PARENT & PLAYER AGREEMENT 

​

This is an Agreement to participate in a competitive baseball program. By signing this Agreement you are consenting to be bound by the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the requirement to pay fees associated with participation in the program as listed on this website.

​

TIBURONES Baseball strives to provide opportunities for higher skill-level development, competition, and commitment to the game of baseball. Participation in the team requires commitment and dedication from all participants and parents. As a member of Tiburones Baseball, my player and I will abide by the following rules and requirements:

• Make all reasonable effort to be on time and attend scheduled events including practices, games, and tournaments.

• Provide coaches with advance notice if unable to attend an event.

• Treat teammates, coaches, umpires, and opponents with respect at all times as outlined in the Tiburones Baseball Code of Conduct.

• Come prepared with a good attitude ready to work hard and have fun.

​

All decisions regarding playing time, playing position(s), and any other aspect of competition are made at the sole discretion of the team coach. If you have questions with respect to these items, you can request a discussion with the team coach. All decisions made by the coach regarding playing time and position(s) are final. No player or parent is entitled to a certain minimum or equal amount of playing time or entitled to play any particular position. All decisions made by the coach(es) will be based upon his or her judgement about what is best for the team given the circumstances such as league play versus competition, playoff game versus pool play, injuries, etc. Playing time is determined by attendance, attitude, effort, performance, athlete potential, current team need, future team need, and is left solely to the discretion of the coach. Coaching decisions are not up for debate or question. It is the athlete’s responsibility to ask the coach how they can improve to get more playing time. Players will be expected to play any position to benefit team performance and personal growth.

​

Absent in case of an emergency, you must inform your coach if you are going to miss practice or a league game. Absent in a non-emergency, if you are not going to be able to participate in a tournament, you must notify the coach at least THREE weeks in advance. A certain minimum number of players is required to play in leagues and tournaments. If a player fails to show up to play when planned upon, then that adversely impacts the team’s ability to participate in events and may necessitate getting guest players. Prior notice is key to accommodating these situations. There is no credit or refund for missing a tournament, game, or other event.

​

Termination of Membership

It is understood that players and/or parents may decide not to continue play with Tiburones Baseball. Issues may arise at different times because of many reasons such as, but not limited to, a family moving, player injury, or joining a different team. Such a decision or event does NOT relieve the parent from the financial responsibility agreed upon under this Agreement. By signing this Agreement you are making a commitment with other members of the team to share in associated costs and fees for participating in different events. These events require payment up front and are non-refundable to the team. Your decision to terminate your participation with Tiburones Baseball is a voluntary choice and the balance of your fees will be due according to this Agreement and outlined on this website. You are required to pay all fees including tournaments reguardless of whether or not you playing.

​

These must be accomplished according to dates requested on this website. Payments can be made through the website store.

​

In the event your account becomes delinquent, you agree to pay all past due fees and any acquired collection fees, court costs, and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

CODE OF CONDUCT

​

You and your child are choosing to participate in the Tiburones Baseball program designed to train and develop young athletes. Baseball, especially Tiburones Baseball, is meant to be fun, challenging, and full of opportunities to grow, interact positively with others, and learn habits to be successful, both on and off the baseball field.

​

Actions by parents, fans, players, coaches, and spectators will have a profound influence on children and others. Many children are quitting baseball today because much of the fun is taken away by adults. Your role as a participant with Tiburones Baseball has a significant impact on the organization and those involved and, most importantly, on the children who participate. Children are always watching and taking notice of our actions, words, and behaviors for better or for worse.

​

The following standards of behavior, which will be implemented immediately, must be understood, accepted, and adhered to for participation in the program:

​

• I will do my best to make baseball fun and fulfilling for my child.

• I, as well as my guests, will exhibit good sportsmanship at all times by positively supporting all players, coaches, umpires, league & tournament officials, and other parents at all trainings, practices, and games.

• I, as well as my guests, will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any players, coaches, umpires, league & tournament officials, or other parents such as, but not limited to: taunting, booing, refusing to shake hands, verbally or physically making threats, or using profane language or gestures.

• I will keep winning in its proper perspective understanding that the development and confidence of young athletes is much more important than the outcome of a game or tournament. The focus should always be on training and practice to promote development, discipline, and determination to improve.

• I will promote a sports environment that is conducive to health and training success. Healthy habits lead to better training and success on and off the field. This includes proper sleep and rest as well as a healthy diet. There is zero tolerance for players using substances while participating with Tiburones Baseball.

• I will promote and establish a positive student athlete balance for my child. Academics are vital to success on and off the field and deserve the necessary time and effort to be successful. Success in the classroom translates to success while training, practicing, and on the field.

• I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.

• I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, parents, fans, umpires, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability.

• I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of the athletes.

• I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the leagues or tournaments entered. I will teach my child to play within those rules and to resolve conflicts respectfully, without resorting to hostility or violence.

• I, as well as my guests, will respect the coaches and their authority during games. I will not confront coaches on the playing or practice field, in the dugout, or in front of players or other parents.

• I will wait 24 hours after a game, practice, or event where concerns or conflicts arise to request a discussion with a coach. If, after that time period a discussion is still desired, the request should first be directed to Coach Chales Dasni.

• I, as well as my guests, will accept all decisions of umpires and league/tournament officials as being fair and judged with the best of their ability, regardless of whether I agree with the call or decision.

• I will not post or comment on any posts any negative, passive aggressive words or information on social media, websites, or communication platforms that reference other players, coaches, parents, teams, or organizations.
