Team expecations

1. Conduct & Behavior

   • You are expected to conduct yourself in a first-class manner at all times—whether in the high school, locker room, on the bus, on the field, or anywhere we travel as a team.

2. MSHSL Rules & Regulations

   • You must abide by all MSHSL rules regarding alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Violations will not be tolerated.

3. Team Attitude & Responsibility

   • Participation on the baseball team is a privilege, and a positive team attitude is essential:

     • Refrain from swearing at all times.

     • Maintain emotional control and demonstrate good sportsmanship.

     • Long pants and a shirt are required at all practices.

4. Locker Room, Bus, & Equipment

   • Clean up after yourself in the locker room and on the bus.

     • No horseplay is allowed in the locker room or on the bus.

     • Remove baseball cleats before entering the school building or locker room after a game or practice.

     • You are responsible for all equipment issued to you.

     • All players are expected to help put equipment away after practices and games.

5. Communication & Attendance

   • Communication is vital for a successful season. If you will be absent or late for practice, you must personally speak to a coach in person or by phone before the scheduled practice.

     • It is your responsibility to inform the coaches—not a teammate’s.

     • No excuses will be accepted for being late unless prior notice is given or in the case of an extreme emergency.

     • No player may leave practice or a game early without prior approval from the coaches.

     • Attendance at every practice, game, and team meeting is expected.

     • All players must ride the team bus unless prior arrangements have been made with a coach for a ride with a parent.

6. Injury Reporting

   • All injuries must be reported to the coaches immediately so proper treatment can be provided as soon as possible.

By following these expectations, we ensure a disciplined, respectful, and successful baseball season. Let’s work together to represent Jefferson Baseball with pride!
