1.  Teach good fundamental baseball. Winning is the result, not the emphasis.

​

2.  Always run a class act. Credibility is key. Walk the talk.

​

3.  Take pride in the Reds organization and what you are trying to accomplish. The organization comes first over any individual team. Strength in unity.

​

4.  Constantly look to improve in all areas. The Reds is a great organization, but we need to continue to strive to improve.

​

5.  Provide each team with the best and safest equipment we can.

​

6.  Good sportsmanship. No public display of poor sportsmanship and/or frustration.

• Absolutely no helmet and/or bat tossing by a player.

• Only positive comments from parents and players—no negative comments directed at teams, players, or umpires.

• Win in a quiet and confident manner. Act professional, eliminate revenge, and in-your-face demonstrations.

• Absolutely no arguments with umpires.

• Let the coaches do their jobs. Please no parent-coaching during games. The “Pizza Rule” applies.

​

7.  Players must be neat at all times. Players require a complete and appropriate clean uniform at all times. Shirts are to be tucked in and neat.

​

8.  Make an impact on the quality of baseball in all games and tournaments. Set a good example, raise the bar.

​

9.  Have at least one boy who has played with the Reds go on to play Major League Baseball. The Ultimate Goal!

​

10.  Winning shows a lot about a person’s character and losing shows it all. Learn from both losses and mistakes.
