Red Sox Foundation R.B.I. 2018 Rules & Scorebook RED SOX FOUNDATION R.B.I. 2018 RULES & SCOREBOOK Special thanks to Copy Makers Inc. RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES RBI OVERVIEW The Red Sox Foundation’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) is the recreational cornerstone program aimed at inner-city boys and girls. To the Foundation, RBI is more than simply increasing the participation in baseball and softball in the neighborhoods we serve. It’s about coming together as a team, encouraging school attendance and achievement, developing self-esteem and life skills, promoting positive attitudes, instilling values of teamwork, tolerance, and teaching safe and healthy choices to at-risk youth. RBI emphasizes the importance of good decision-making through development of good nutrition, leadership, respect for others, nonviolent conflict resolution, and an overall commitment to one’s potential and to the community. Organized and operated by the official team charity of the Boston Red Sox, the Foundation’s RBI program serves approximately 700 inner-city boys and girls, aged 9-18, in 13 neighborhoods including Allston, Brighton, Dorchester, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Mission Hill, the North and South Ends, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston, and West Roxbury. With many neighborhoods plagued by high crime, gang activity, and youth violence, we encourage RBI players to stay in school and resist drugs, alcohol, violence, and other damaging influences in their lives while providing a safe and vital alternative. The Red Sox Foundation is proud to fund the RBI program in its entirety without support from MLB. Our youth are the future and we understand the importance of providing a program that delivers on their needs as well as provides a safe and fun extra-curricular activity. As participation across the nation in youth baseball and softball decline, the Red Sox Foundation continues to engage the inner-city youth in our area while facilitating high-quality, outcome-driven opportunities and focusing on our own community needs. 3 | P a g e RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES TABLE OF CONTENTS RBI Overview 3 RBI League Code of Ethics 5 Red Sox Foundation RBI Baseball & Softball Code of Ethics 7 2016 Levels of Competition & Age Verification 10 Red Sox Foundation RBI Baseball & Softball General Body Rules 11 Baseball League Rules 13 Softball League Rules 15 RBI Request for Transfer Form 19 RBI Transfer Release Form 20 RBI Fields 21 Scorebook Pages 28 4 | P a g e RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES RBI LEAGUE CODE OF ETHICS FOR COACHES AND LEAGUE AFFILIATES PURPOSE The purpose of RBI is to maintain and promote the teaching of fundamentals, sportsmanship, character, and appropriate behavior to all participants. The Code of Ethics is to insure that emphasis is placed on motivation and development of the total individual and not on winning. THE CODE Youth and adults connected with the RBI League are “living heroes.” Their actions will affect hundreds of players; therefore, it is imperative that those connected with the League always engage in conduct that is representative of the League. C1. Under no conditions should anyone “curse out” a player on or off the field. This is not our right. Explain rather than complain. C2. Under no conditions swear, commit, or imply vulgar action or motion. C3. Do not bait or ride umpires, opposing players, managers, and coaches. Appropriate conduct should prevail. The manager may inquire as to the nature or interpretation of a rule, but after an explanation, there should be no further questions or actions. C4. Do not “rid” or belittle the opposition. We are building character and togetherness. C5. Please refrain from smoking at all practices and during games. C6. Do not use words of instruction to a player or a team which are disrespectful, malicious or defamatory, such as “go in with high spikes,” take them out,” “throw at his head” etc. C7. Do not drink any alcoholic beverages or be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at any time in the presence of players or in any context involving the League. C8. Speak in the collective about a game. Use as examples: “The team won” or “We won.” All victories are team victories and team spirit should be exhibited at all times. C9. Never use a player who has been injured until you are certain that the player have fully recovered. If a player has been injured, be certain that the player is fully recovered before he/she plays. C10. All teams should play every player in as much of every game as possible. 5 | P a g e RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES C11. Do everything possible to ensure that playing RBI is a rewarding experience for the players. ENCOURAGE YOUR PLAYERS TO BE GOOD SCHOLARS AND EQUALLY GOOD CITIZENS. C12. Make certain that managers, coaches, and your team shake hands with the opposing team before and after each game. C13. Never make a statement that constitutes a racial slur or that is demeaning to any person. Encourage respect and tolerance of all people. C14. Never let your personal desire to win take precedence over the RBI Code of Ethics. C15. Do not hesitate to remind others of the RBI Code of Ethics and do not be offended when you are reminded. C16. All use of tobacco products and smokeless tobacco are prohibited on all City of Boston Park’s premises as mandated by the City of Boston’s Parks and Recreational Department. LEAGUE OBLIGATIONS TO THE CODE CO1. Make certain that umpires, managers, coaches, players, and all persons affiliated with your league are fully aware of and comply with the RBI Code of Ethics. CO2. Publicize the RBI Code of Ethics as Major League Baseball commitment and review periodically the RBI League’s progress towards its full implementation. CO3. Demonstrate leadership by working actively with RBI League commissioners and teams to resolve problems and challenges facing the League. CO4. Communicate to the various communities from which teams are organized the need for them to become involved and make them aware of the RBI league’s efforts. CO5. RBI recognizes its obligation and responsibilities to each team. To this end, the RBI League and others in a position to influence the thinking of individuals should work to achieve adherence to the Code of Ethics. 6 | P a g e RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI BASEBALL & SOFTBALL LEAGUES CODE OF ETHICS FOR PLAYERS, COACHES, FANS AND ALL OTHERS ASSOCIATED WITH RBI Talking back to the umpire results in removal from this game and being ineligible for the next game. Swearing will initially result in a warning, if continued the individual will be ejected from the game. Vulgar or inappropriate actions will initially result in a warning, if continued the individual will be ejected from the game. Taunting will initially result in a warning, if continued the individual will be ejected from the game. Teasing will initially result in a warning, if continued the individual will be ejected from the game. The consumption of alcohol before, during or after games and practices results in a two game suspension, with review by Red Sox Foundation staff and RBI Commissioners. Smoking or use of tobacco and the use of unlawful or non-prescription drugs before during or after games or practices results in a two game suspension, with review by Red Sox Foundation staff and RBI Commissioners. Use of other drugs before, during, or after games and practices result in a two game suspension, with review by Red Sox Foundation staff and RBI Commissioners. Carrying weapons at practices or games will result in suspension for the season. There is zero tolerance for violations. Gambling, in particular betting on RBI games will result in a two game suspension with review by Red Sox Foundation staff and RBI Commissioners. Playing for RBI is a privilege-not a right. Players or coaches who disrespect the rules will be asked to leave a game, part of the season, a full season or RBI altogether. Prior involvement in RBI does not guarantee future involvement. Doing something that jeopardizes the safety of others will result in a warning or ejected from the game, as the umpire or coach deems appropriate. Additional penalties may result after review by Red Sox Foundation staff and RBI Commissioners. 7 | P a g e RED SOX FOUNDATION RBI 2018 RULES FOR PLAYERS (The following rules are in addition to the Code of Ethics above.) Players are ineligible to play if they fail to attend RBI meetings and life skills training. Every player must be in full uniform for the entire game, if not a warning will be issued, and if not corrected the player will be removed from the game. Players should learn to win and lose with dignity. After every game all players must shake hands respectfully. If not, coaches and players may receive sanctions against them, which may include suspension. No fighting. If you fight, you are permanently out of the league. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PREVENT A TEAMMATE FROM GETTING INTO A FIGHT. Players must be in 50% of their team’s games in order to participate in the playoffs. FOR COACHES Each coach must sign an informed letter of commitment to abide by the Boston RBI Code of Ethics and the National RBI rules. (See Red Sox Foundation Agreement form) All coaches and the Red Sox Foundation RBI Personnel must submit to annual CORI and SORI review by the Boston Police Department and Red Sox Foundation. Coaches must attend all life skills training, or other related official coaches training if available, to be eligible to coach Inappropriate touching of players will be brought to the attention of Red Sox Foundation Staff and RBI Commissioners and dealt with accordingly.

  • Jackson Square Transit-Oriented Improvement Recommendations I
    Jackson Square Transit-Oriented Improvement Recommendations Draft for Discussion, Revised May 7, 2003 Approved by JCG Site Planning Committee I. Overview of Transportation in Jackson Square The Jackson Square Coordinating Group (JCG) is producing planning and development guidelines for an area within a 1/4 mile radius of the Jackson Square MBTA Station. This section provides an overview of transportation issues in this part of the City of Boston. Jackson Square Coordinating Group Consensus on Transportation The Jackson Square Coordinating Group (JCG) was formed in June 1999, building on earlier planning work. A series of community meetings and charrettes were held and attended by hundreds of people. A final report, Putting the Pieces Together, was issued in July 2001. That report summarizes the final charrette of February, 2001, and contains the following statements: “In the spring of 2000, over 800 residents including youth from Roxbury and Jamaica Plain gathered at more than 80 community meetings to discuss Jackson Square… A clear majority … expressed … a preference for development that does not increase car traffic, but instead encourages alternatives such as walking and using public transportation.” (p.2-1) “The current traffic patterns present a barrier between neighborhoods and split the community in half. Charrette participants clearly communicated a strong desire to reduce the traffic load on Columbus Ave., thereby helping to re-knit the urban fabric.” (p.3-5) “The scale of Columbus Avenue generates a physical barrier that can be addressed by new development of the area. Many residents see the potential for creating connections by reducing traffic and creating a pedestrian environment in an area that is currently dominated by vehicular traffic.
