Delaware District 1 expects the following standards from all of its managers and coaches. All managers and coaches must adhere to this Code of Conduct.

1. I will promote good sportsmanship, realizing that my team’s and our league’s reputation are built not only on playing ability, but also my team’s behavior and treatment of others.


2. I understand that physical, verbal, or written abuse or bullying of spectators, players, coaches, umpires, or league officials is never acceptable. Written communications such as emails, texts and social media posts are included.


3. I will not use profanity or accuse the other team of cheating at any time at the Little League complex, especially around or directed at the players, coaches or umpires.


4. I understand alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs are expressly forbidden at all times at the Little League complex.


5. I will fully comply with all elements of the Player/Parents Code of Conduct.

1. I will refrain from complaining to the umpires, coaches, players, and spectators about judgment calls made by the umpires with which I do not agree.


2. I will respect the ruling of the umpires. If I have a question about a rule interpretation, I will ask for time-out, and privately talk to the umpire away from players, parents, and spectators.


3. I will give the umpires the respect that their position within the game deserves.

1. I will read, understand, and follow all rules, whether the rules are prescribed in the Little League Rulebook or if they are local rules specific to our District.

1. I will ensure that the fans of my team conduct themselves with sportsmanship before, during, and after games. If parents begin acting in an unsportsmanlike manner, I will assist umpires and officials in maintaining control and having parents follow the Player/Parents Code of Conduct.


2. I will ensure that my team shows sportsmanship at all times. Each player should be humble in victory and courteous in defeat. I also ensure that my team refrains from using profanity, taunting, and/or other verbal or written abuse directed at spectators, players, coaches, umpires, or officials.
