GYB Bylaws and Rules
GYB Bylaws and Rules
Revised 02/13/08 - Includes recent changes from Feb. 2008 Meeting.

GYB Coaches Code of Ethics
  • I hereby pledge to live up to responsibility as a GYB coach by following the GYB Coaches Code of Ethics.
  • I will place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win.
  • I will treat each player as an individual, remembering the large range of emotional and physical development for the same age group.
  • I will do my best to provide a safe playing situation for my players.
  • I will promise to review and practice the basic first aid principles needed to treat injuries of my players.
  • I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players.
  • I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players.
  • I will provide a sports environment for my team that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and I will refrain from their use at all baseball events.
  • I will be knowledgeable in the rules of baseball, and I will teach these rules to my players.
  • I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for each of the skills that I teach.
  • I will remember that I am a youth baseball coach, and that the game is for children and not adults.
  • I understand that I may be the assistant coach on more than one team, but can be the head coach of only one team.
  • I understand that I may be required to attend coaching clinics and will do my best to attend these sessions.
  • I further understand that a record of my coaching history will be maintained by the GYB and that this record will be considered when the Board of Directors selects coaches.

Rainouts / Inclement Weather

When rainouts occur and fields are closed, GYB is utilizing three methods of notification:

1.  Website posting - on home page; top of page

2.  Sending e-mails to Head Coaches

3.  Rainout information on GYB phone; 817-329-5505

Please be aware that these methods of notification are made available depending on if the Volunteer Board member is at his/her desk to be able to initiate the message (notwithstanding meetings, taking a child to the doctor, etc).  We will try our best to make all three options available; however, it is recommended to not rely on only one method of notification.

Additional information regarding rainout on GYB phone:  coaches may call 817-329-5505 for rainout information. The message is usually updated by 4:00 pm on weekdays and 8:00 am on the weekends.

This number is for coaches only. Our lines cannot support the capacity if everyone calls at the same time. Please check the website for current weather information. When it rains and the fields are closed, no one is allowed within bounds of the fenced area of each ball field. If we receive rain and the sun comes out, it does not mean the fields are open. Please use the rainout number or check the website.

If you want to use the facilities (batting cages, pitching areas) while the fields are closed, you may do so.



Field Closures - Field Prep

Parks and Recreation tries to prep the fields and get them ready for GYB's use during the week.  Prepping the fields on the weekend is the responsibility of GYB.

When the fields are closed on Friday, WE, GYB can work the fields (rakes, tractor, mule, chalker, etc.) Friday evening to have the fields prepped and ready to play games Saturday morning - pending any weather and/or sprinkler issues.

Regarding field closures decided by Parks and Rec during the week:  after the decision is made that they can't get the fields into a safe and playable condition, the fields are closed.

If the decision is made by Parks and Rec that the fields are playable during the week, the Parks & Rec staff typically extends their workday past their usual 3:30 PM quit time to prep the fields if needed.

Please remember, THEY DO NOT JUST TEND TO THE BASEBALL FIELDS USED BY GYB; THEY TEND TO ALL GVPRD FACILITIES.

Please communicate with those who play on "your field(s)" and work together to get it done.
