How exciting this is for you and will be for the young men that you will be guiding during the 2021 campaign! You are the right person at the right time for this baseball instruction and coaching. As a coach, you may think it is your job to make your team the best that they can be. This is right but it is not the only thing that will be on your plate this year. It is your job to make this experience enjoyable, coordinated, orderly, and respectful to all --- players, umpires, and those who watch. Finally, you will stand as a role model for all to see how this game of baseball should be played. The players are looking for your discipline as to how they handle personal and team success as well as the failure that is so much a part of this game. Make this a fun learning experience for your team and most importantly…for yourself. If you are having fun, the players are having fun! I wish you all well and “Thank You” again for stepping to the forefront to being a BASEBALL COACH! This is a great game and a privilege to be part of it. Remind your players of the reason why they are special: “If this game were easy, everyone would play.” They are playing because they are capable of playing baseball and they love playing it! BLBA VISION STATEMENT Reaching and developing our youth through teamwork, sportsmanship, rules of the game, and character building lessons that reach beyond the baseball field and into our community. BLBA MISSION STATEMENT The Big Lake Baseball Association's Mission is to provide an educational, safe, and fun environment for the youth in Big Lake to play baseball. In support of that mission, BLBA seeks to: *Serve and embrace players of all races, creeds, color, nationality, or ability. *Provide a safe and healthy environment for all players to experience the pure enjoyment of the game. *Help players develop and improve their baseball skills so they can perform at their highest potential. *Create a culture where honor of self, teammates, opponents, officials, and coaches are consistently displayed. *Teach players to understand that the winning of games is secondary to effort and attitude. *Equip our coaches with every necessary means to succeed. PARENT’S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 3 Coach’s Handbook and Scorebook Being involved in BLBA demands time and effort on the part of the parents and/or guardians. Parents, in no small measure, contribute to the success of the baseball program by understanding the requirements of team participation. Some of the things that parents can do to help their child and the team are: • Put the welfare of the team ahead of personal reflected glory • Make sure your player knows that win or lose, you appreciate the effort made. Praise. Don’t criticize. • Accept disappointment gracefully; don’t pass it along to the player or team members. • Learn to know the coach. Discuss your problems or the progress of your player with him at the proper time. The proper time is RARELY right after a difficult defeat or in the company of players and/or other parents. • Appreciate the fact that the coach has the responsibility of an entire team. • Don’t be a chronic complainer. If you are convinced something is wrong on your player’s team, follow the grievance procedure mentioned in this policy manual. • Parents are asked to conduct themselves in a sportsmanship like manner and instill in their players the desire to reflect such sportsmanship. • Parents are responsible for providing or arranging transportation for their players. • Parents are to support the BLBA philosophy of encouraging players to enjoy baseball as a sport and to have fun. Parents that place undue expectations on their players minimize the player’s enjoyment and development in the game of baseball. • Parents are expected to assist the team where needed. This includes field help, or help in the dugout and other requests made by the coach. • The safety of the player is ultimately the responsibility of the parents. If a parent fears injury or observes examples of poor sportsmanship, he/she has the right and responsibility to remove their child from playing under those conditions. • Parents whose conduct reflects negatively on BLBA may be referred to the League Director for discussion and appropriate consequences. • Work your 5 mandatory volunteer hours. CODE OF CONDUCT—PLAYERS • I will not berate the umpires or “trash talk” to my opponent! • I will not use profanity! • I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, contest administrators and umpires at every game. • I will place the emotional and physical well being of my teammates and opponents ahead of my personal desire to win. • I will treat other players, coaches, fans and umpires with respect regardless of race, gender, creed or ability. • I will demand a sports environment that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and will refrain from their use at all games/practices. • I will do my best to remember that youth sports, is supposed to be FUN and that winning and losing are part of everyone’s experience. • I will express my concerns through the proper channels in a dignified manner. • I will respect the volunteers who are assisting with the conduct of these events. • I will respect and adhere to the rules governing eligibility and competition. • I will be committed to my team during the season--being at all practices and games. If I can’t be at a practice or game, I will notify my coach BEFORE this would happen. • I will be on time to games and practices. • I will set a good example at all times, by hustling, giving 100% effort, and be attentive to the coaches. • I will avoid throwing and kicking equipment, complaining about positions I’m put into, and avoid messing around. PLAYING TIME 4 Coach’s Handbook and Scorebook For ages 6-8, teams practice for one half hour and play a game for one hour. During the game, teams will bat their entire order each inning. Players should not be on the bench for more than one inning before returning to the field. It is preferable that players get a chance to play all 9 positions by the end of the season (unless there are left-hand / right-hand issues). For ages 9 through 12, including

    81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book We thank you for your purchase of our Beer Bong. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to provide you this free E-Book loaded with 81 drinking game ideas. This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

  • The Joy of Drinking Games
    Thanks for choosing Perfect Pregame! The nights of wondering what to do as you pregame are over – no more defaulting to Kings or Beer Pong just because you can't remember the rules to any other games. Here are clear and concise directions for games using balls, dice, cards, and wits. Many of these games have different variations in rules and terminology, and the versions here are by no means authoritative. Like any drinking game, they are not meant to be taken too seriously. Have a great time, and use these rules as a starting point. We encourage you to innovate and add your own twists! Drink responsibly - remember that half the fun is knowing your limits and remembering what happened during your epic nights! Table of Contents: • Ball Games: 1 • Dice Games: 7 • Card Games: 12 • Other Games: 18 Ball Games Civil War Civil War is a beer pong variant, but it's a faster paced 3v3 format. Every player has their own rack, and shoots as quickly as possible at their choice of the opposing player's cups. How it Works Two teams of three players face off, with every player having an individual rack of equal size (three, four, six, ten – whatever). There are no turns as in traditional beer pong, any player can shoot at any time. The exception is if one of your cups is made, you must drink before you can shoot again, but you can also pass the ball off to another team member while drinking. Rollbacks of any ball are allowed and don't need to be shot behind the back, but it's usually a good idea to respect the middle of the table line, or else things can get violent or messy.

  • Racing Association Had Awarded the International Regatta in 1907 to Seattle, So the Contest for the Alexandra Cup Was Held There Early in July
    CHAPTER 5 Early International Races SAIL AND POWER As fae as the kecords go, the first international race in which a Vancouver yacht took part was in Bellingham Bay, at Fairhaven, on July 4th, 1891. The local contender was the Siren, a five-ton cutter, 30 feet overall, with 1200 square feet of sail area. She was specifically designed and built by Capt. Billy Watts, founder of Vancouver Shipyard, to outrace all comers. She had her workout in Burrard Inlet on Dominion Day 1891, when Watts outsailed Andy Linton's famous speed queen May, which was skippered by the old maestro, Walter Graveley. So Watts sailed to Bellingham with a crew consisting of J. W. McFie, Dr. Bob Mathison, D. S. McKenzie, Dr. C. H. Gatewood and Jim McKay. At Fairhaven he picked up a local man who knew the tides. The six competing boats included the Ariadne of Herreshoff design, considered the queen of Puget Sound waters. The race started at 10 a.m., with a nice westerly breeze of about ten knots. The first leg, six miles, was sailed with a started sheet. Siren jockeyed herself into the windward berth and boomed off with mainsail, two jibs and a club topsail. "After getting in the lead in the first half mile," Captain Watts recalled many years after, "the lug of the mast band at the shrouds pulled out, so I took in the kites. J. W. McFie, carrying a marlinspike and a piece of new one inch manila, went up that shroud like a cat and had the shroud fastened in less than five minutes.

Meier College of Science and Health Public Health - Community Health Education August, 2010 ii ABSTRACT Meier, K.A. Exploring the prevalence of drinking games and their impact on the health of club sport athletes at The University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. MPH in Community Health Education, August 2010, 91pp. (G.D. Gilmore) The purpose of this study was to first identify which types of drinking games are most prevalent among college club sport athletes at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, and second, determine what health consequences are perceived to occur as a result of participation. The study was descriptive in nature and used a self-reported online questionnaire developed by the researcher to collect quantitative data. All 352 club sport athletes at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse were emailed the survey yielding 105 responses, resulting in a 30% response rate. The results revealed a 39% percent participation rate in drinking games with fellow members of club sport teams, with 17% of all participants being under the age of 21. Respondents reported the major reasons for joining a club team were “to have fun,” “to meet new people/make friends,” and because of a “love of the sport”. The most frequently played type of drinking game was team games (89%).
