Code of Ethics

The Purpose of PYBSA Code of Ethics is to serve as a guide to behavior for players, parents, spectators, coaches, officials, and board of directors. All persons present at Piqua's Pitsenbarger Baseball Complex during scheduled games are expected to abide by the Code of Ethics and Conduct.

PYBSA Standard Code of Ethics and Conduct

I will remember the purpose of this organization is to implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority. The league will provide a safe, family-friendly environment in which to teach baseball and softball fundamentals to youth in the community.

I will follow all league and association rules as they are written.

I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and board members at all PYBSA functions.

I will place the emotional and physical well-being of the players ahead of any desire to win.

I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all of the players.

I will remember that each child is an individual, recognizing that there is often a large spread between each child’s emotional and physical development.

I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for all players, coaches and fans.

I will provide support for coaches and officials working with the children to provide a positive experience for all.

I understand that there is to be no use of profanity, drugs, alcohol and tobacco products during the games or practices by the coaches, officials,  players or fans unless in designated area’s.

I recognize that I represent the PYBSA organization and will therefore abstain from behavior that would be detrimental to the organization.  I understand that if I violate the code of ethics and conduct that I may be brought before the PYBSA Board or addressed by the Officer of the Day or the umpire.  If found in violation of the Code, I may be ejected from a game, from the park, suspended or relieved of my duties, or face additional penalties.
