Rules for Managers
Amesbury Girls Youth Softball League
- No profanity will be allowed by any manager or coach during games, practices of
any other league activity. This is mandatory while in the presence of players or
parents for the good of the AGYSL and the values that we are trying to instill in the
players.
- No Manager or Coach may participate in any game, practice or activity of the
AGYSL while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- NO SMOKING will be allowed during games, practices or any other league
function.
- Managers and Coaches must make every effort to never embarrass a player.
- Managers may suspend a player for reason of misconduct or behavior
detrimental to the team.
- If a Manager or Coach is ejected from a game for any reason, he/she will be
suspended for the next game as well. A suspended Manager of Coach is
required to meet with the Board of Directors prior to returning to the next game.
- Any Manager or Coach may be dismissed by the Board of Directors for conduct
that is detrimental to the AGYSL.
- Managers are responsible for notifying players of practice or game cancellations
at the earliest possible time.
- Managers and Coaches will control their respective teams from verbally abusing
or harassing other teams or players. They will also be responsible for the
conduct of parents and must monitor parents and spectators so as not to disrupt
the playing of the game.
- Managers (or, in the manager's absence, the Coaches) are the only person to
dispute a rule interpretation with the umpire. At no time will a manager, coach or
umpire become verbally abusive. Only Managers will be able to file a protest on
a rule interpretation, not on a judgment call, with the Umpiring Chief.
- Assistant Coaches will be appointed by the Manager (but must be approved by
the Board of Directors) after the draft to eliminate automatic appointment of
players to a particular team.
- Managers and Coaches should be properly attired at all League games or
functions. Clothing cannot display or promote alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or
violence. Clothing cannot have any pictures, emblems or writing that is offensive,
lewd, vulgar or obscene.
- Every effort should be made by managers and coaches to help the League in all
functions. If managers do not comply with this regulation, they will not be
considered for a Manager's position in the following season.
- Managers are required to attend every meeting that they are notified of. If they are
unable to attend, they should have a team representative (ie - Coach or parent)
