League Philosophy • CCLL strives to instill the virtues of good character in our players: – Sportsmanship – Honesty – Loyalty – Courage – Respect for Authority So that they may be well adjusted, stronger and happier children and will grow to be decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens. 7

League Philosophy • This is LITTLE LEAGUE – MUST Play – Can’t Sit 2 Consecutive Innings. Substitution rule at AAA and below. – Bat the Line-Up – Free Substitutions – PLEASE Move Players Around – Regular Season Games DON’T COUNT – MODEL the Behavior You Want from Your Players – Adults in the Dugout – Manager + Two • Single A and AA – Manager + Three • Rookie – As Many Adults as You Can Recruit & Have Cards! • Don’t be THAT Coach – At the end of this season, we’ll hear about a kid that played outfield all season, never pitched and felt ignored. Think he’ll come back? – Teach the Kids to LOVE Baseball! – If Your Manager Isn’t “Playing Ball,” Let Us Know 8
