Expectations and Rules for Our Coaches:

Our aim is to develop young men with sound values, competitive spirit, great work ethic and fundamental baseball skills. Coaches will, at all times, have the safety and general well-being of the players in mind. Our coaches will treat the players with respect, deliver constructive criticism, and provide motivation throughout the season.
  • All coaches report directly to the LMYB Executive board. You are not an "independent" team. You represent the Linn-Mar School name and the families that we serve.
  • All coaches are asked to utilize the talents and abilities of everyone associated with their team; this includes parents, board members, and other coaches outside the Lions organization.
  • All coaches are expected to aid other Lions teams and assist with all Lion functions including, but not limited to: tryouts, winter workouts and the Lion tournament.
  • Coaches are to attend board meetings when possible.
  • Coaches will respect umpires, opposing coaches, players and fans.
  • Coaches are not permitted to use alcohol or tobacco during any games or practices.
  • Coaches will only roster players in the Linn-Mar school system
  • Coaches will not tamper, recruit, participate in breaking up teams or attempt to lure players away from their current team (or the LMYB organization). This is enforced in both the LMYB and PST USSSA League Code of Conduct.
  • Coaches are responsible for each other, your players, and (the actions of) your families.
