Umpires are people too! A great reminder from Cartwright Minor Ball that our umpires are learning too. Remember to be kind, always. Your kids are watching.
As our Cartwright Minor Ball season gets underway, we want to remind everyone that many of our umpires are youth who are still learning the game and building confidence. ⚾
Umpires are human. Mistakes will happen, just like they do from players, coaches, and fans. What matters most is creating a positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and enjoy the sport.
The following behaviour will not be tolerated:
• Yelling at or arguing with umpires
• Negative comments from the stands
• Harassment, intimidation, or disrespectful behaviour
• Unsportsmanlike conduct toward players, coaches, volunteers, or officials
Minor ball is meant to be FUN. Let’s work together to model good sportsmanship, encourage all participants, and make the ballpark a positive place for everyone involved.
Thank you for supporting our players, coaches, volunteers, and umpires throughout the season! 💙
