Our coaches are expected to be firm but never disrespectful to a player. Coaches will promote a team spirit and do their best to help the players improve their skills. The coaches’ decisions will be made based on what is believed to be the best for the team over what may be best for an individual. It should be understood that our coaches are all volunteers that dedicate significant amounts of personal time to the team. Bulls Policy: Complaints from Parents
Never approach a coach during, before, or after a game because tension will be higher at that time. Any comments or complaints should be discussed with the Head Coach only, and away from the ballpark, away from other parents and certainly not where any players can hear the discussion.
