Code of Conduct Indoor 2024-25

CODE OF CONDUCT 2024/25
INDOOR BALL
The atmosphere is different from summer slo-pitch. There is only one division
made up with players of different athletic abilities be it hitting, catching or running.
The players who sign up are there because they have heard how much fun it is and
the comradery amongst the players. Winning is secondary to having a good time
playing a game that we love. Players know that they will not be yelled at or
berated for mistakes that they make, by fellow players. Players are encouraged not
to discourage when they make an error(s), fail to hit in key situations or make base
running blunders. Players are treated fairly and respectfully by fellow players.
Negative behaviour towards any player will be dealt with swiftly and immediately
by your friendly co-convenors.
We will have two volunteer umpires and their call right or wrong is final. If you
think that an umpire missed a call, keep it to yourself. Negative behaviour towards
an umpire will not be tolerated and is not acceptable. Once again, the co-convenors
will take the action necessary to convince you that your behaviour is not conducive
to displaying good sportsmanship. Players are playing indoor ball due to its
relaxed atmosphere and being active in the winter months. As stated previously,
winning is secondary, having fun and enjoying the camaraderie with fellow players
is primary.
We expect that anyone playing indoor winter ball agrees with the above principles
and agrees to abide by them, and will always display good sportsmanship-not to do
so goes against the spirit of indoor ball.
