Parents and Fans
Thanks for all your support for NESLL baseball and softball, and especially for coming out to the field and cheering on your team and all the players from every team. Here are a couple reminders for parents and fans to ensure that NESLL games are fun for all:
· Be a positive role model during games and at all NESLL events.
· Always be positive and enthusiastic.
· Show your child positive reinforcement.
· Be curteous and positive with every child on both teams. Do not make negative comments about any player - they are only children doing the best they can and they need your support.
· Encourage your child toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship.
· Teach your child to always play by the rules.
· Teach your child that a best effort is more important than a win.
· Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team.
· Let the managers and coaches do the coaching.
· Let the umpire be the umpire.
