Youth, Prep, and Sandlot Legion Baseball competition shall be played under rules set forth and adopted by the PENNSYLVANIA Legion Activities Committee. To be eligible to compete in the PENNSYLVANIA Legion Baseball Program, all Leagues and Teams must abide by these rules. Failure to abide by these rules will result in immediate disqualification. All Leagues will also abide by the Rules of Professional Baseball, except where stated otherwise. THE CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP I WILL KEEP the rules. I WILL KEEP faith with my teammates. I WILL KEEP my temper. I WILL KEEP myself fit. I WILL KEEP a stout heart in defeat. I WILL KEEP my pride under in victory. I WILL KEEP a sound soul, a clean mind and a healthy body. Only good sportsmen of good character are the proper men to manage Legion Baseball teams. They must, by precept and example, keep constantly before the players, the true purpose of the American Legion Baseball Program. In other words, a Post Athletic Officer or Team Manager should not consider himself merely a coach with the main objective the winning of games. His big job is to keep uppermost in the minds of the players at all time, the citizenship lessons learned from participating in the program. Every team cannot win championship honors, but every player can win that which is of most importance– the spirit of fair play, loyalty, teamwork, obedience, gameness and democracy. It shall be the responsibility of the sponsor of the team to see that his team, coach and manager are instructed in the code of sportsmanship prior to the start of each season and to certify that the Pennsylvania Youth Legion Baseball rules have been read and explained to his team, manager and coaches. 7 It is the responsibility of the League Chairman to instruct all team managers that both teams prior to the start of the game line up along the base paths and repeat the Code of Sportsmanship in unison. It is the responsibility of the home team to enforce this rule. Teams violating this rule are subject to a fine of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), payable to the Director of Activities, and/or disqualification from the program. RULE 1 - PLAYING REGULATIONS No team shall participate in any game or tournament outside the state of Pennsylvania without written permission from the Director of Activities at least 30 days prior to the event. No league games shall be postponed or rescheduled to allow any team to participate in a non-league game or tournament. Form AL#4 should be completely filled out and have all required signatures for this purpose. The league shall suspend any manager violating this rule according to the guideline set up. 1. All coaches, managers, and other adults in the dugout and on the Youth Baseball roster must have proof of a State Police criminal (SP4-164), child abuse clearance (CY- 113), (Senate Bill 534), and if not a resident of Pennsylvania the last 10 consecutive years, a FBI fingerprint check, submitted to their respective League President for submission at the time the team is registered with the Youth Legion Official. The SP-4, CY-113 and Senate Bill 534 clearances are FREE to all volunteers. Details on how to obtain clearances can be found at the end of this book. 2. The Youth Committee person appointed by the Dept. Commander, in his respective area, shall be the official representative of the Director of Activities.
