It is the goal of the Bakersfield SouthWest Baseball (BSWB) League to provide a positive and constructive environment for all participants. As Parents/Fans you are an integral part of that environment. It is our desire that all BSWB games and activities are enjoyable for all involved.

As a PARENT/FAN of the Bakersfield SouthWest Baseball (BSWB) League, I agree to the following Code of Conduct:

1.)  I will treat all participants with respect, being positive and constructive at all times to all players and coaches.  I will not use abusive language or actions and will control my anger at all times.

2.)  I will treat all umpires with respect, recognizing that they are volunteers or young adults, and that baseball rules involve judgment.  I will not openly criticize the umpires during the course of the game but will instead, address my concerns to the Division Director.

3.)  If I have concerns about players, coaches, umpires, fields or any other aspect of BSWB, I will direct them to the Division Director away from the field.

4.)  I will cheer positively providing encouragement for members of both teams.

5.)  During the game I will remain in the stands, away from the dugouts, and off of the field unless requested by the coach to give assistance to an injured player.

6.)  I will support my child's commitment to his team by assuring his/her regular attendance at practices and games.

7.)  I will abide by the Good Neighbor Policy, parking only in approved areas at all fields.

8.)  I will not smoke* or use any tobacco products (including chew, patches, etc.), or drink alcoholic beverages at the fields. (*note – includes all “e-cig” products.)
