SCBC success is dependent on 3 different groups: Manager / Coaches, Players, and the Parents/Guardians. The club is only as strong as these 3 groups are strong together.

game of baseball. - Not play “Daddy-ball”. Manager and coaches will make the best decisions for the success of SCBC to be competitive in tournaments.
- Be approachable by players and parents/guardians to listen to and talk about any concerns they may have.
- Having SCBC events ready to go and start on time
- Providing a positive environment for players to learn and develop
their baseball skill - Provide the best experience possible for your child
- Work towards the success of Stephens City Baseball Club
Player Agrees to:
- Be coachable, listen to the coaches, allow yourself to be corrected and learn new skills, including playing a new position if the coaches see a better fit for you
- Being ready to play when called upon. This includes following the managers directions the days and nights of tournaments.
- Support your teammates on and off the field.
- Have a positive attitude

- Work towards the success of Stephens City Baseball Club
Parent/Guardian Agrees to
- Understand that SCBC encourages parents/guardians to work with and play ball with their player, but at SCBC events, it’s what the coaches teach and ask for that will be expected from the player.
- Understand the manager and coaches are putting together a well thought out plan to not only teach core skills and Baseball IQ, but also generate a love for the game, so when a wiffleball game breaks out, there is a reason.
- Understand that SCBC is a competitive ball team and all playing time decisions will be made in the best interest of SCBC success. Playing time decisions will be based on a number of criteria: skill, effort, attitude, attendance of practices & workouts, and situations. There is no guarantee of playing time within games.
- Expectation is parent / guardian refrain from gossip or slander of organization, managers / coaches, and organization officials. If there is a concern, it should be addressed in confidence directly with Ross Lehr and Zack Keedy.
- Getting the player to SCBC events on time.
- Commitment to SCBC as first priority if child is playing multiple sports or involved with multiple teams in baseball.
- Work towards the success of Stephens City Baseball Cluba
