Parents and coaches play in important part in the development of spirit, sportsmanship, and skills of our players.  We hope that parents and coaches will read the Player’s Code of Ethics with each child.

MPBS ALL-STARS

MPBS Board of Directors has enacted a new all-star contract that describes participation, volunterism, and commitment requirements for all baseball and softball all-star teams.  This contract must be signed by all parents of chosen all-stars before they are allowed to practice with the all-star team.  Click here for the 2009 MPBS All-Star Contract.

PLAYER EJECTIONS

According to MPBS bylaws, any player ejected from a game by an umpire must sit out the next scheduled game on the bench in uniform.  Ejections due to flagrant actions may be further disciplined by the MPBS Executive Committee.
