As a participant with the GSYL, I recognize that:
• Youth baseball represents what is great about baseball and amateur athletics.
• I am an ambassador of baseball, amateur athletics, the GSYL, my team, my school, and my community.
• The behavior of a single player (or group) can impact my team and its reputation in the community and within youth baseball.
• It is my obligation to conduct myself, on and off the field, in a manner that brings honor and distinction to my teammates, my team, youth baseball, my community, myself and my family.
I therefore pledge that:
• My actions, on and off the field, will be positive and I will strive to be a model citizen, to help create goodwill and a positive perception of youth baseball, my team and myself.
• I will show consideration for the general public; and for others while in public settings such as the ballpark, restaurants, stores, malls, gas stations, etc.
I understand that:
• The coaches and management of the GSYL will have no tolerance for behavior that casts my team, youth baseball, and our community in an unfavorable light.
The consequences could be:
• Notification to player's coach
• Notification to player’s parents
• Immediate release from the GSYL
