SMLLA Disciplinary Policy - DRAFT
San Mateo Little League American Disciplinary Policy Preface Our goal is for the kids of San Mateo Little League American is to have fun and have the ability to play in a safe environment. Every once and a while we experience bad behavior or poor judgment on behalf of a member of our SMLLA community. The following document outlines SMLLA’s disciplinary policies for players, parents, managers, coaches and volunteers. Fun is a concept that is difficult to measure. I think that it is safe to say that positive coaching, learning the fundamentals of baseball and playing teams of similar or like talent helps the child better experience the concept of “Having a Fun Time”.
