, but we can choose our response to those circumstances. If this is what we are teaching our players, we need to be able to live it out in front of them in the heat of competition. In order to be consistent throughout the season, the coaching staff will be responsible for implementing the character & leadership principles learned during coach meetings and team talks, making these principles more understandable during practice and game times. In addition, from a Christ-like leadership standpoint, we ask that our coaches be intentional about initiating conversations and relationships with the other coaches and players we compete against, as well as the fans, and in doing so, be an example to our players to initiate in the same manner. Off The Field In an effort to help our players and coaching staff grow during their time with FCA Baseball, we ask that coaches make a committed effort to attend all meetings, team functions, practices and games, and be available for interaction with players and parents on a consistent basis. The players on the team are not only watching you during workouts and games, but they also see your actions away from the field, giving you more opportunities to influence them in a positive way. It s a huge responsibility, but it goes with the territory. Coaches are role models both on and off the field, so everything we do should model Christ-like character and leadership. If we expect our players to grow in these areas of character and leadership, we need to conduct ourselves with class and professionalism in all we do, and be committed to studying and applying these same principles to our individual lives. As mentioned earlier, the goal of FCA Baseball Youth Teams is to positively impact the baseball world with Biblical-based values and character qualities. To do this, it is imperative that we exceed the expectations of all those we come in contact with. We want to be known for our style of play, our message, and our actions both on and off the field. We definitely make it our aim to compete on the highest level possible, while at the same time maintaining our character and positive impact in all situations.

8 Player Code of Character & Conduct The following policies regarding the character & conduct of FCA Baseball Youth Team Members have been established from Biblical principles, based upon years of sports teams experience by FCA Baseball Staff, as well as the numerous national & international sports teams projects directed and coordinated by the organization s director, who served with the Athletes in Action Sports Ministry for 17 years. FCA Baseball believes that the Bible is God s playbook for the game of life, and that it contains relevant and valid guidelines for each of our lives. It is not only important for FCA Baseball Youth Teams to strive for Victory In Competition, but also Victory in Life. Yes, winning is a good and proper goal to have as a team or individual, and we do play to win. However, we feel that the more important victory a person or group of people can attain is the victory that extends beyond our competition and into our everyday lives. FCA Baseball believes this ultimate victory can be attained through the application of God s Playbook (the Bible) to every aspect of our lives, which includes our sports, our personal character and our leadership opportunities. FCA Baseball believes that this youth team and everything involved with it belongs to God, because He is the One who has given us our athletic and coaching abilities. The very least we can do is use these athletic and coaching abilities, and for that matter, all of our gifts & abilities, in a way that demonstrates our thankfulness to God for creating and designing each of us with our very own unique set of talents and individual personalities. The following Code of Character & Conduct for FCA Baseball Youth Teams has been established to help each team member develop into the person he or she was created to be. It is not our expectation that any team member would have already attained these traits. However, it is our desire that team members would strive to grow in each of these areas of character and leadership during their time with the FCA Baseball Youth Team. May God bless you and assist you, as you seek to apply these principles to your athletic training and competition, as well as your everyday life. CHARACTER AND PROPER CONDUCT Actions speak louder than words! HUSTLE at all times during games and practice. Work Hard! Put forth 100% effort all of the time. Do your work with all your heart, strength and mind. Practice Makes Permanent. Preparation Produces Results! Play in such a way that pleases the One who gave you your athletic ability. Stay Focused! Keep your head in the game. Pay attention during practice and games. Have Fun! Enjoy the process. Keep a sense of humor, but know when to be serious. Remember, baseball is a game!

You ve got to have Heart, Desire, Drive, Motivation, Dedication, Intensity. Play the game with Energy & Quickness. Have a little spring & bounce to your game. Be Confident, not cocky.

Some of the greatest impact FCA Baseball Youth Teams have had is in the area of their conduct both on and off the sports field or court. Use Proper Communication both on and off the field. Develop communication skills whenever you can. Be Respectful of: Umpires, Coaches, Teammates, Opposing Team Members, Parents and The Game Itself.

Be Positive not negative, critical or judgmental. Develop a THANKFUL HEART. Appreciation and thankfulness are the responsibility of each team member. Be a Team Player not an Individual. o Focus on stats for the good of the team, not yourself.

You will be Expected to Participate with the FCA Baseball Youth Team as much as possible during all sports and non-sports functions, including special team-building events, team meetings and socials unless approved by your team leadership. ENCOURAGE your teammates and your opponents. Expect Errors, Mistakes & Failure, but don t be satisfied with it strive for perfection and excellence. Remember baseball and life are difficult games to master. It s a process and nobody is perfect. Extend yourself some grace in failure, don t let it get you down or discouraged. Get right back up and be ready to go after the next one, competitively and with the proper intensity! Try to reduce the amount of physical errors during a game and set a goal to make even fewer mental errors. This is a good goal for life, too! Seek to improve as a player and person. Be a Learner! Try to learn something everyday, in every game, at every practice session and in every circumstance win or lose good or bad easy or difficult. It will be necessary for you to Maintain a Teachable Heart, and to humbly and faithfully fulfill the responsibilities assigned to you. Demonstrate Class at the end of a game in both victory and defeat shake hands, look the opposing team members in their eyes, and keep your head up high because of the effort you put forth. Safety needs to be a top priority: o For your personal protection, if at all possible, make an effort to be with at least one other teammate when you go to the concession stand, restroom, or just walking around a sports complex (use The Buddy System for young teams). o All injuries, illnesses and emergencies must be reported IMMEDIATELY to the coaching staff. o Stay alert, use common sense, and make good decisions and choices.

10 Parent Code of Conduct The following policies regarding the conduct of FCA Baseball Youth Team parents are being established in support of the Player Code of Character & Conduct. We need parental support and participation as we seek to develop quality young men from boys through the game of baseball. In consideration for your support of this Parent Code of Conduct, you can expect the coaching staff to abide by FCA Baseball s coaching policies and youth team philosophy. Some of these players will soon be in a position to try out for high school baseball teams, or they are hoping to play in college somewhere. They need to understand that playing time, positions played, athletic ability, effort, attitude, development and discipline are all key ingredients in how the coaching staff will determine the roster prior to, and during, any game. PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT & SUPPORT Be supportive of, and reinforce all elements of the player Code of Character and Conduct on and off the field. Don t complain about things! You would be surprised as to what trickles down from you to your child. Even though they don t listen to us many times, that s only selective listening. Umpire calls The weather Field & facility conditions Coaches decisions Game circumstances Coaches on opposing teams Playing time If you have a complaint or problem with anyone on the coaching staff of this team, go to that person directly and work it out. Do not let things build up. If you have concerns regarding the team and how it s being run, bring them to one of the coaches or to the coaching staff. Please let the coaches instruct, position players, and handle the running of the game. Many times we use signals to set up defensive situations or possible plays, so we don t necessarily want to broadcast where we ve positioned players. INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT The following behaviors will not be tolerated: Allowing a player to leave the dugout or bench to sit with you (except in emergency situations). Send him back to the dugout. Be sure to provide him with ample fluids and snacks to sustain him throughout the game. Questioning playing time. Get used to this. High School coaches are not receptive to parent interference in the running of their teams. Use of crude, profane or vulgar language. Outward displays of displeasure with the officials. Consumption of alcohol and/or drugs. Critical, judgmental, or negative talk directed toward teammates and opposing team members. CONSEQUENCES FOR THE ABOVE ACTIONS Most often, you will be asked by the head coach or someone on the FCA Baseball Leadership Team to stop the inappropriate behavior.. In some cases, particularly if you have offended an official or disrespected a coach, you will be requested to leave the field area. If you do not cease from the behavior or refuse to leave the field area when asked, your son may be pulled out of a game, temporarily suspended from participating in future games and other team activities, or possibly even dismissed from the team. These decisions are at the discretion of the FCA Baseball Leadership Team. If you are dismissed from the team for a Parent Code of Conduct violation, you will be responsible for any additional costs, and NO refunds will be given.
