I. Introduction to New Lenox “Rebels” Baseball Association (NLBA)

NLBA is a not-for-profit, youth athletic association associated with, but not governed by, the New Lenox Community Park District. NLBA was originally formed to provide recreational baseball to community children ages eight through fourteen. The mascot name “Rebels” was formally adopted in 1995. The association color scheme is red, black, and white. The association was established to provide children the opportunity to learn and experience the game of baseball. NLBA appreciates the commitment you are giving as a manger and hopes that your experiences with the association are rewarding for you and the children.

Currently, NLBA provides recreational division baseball for children five to fourteen, recreational travel baseball for fifteen through eighteen, and competitive “Metro” traveling baseball for nine through fifteen years old. All recreational divisions are comprised of two-year divisions. Competitive “Metro” divisions are one-year increments. Additionally, NLBA provides competitive traveling all-star teams of one-year increments from eight to fourteen years old providing we have managers willing to take a team.

For most of our playing fields, NLBA uses New Lenox School District 122 property which has been leased to the Park District and, in turn, allocated to NLBA for the months of March through August. The development and yearly maintenance of the playing fields is funded by NLBA. Financial responsibility is provided through registration, sponsors, concessions, and fundraisers.

The baseball playing season covers the months of March through July for all divisions except Colt and Palomino which is May until August. March is field prep and beginning practice which continues through April. Regular games and in-house tournament games are played in May and June. July is travelling all-star and Metro tournaments. The associations membership is a yearlong, twelve-month commitment in order to continually plan, maintain, and improve our program and facilities.

II. Structure of NLBA

NLBA is structured with a twenty-seven person Board of Directors referred to as the Executive Board. The Executive Board has voting rights to establish association policies, procedures, and association development. These members are; President, Executive Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registration, and the Vice President of each of the eight playing divisions: Shetland, Pinto (2), Mustang (2), Bronco, Poly, Colt, Palomino, and Metro. The twelve remaining Executive Board members are the Department Directors consisting of: Registration Assistant, Field Maintenance, Equipment, Co-Uniforms, Website, Sponsors, Tournaments, Umpires, Candy Fund Raisers, Trophies, Planning, and Concessions.

The Executive Board sets policy for the association. This board is also responsible for developing and maintaining playing fields as well as future planning of the association.

The Executive Board will determine general rules for each division and adopt the official rulebook to be used for the season.

Adopted September 10, 2001 an amendment to the constitution made it permissible with the consent of the standing executive board that in any instance when two volunteers for a VP position may occur, under mutual consent they may agree to split the duties of the VP position of that division. Each member has equal voting rights in association matters.
The General Board is made up of the Executive Board and all current Team Managers. The General Board is responsible for identifying and presenting issues in front of the association and developing additional game rules within a division.

III. NLBA Executive and General Board Meetings

The Executive Board meets once a month each month of the year on the second Monday of the month. Department Directors are not required to attend unless they have specific business to be brought before the board, or are specifically requested to appear. Attendance for all others each month is mandatory. If a member cannot attend, they are to notify the President, Executive Vice President, or Secretary prior to the meeting. Failure to attend without prior notification and/or continual failure to attend even with notification may result in sanctions against the member.

The General Board meets each month of the year on the third Wednesday of the month. Attendance for all members of the General Board is mandatory. Department Directors that cannot attend are required to notify any of the persons named above. Team Managers are required to notify their Division Vice President. Failure to attend without prior notification and/or continual failure to attend even with notification may result in sanctions against the member. Team Managers that cannot attend are strongly encouraged to send a coach in their place.

All meetings are held at the American Legion Hall on South Cedar Road, New Lenox, on the third Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m. All meetings are open to the public. The President chairs meetings, and in case of absence, the protocol is Executive Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Seven members of the voting membership, of which four must be members of the Executive Board, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. A majority vote of present members who are eligible voters shall govern.

IV. Divisions of NLBA

NLBA is constructed of recreational, traveling recreational and competitive divisions. Each division has a Vice President on the Executive Board. Each Manager of a team (including all-stars) is on the General Board. Each Vice President and Manager is an elected position to the association by the current membership at the annual meeting held in October. Divisions and ages of players are as follows:

Recreational/Recreational Traveling
Shetland 5 & 6
Pinto 7 & 8
Mustang 9 & 10
Bronco 11 & 12
Pony 13 & 14
Colt 15 & 16
Palomino 17 & 18

Competitive Metro
9-14 years old

Each division is responsible for maintaining NLBA game policies of the division and determining any special game rules. Special rules must be brought before the Executive Board for acceptance.

Each division is responsible for planning and hosting one special event to benefit the association each year. Events may be fundraising opportunities or other outings such as opening day, NLBA Managers and Board members family picnic, or similar event. Participation by each manager in the division is expected.

V. Game & Practice Policies

Conduct
The Manger and coaches are responsible to carry on good conduct during games and practices and to ensure their players and fans (including parents) do likewise. Any disagreements shall be discussed in an adult manner without violence or abusive language. Any misconduct that will cause poor examples to the players will not be tolerated. (See Code of Conduct) It will be the manager’s responsibility to have their team’s parents sign the NLBA Parental Code of Conduct.

Appearance
Managers and coaches shall be properly attired and be neat in appearance. Traveling All-Star Managers and coaches (two) are required to wear the NLBA “Rebels” shirt and hat provided by the association. Smoking or chewing tobacco and drinking alcohol during any game or practice will not be tolerated.

Field Set-up and Maintenance
Care of NLBA playing fields and equipment is every association member’s responsibility. The following Manager’s responsibilities apply for games and practices as appropriate.

Home Team

Set and Remove all bases.
Stripe foul lines and batter boxes.
Operate scoreboard (N/A at Shetland division)
Return bases, chalk boxes, and other appropriate equipment to the field box and ensure the box is locked.
Install all base caps.

Visiting Team

Obtain and return field rakes from storage shed.
Obtain and return scoreboards from storage shed.
Perform post-game field maintenance including filling holes at batter boxes, pitching mound and each field base.

Note: Regardless of who is the Home or Visiting team, the winning team is responsible for ensuring that the visiting team performs their duties. If the visiting team does not do the work, the winning team shall perform the work themselves or be penalized by forfeiting their win and issued a loss for purposes of keeping the division standings. If the winning team is the Home team, failure by the visiting team to fulfill their duties shall be reported to the Executive Board.

Game Rules
NLBA requires each division to adhere to specific rules. It is mandatory for a Manager or Coach to strictly adhere to these rules especially concerning pitchers. If a Manger or Coach violates the pitching rules, the violation calls for forfeiture of the game. All Managers are responsible to maintain documentation on pitchers including innings pitched for both their team and the opposing team. Opposing Managers must sign each others score book. Accusation of a pitching violation will require the accused Manager to disprove the allegation.

Effective by General Board action and constitutional amendment on June 11, 2001, every player at the recreational division must play a minimum or four innings in a six-inning game, or five innings in a seven-inning game. Maximum of twelve players per team will permit this. No player should sit for two innings in a row during a regulation game.

Game Spokesman
Any challenges to an umpire’s decision or debates with the opposing team will be carried onto the field by only the Manager. In the case of an absent Manager, the coach taking the team for that game shall only be allowed. This coach must identify himself as the Game Spokesman to the opposing team and the umpires prior to the start of the game. The umpire shall first issue any other coach that comes on the field for discussion a warning. The second infraction shall result in the person being ejected from the game. Further infractions shall be brought to the Executive Board and an Issues Committee shall be convened.

Rain-Out Procedures
In the event of poor weather, NLBA policy is to consider every field in a “yellow” condition. Managers shall not contact the Park District for a field report, nor shall they instruct any player or parent to contact the Park District. Unless a game is mutually called due to rain in advance of normal game time utilizing the procedures below, Managers shall tell all players to arrive ready to play and in uniform for each game. Procedure for determining a rainout shall be as follows:

Both Managers arrive at the field to inspect its condition and determine if the field is playable at the appointed time or can be delayed after remedies are made.
f the field is not playable, both Managers must agree.
Home Team Manager contacts the Division Vice President and informs him/her that the game was mutually called due to rain.
Managers inform players.

Managers are expected to make every effort to restore the field to a playable condition and to avoid rainouts if at all possible.

The Division Vice President will work with the Scheduler and Director of umpires regarding the cancellation and rescheduling of the game.

There is a one hour and fifty minute limit when a game is scheduled after your game.
Care of NLBA Equipment

Managers are expected to take good care of all equipment issued to them in their team bags throughout the season as well as intermittently used NLBA property such as rakes, scoreboards, etc.
Ensure all equipment to be placed in the field boxes has been returned to the box and it is locked.
Inspect all playing equipment and report damaged equipment to the Equipment Director. Clean all equipment in your team bag as best as possible prior to returning. All equipment bags shall be returned to the Equipment Director after your season is complete and you have cleaned the equipment. Any manager that does not turn in his current season equipment bag cannot be nominated for a manager position the following season. Attach a tag to your bag indicating your name, division, and team name. Please return all used game balls and practice balls in reusable condition. These balls can be issued as practice balls to following year which saves the association many equipment dollars.

Soft Toss and Hitting Tee Batting Drills
NLBA expressly prohibits these drills to be performed using field fencing as a means to stop the batted ball unless the drill is performed using only plastic wiffle balls. Managers are responsible to ensure coaches of your team or any visiting team adhere to this NLBA policy.

Field and Dugout Trash Clean-Up
Managers are responsible for making sure the dugout and surrounding field and fan areas are free of trash before leaving the field to the next team. If necessary, you can obtain a broom from the storage shed to sweep out the dugouts.

VI. Violation of Game & Practice Policies

Any Manager or Coach found violating the policies set forth in Section V. or any Manager knowingly permitting their coaching staff to violate these policies will be subject to sanctions as indicated herein. These sanctions are in addition to any sanctions indicated in Section V.

For Conduct, Appearance, Game Rules, Game Spokesman, Care of Equipment, Soft-Toss and Hitting Tee Drills:
1st Violation: Minimum one game suspension for the persons(s) involved.
2nd Violation: Suspension for the remainder of the season.
3rd Violation: Expulsion from the association.

For Field Set-Up and Maintenance:
1st Violation: Manager is suspended for next game on schedule.
2nd Violation: Manager’s team forfeits next game on schedule. Opposing team issued the win. Game will not be played.
3rd Violation: Manager is immediately removed from their position and barred from ever again holding a Manager position in the association.
The above violations have no expiration and are carried from one year to another.

For Rain-Out Procedure:
1st Violation: Manager forfeits game “rained-out.” Opposing team issued the win (Can be a double forfeit if both Managers fail to comply with the policy). The game will not be played.
2nd/3rd Violation: No current NLB policy addresses a second or third violation.
For Trash Cleanup: No Current NLBA policy addresses this violation.
In the absence of formal violation policy, the matter would be brought before the Executive Board for possible action which may include turning the matter over to an issues committee.

VII. Umpire Association

NLBA uses its own umpires for Shetland division and an outside service overseen by the Director of Umpires for all other divisions. Each game at Shetland, Pinto, and Mustang has one umpire. All other divisions have two umpires. This standard may vary for tournament play.
All umpires are expected to explain their reasoning for judgment calls. Ejections may occur only after one warning. When a warning is issued, both teams must be notified of the warning. Ejection calls for the removal of the individual from the field, not the complex, and requires the identification of an acting manager should the manager be ejected.
NLBA requires that all individuals control their frustrations on the field and utilize the Executive Board / Issues Committee as the procedure for getting their complaint processed. This applies to everyone, including umpires.
Umpire Complaints
NLBA maintains a conduct order for umpires as it does for NLBA Managers and coaches. In the case where an umpire’s call or officiating comes to a point of discussion, it is expected that the Manager or acting Manager discuss the situation with the umpire. If the discussion begins to reach a level of frustration, NLBA expects the Manager or acting Manager to utilize the procedure to bring a complaint to the Executive Board / Issues Committee. The issue will, in turn, be resolved with the Umpire Association.

VIII. Issues Committee

The Issues Committee is an ad hoc committee responsible for acting on issues brought before the association. Issues may include protesting of games, Managers’/coaches’ complaints, Policy Violations, Umpire or Parent Complaints. The committee is convened by order of the Executive Board.

The Committee is staffed by up to thirteen members. The President acts as the Committee Chairman and Executive Board representative include, Executive Vice President, Secretary, and Treasure. The remainder of the Committee is made up of the Vice President from each recreational division and Metro division Vice President. The division which is affected by the issue is not represented on the Committee. A Committee meeting of seven (7) members will constitute a quorum.

The Committee will be responsible for the enforcement of the constitution and policies of NLBA. A fact-finding hearing will be convened within one week’s notice of an issue. Individuals involved in the issue will be requested to appear before the Committee including umpires and parents.

All sessions of the Committee will be minutes recorded and all actions taken will be logged. Minutes and the log will be forwarded to the association secretary for filing.

Within one week of the completion of the hearing, the committee will notify the individual(s) responsible for bringing forth the issue of their decision. The notification shall be both verbal and in writing. The Executive Board will be copied on the written notification.

All decisions reached by the Issues Committee are subject to appeal to the full Executive Board if submitted in writing within one (1) week after the committee decision.

IX. Managers Responsibilities

The Manager carries specific responsibilities to the team and the association. Each Manager is expected to fulfill these responsibilities or designate persons within the team to ensure the responsibilities are met. NLBA Managers must be individuals that go beyond showing up to run the team on game day. They must be committed to the children and the viability of our growing association.

Equipment Bag Pick-up
Manager shall pick up the equipment bag at the designated location, date, and time. Inspect the equipment and ensure it is complete with catcher’s gear, catcher’s mitt, four batting helmets minimum, used balls for practice, minimum one dozen new balls for games, and at least two cool packs for injuries.

Candy Fundraiser
Manager is responsible for pick-up of candy for the entire team on the designated location, date, and time. Bring your team’s registration “yellow sheets” with you so you can verify the quantity needed. You are then responsible for distributing the candy to the appropriate players in a timely manner and collecting all money and turning it in on the designated day in order to receive your uniforms and picture day assignment.

Uniform Distribution
The Manager is responsible for distributing his uniform allotment properly to each player to ensure the best fit. Do not let the players choose uniforms by number preference. One team shirt for the manager shall be provided by NLBA. Coaches’ shirts can be purchased additionally. See Uniform Director.

Picture Day
Picture day is a mandatory NLBA event for all managers and teams. The Manager is responsible for 100% participation of the team including him/herself and any coaches.

Opening Day
Opening day is a Mandatory NLBA event for all recreational divisions through Bronco and optional for all other teams. Activities vary each year. As a Manager, your enthusiasm for opening day will make the day successful and fun for your players.

Proud American Days Parade
Always held the first Sunday in May and sponsored by the New Lenox VFW. This event is a fun time for your players, parents, coaches, and you. It also is good exposure for NLBA.

Make sure the players wear their uniforms. Attendance is not mandatory but strongly encouraged by the Executive Board. VFW supplies free hotdogs and drinks for the kids and adults afterwards at their post on Vine Street.

Team Administrative Duties
As Manager, you are responsible for the administration of your team in various areas including:

Obtaining a Team Mom/Dad
Obtaining additional coaches
Obtaining a team scorekeeper for your book and operation of the scoreboard
Pass out or otherwise convey all NLBA information to parents (i.e. picture forms, pictures, candy, NLBA special events, schedules, all-star tryout notification, etc.)
Conducting practices
Understanding of playing rules for your division

The Handling of Players.
The primary objective of this association is to provide supervised recreational (or competitive in Metro division), baseball games. Managers shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skills or winning of games is secondary and the molding of future adults is of prime importance.

Keep it Positive.
Remember that these kids joined NLBA to have fun. Winning games, but doing so through negative management is not fun for those players being put down by you and your coaches. When a player makes a physical or mental error on the field, don’t further complicate the situation by yelling at them on the field. It embarrasses them and does not make you look too good either. Take the player aside when the team comes in the dugout. Talk to them in a positive way about what they did wrong and explain how they can improve and perhaps not make that mistake in the future.

Be Knowledgeable.
We expect you to teach your players the proper fundamentals and techniques of baseball. Do not tell players they are performing poorly without first taking the time to instruct them on how to do something properly. We do not expect our Managers to know everything, but try to improve your players by educating yourself first. Excellent resources can be found in libraries, bookstores, or with other coaches within NLBA.

Lead By Example.
Players look up to their coaches and will emulate them. Being a good sport and treating everyone, not just the players but the parents, other coaches, and umpires as well with respect this teaches good sportsmanship and respect.

X. Double Dip Policy

NLBA strictly prohibits any player to play in more than one division within NLBA or for any other baseball organization outside NLBA at the same time. This situation is known as double dipping. Within the organization, a player registered and placed on a Metro competitive division team cannot play on any recreational team either as a roster player or substitute. Outside the organization, any registered player cannot play for any other area organization or league. This is an adoption of the Pony Baseball Inc.

NLBA will not permit its Managers and/or Coaches to promote or knowingly permit this condition. Should this condition arise, the Manager must immediately report it to the Executive Board. Any Manager the knowingly permits the condition to continue or makes a team substitution with either a Metro player or non-NLBA registered player shall be subject to the same sanctions as found in Section V. Conduct.

SPECIAL NOTICE!
NLBA POLICY STRICTLY PROHIBITS ANY PERSON THAT MANAGES, COACHES, OR OTHERWISE HOLDS ANY BOARD POSITION WITH ANY OTHER "COMPETING" BOYS BASEBALL ASSOCIATION FROM PARTICIPATING AS A MANAGER, COACH, OR BOARD MEMBER IN THE NEW LENOX “REBELS” BASEBALL ASSOCIATION.

XI. Game Scheduling Policy

All games will be scheduled at the beginning of the season through the league scheduler. You are required to play your games as scheduled. Managers may not reschedule games for matters of convenience to either (or both) manager(s). The scheduler shall be responsible in forwarding all scheduled and rescheduled games to the Director of Umpires, Director of Concessions, each Division Vice President, and the New Lenox Community Park District. Managers will obtain their team schedules from their division Vice President. No field allocations are official without using this procedure. The Executive Board will decide the outcome of any unofficial games.

Sanctions against the Manger for violation of this police are as follows:

1st Violation: 1 game suspension plus Board decision of unofficial game outcome.
2nd Violation: 3 game suspension plus Board decision of unofficial game outcome.
3rd Violation: Expulsion from NLBA plus Board decision of unofficial game outcome
Violation occurrence has no expiration and will be carried through into future years.

XII. Temporary Replacement Player

In the event you do not have enough players present for a legal lineup, you may draft a temporary replacement player from the next lower NLBA division to play on your team for the game. The following rules apply. Manager violations of this policy are as set forth in Section V. Conduct.
1. Temporary player cannot play up if there is a conflict with his regular team’s schedule.
2. Temporary players cannot pitch.
3. Temporary players shall bat in standard continuous batting order.
4. Temporary players shall play the standard minimum innings of the division.

XIII. Placement Draft Rules

Rules policy adopted November 14, 1994. See (Attachment 1)
Amendment adopted February 12, 2001: Any protected older player on a team that has a younger brother coming up that played as a traveling all-star the previous year requires that team to forfeit their first round pick.

NLBA Draft Procedure for Pinto, Mustang, Bronco, and Pony

The below procedure describes the process which will be followed for Pinto (7 & 8year olds), Mustang (9 & 10 year olds), Bronco (11 & 12 year olds), and Pony (13 & 14 year olds). Replace the ages in the following procedure to coordinate with your division.

1. Managers moving into the Bronco Division will draw a team name. This draw will be an available existing team or an expansion team as needed. This is a blind draw. (Returning managers will use last year’s roster for selection purposes only. Coaches returning as manager will be given the same right.)

2. All managers with existing teams will now retain two 12 year olds from that team plus their son. (If players are available you must retain them)

3. Expansion teams and existing teams with less than two 12 year olds will have first choice of any unprotected 12 year olds with names facing up. This will get their teams equal to existing teams. (Two 12 year olds plus their son). A draft order will be picked for this draw. (It’s helpful to get these picks prior to draft night. That will keep these players out of sealed envelopes).

4. Remaining 12 year olds from existing teams will be put in blind pools in front of each team’s manager. All new 12 year olds will be put into a general blind pool. (The registration sheets should be put in individual sealed envelopes labeled, blind 12, or with the existing team name).

5. All teams containing less than three 12 year olds (2-12 year olds plus an 11 year old son) will now have one blind 12 year old from the team pools or the general pool. A new draft order will be picked for this draw.

6. All remaining twelve year olds will now be picked blind from the individual team pools or the general pool. A new draft order will be picked for this draw.

Note regarding twins: If your pick is a twin, the other twin will be considered you next pick.

Note regarding “Brothers Rights”: If your 12 year old pick or protected player has an 11 year old brother, the 11 year old will be considered your last pick. If the brother was an All-Star or Metro player from last year, he is considered your first 11 year old pick.

Note: All 12 year olds must be placed before any 11 year olds are drafted.
Note regarding 11 year old son: Your 11 year old son will be your last pick.

7. 11 year old draft begins. A new draft order is picked for this draw.

8. All evaluated 11 year olds must be picked first. (In Pinto managers will be given one open 7 year old pick in draft pick order. All remaining &year olds will be blind picks). (It’s helpful to get these picks prior to draft night. That will keep these players out of sealed envelopes).

9. All remaining non-evaluated 11 year olds will then be blind picks. (The registration sheets should be put in individual sealed envelopes labeled blind 11).

All draft orders go from first pick to last pick. (1, 2, 3, 4…4, 3, 2, 1…1, 2, 3, 4)
No coaches are allowed as a pick in the draft
No trades are allowed at any time. This includes players, draft picks, and draft pick order.
VP’s must calculate the number of teams and players so that all teams are as equal as possible at the end of draft night.
Teams short of a full roster will receive players from late registration in continued draft order.
The VP needs to have their division draw the team names and draft orders at the January general board meeting. (All expansion teams added after this meeting will be put at the end of all draft orders).
At least one week prior to the draft VP’s must supply managers with a list of the existing teams returning players. (This list should highlight all the returning players).
On draft night managers should have a complete list of all evaluated players. List the players by their evaluation number an last name from what would be your first pick to your last pick
An Executive VP member will keep track of the master list of all drafted players. The master list will go to the executive board and a copy will be given to the division VP
Complete team rosters must be given to the division VP the night of the draft.

NLBA Parental Code of Conduct
(This document applies to all family members)

I Will:

Be encouraging, supportive and affirmative in regard to my child’s play on the field
Respect the umpires and accept their decisions
Support the manager, coaches and players
Volunteer my services and talents to the NLBA when possible
Familiarize myself with the rules of the game and those specific to my child’s division (i.e. playing time, pitching rules)
Comply with rules and policies of the NLBA as they apply to me; such as no tobacco or alcohol use on school premises

Further, I will never:

Engage in dissent directed toward an umpire
Engage in any kind or type of unsportsmanlike conduct with any umpire, manager, coach, player or parent
Interfere at any time with the duties and responsibilities of the manager or coaches
Act in any manner which is detrimental to the team or the New Lenox Baseball Association

For the sake of your child’s experience in an organized sport and for the good of the game, it is important that we, as parents, maintain perspective. The perspective is simple. First of all, this experience is a game and secondly, the experience is your child’s and not yours. The overwhelming majority of the parents maintain this perspective, while the minority undermines it for those of you who otherwise want to enjoy it.

Failure to adhere to the rules and requests outlined within this Parental Code of Conduct agreement could result in disciplinary actions taken against parents, guardians and / or participants, up to and including termination of participation in the New Lenox Baseball Association.
