Dugout Policies and Procedures
Dugout Policies and Procedures
Sandlot bees 2016
I follow the 24 hour rule. I will be more than happy to talk with any player or parent one on one, but I request a 24 hour time period pass between an incident and talking to the coach. I have an open door policy. If you would like to talk to me about your playing time, position, order in the lineup, how to improve etc feel free to do so. However, before a game or during the game is not a good time to do that. Please use practice, or after the game to talk to me about any of the above. You can also email me at caseyturnbaugh@gmail.com or casey.turnbaugh@dcsdk12.org You can also call me any time at 303-416-0896
There are excused and unexcused absences. Coach will be the judge as to whether or not the reason for the absence is excused or not. If you have any question about what constitutes an excused or unexcused absences make sure you check with coach at least a week before the absences. For every unexcused absences from practice or a game a player will set out an entire game. If the absences excused the player will not start, to be fair to those who were at practice. After the 3rd unexcused absence the player will be removed from the team. Spring break vacations are not considered excused absences. .
1. All players are inside the dugout. Only the designated players outside of the dugout.
2. All equipment inside the dugout. Baseball bags can be left outside of the field.
2A. All fieldwork and field preparation will be completed as a team. Players are not to take care of their personal equipment until all of the field and field prep are complete. Players will remove all personal items from the dugout after the end of game or practice meeting. Players will put personal belongings on the grass in front of the dugout, then proceed to complete all field work and field prep. Take pride in your facilities.
3. Once a relief pitcher, hitter or position player is told to warm-up, he does so immediately.
4. Each player should place his glove and cap in a designated spot in the dugout where his teammate knows where it is. That’s so he can pick him up (take his glove/cap to him) if he is left on base to end an inning.
5. No player is allowed to leave the dugout area to talk with a fan, friend or family member unless given permission by the coach. If permission is given (in rare cases), keep the conversation short and brief.
5A. Parents, family members, pitching coaches, hitting coaches, fielding coaches, mental coaches, etc are not to have conversations with players during the game at any time. If anyone would like to give advice to a player please wait until after the game away from the ballpark.
6. During the National Anthem, each player and coach will stand at attention. Absolutely no talking or fooling around.
7. Designated players will be asked to chart pitches, warm-up pitchers between innings and in the bullpen, gather baseballs between innings from the inf. and the OF, play catch with the OF between innings, CHASE FOUL BALLS, checking opponents signals, watching if opposing runners touch bases, etc…
8. Any derogatory remarks to opposing players will not be tolerated.
9. The coaches will handle any arguments or altercations with the umpires. No derogatory remarks will be directed to the umpires.
10. Under no circumstances will you make gestures or verbal comment to the crowd or individuals that might show disrespect toward you or your teammates. Ignore these people or the situation that might occur.
11. It is important that you keep your composure at all times. You must maintain control of your emotions and your actions.
12. Absolutely no equipment will be thrown or tossed (bats, helmets, gloves, etc…) out of frustration. Immediate benching of the player involved will take place.
13. No eating of any kind in the dugout or playing area unless approved by coaches.
14. When we come in from the field, all players will run at just less than top speed and meet with the coaches (if requesting to do so) before going into the dugout. Only the lead-off hitter will proceed to the dugout.
15. When we take the field at the beginning of an inning, all players will run just less then top speed out to their position.
16. It is the responsibility of each player in the dugout to promote a positive attitude and create support at all times. Be energetic and provide support and enthusiasm for your teammates.
17. Make sure that your bag and or other equipment is tucked away to prevent others from tripping over your stuff. Make sure there is a pathway to walk in the dugout.
18.) Be aware of your body language. One of the hardest jobs in baseball is sitting the bench. Put the TEAM first and be a good teammate. The same body language rule applies to those that are playing in the game. Learn to deal with both the good and the bad that this game offers. If your body language indicates to us that your head is no longer in the game or that you’ve lost confidence….we will make a change in the line-up.
19.) Sportsmanship: When shaking hands at the end of a game, be a gracious winner and a gracious loser.
20.) Keep your jersey tucked in before you get on the field and don’t untuck it until you have left the field. Hats are not meant to be worn backwards. I do not want to ever see one of my baseball players wearing their hat on backwards. That goes for on the field, at school, or in the community. I am very old fashioned when it comes to the proper way of wearing a baseball hat.
Player development is our #1 goal. All players will play this year regardless of skill level, however there is no guarantee for the amount of playing time for any player
