Spring 2012 Season Registration Packet
Transcript of Spring 2012 Season Registration Packet
Spring 2012 Season
Registration Packet
Welcome to another season of 4S Ranch Little League Baseball!
Little League, founded in 1939 in Williamsport, Pa., is the world’s largest youth sports program
with more than 2.8 million children and 1 million volunteers in more than 100 countries. More
than 30 million people have played in Little League programs.
4S Ranch Little League is strictly a volunteer effort. Volunteers dedicate their time, service, and
often their personal funds, to maintain an exemplary program wherein children may develop into
young adults. No parent should turn their child over to a local Little League without feeling a
sense of responsibility and participation. An obligation of involvement must be recognized and
fulfilled. The pleasure of participating in Little League should be contagious, not only affecting
parents but the community as well. Properly operated, Little League speaks for itself as a proud
asset to any community. Become involved. As a volunteer program, Little League Baseball
cannot survive without your help!
Enclosed you will find information and forms you will need to register for the Spring 2012
season.
Additionally, a Volunteer Application is included if you wish to volunteer your time. Please
consider helping.
Thank you again for supporting Little League Baseball.
For more information on Little League, visit www.4SRLL.com or www.LittleLeague.org.
Little League Pledge
I trust in God
I love my country
And will respect its laws
I will play fair
And strive to win
But win or lose
I will always do my best
Little League Parent &
Volunteer Pledge
I will teach all children to play fair and do
their best.
I will positively support all managers,
coaches and players.
I will respect the decision of the umpires.
I will praise a good effort despite the
outcome of the game.
Can my son or daughter play 4S Ranch Little League Baseball? Depends. In order to play 4S Ranch Little League
Baseball, you must be at least League Age 4 and live within the boundaries of 4S Ranch Little League. Our boundaries include the
communities of 4S Ranch, Bernardo Point, Bernardo Springs, The Lakes, Black Mountain Ranch, Del Sur, The Lakes and Santa Fe
Valley. If you are unsure, contact the League for more information.
What is my son or daughter’s league age? League age is determined by how old your son or daughter will be on April 30,
2012.
My child has never played baseball before. Is that Ok? Yes. Of course! Little League welcomes all skill levels
among all age groups. You should feel comfortable signing your child up regardless of ability. Chances are, your child will already
have friends on the team.
Can I register my daughter for softball with 4S Ranch Little League? No. 4S Ranch Little League no longer offers
softball. To register for softball, please contact 4S Ranch ASA Softball.
Can I register online? Yes. We now offer the option to sign-up online at www.4srll.com and encourage you to use the online
option by giving you $20 off your registration. Through this online option you are able to fill out the application, pay your fees and
print the required forms that are part of a complete registration packet. This online system is not able to verify proof of residency or
birth day and it does not allow you to upload the other forms we need to complete your registration. Consequently, we still need you
to either come to one of the live registration dates with those documents, mail them to our offices at 16625 Dove Canyon Rd. STE.
102 – 342, San Diego, CA 92127, or e-mail them to us at [email protected]. We will hold three sign-up dates December
3rd, December 17th and January 4th (see below).
How can I become an umpire? Outside of the managers and the coaches, this is the most important volunteer role on the
field. The games do not get to be played without an umpire. We welcome all those interested in learning more about the game and
wishing to volunteer as umpires. We host clinics to help you learn the mechanics and rules for umpiring. You get a different
perspective than from the bleachers and stay engaged in the game. You get to be on the field!! It does not require a lot of time to
officiate a couple of games a season and you will be helping ensure that the kids get to play baseball. As an added benefit, you get a
pretty cool shirt and hat. If you’re interested, please contact the UIC (Umpire-In-Chief) via email at [email protected] or
by phone at 858-382-7518.
Can my company purchase a banner in the outfield? Yes. Please support Little League by considering sponsorship.
There are various sponsorship levels available. Please see the Sponsorship section of this packet. Thank you!
What if I change my mind after signing up, can I get a refund? A full refund will be issued if player withdraws from
the league prior to January 7, 2011. It No refunds will be issued after that date. Additionally, there will be NO REFUNDS on any
apparel merchandise once the orders have been placed.
I have more questions. Where can I get more info? We are happy to answer any questions you may have or help you
register your child. You can visit us in person at any of the registration events, or visit www.4srll.com, or email us at [email protected].

PARENT/VOLUNTEER CODE OF CONDUCT Preamble:
The essential elements of character building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Good Citizenship. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these “six pillars of character.” I therefore agree:
1. I will promote the emotional and physical well being of the children ahead of any personal desire I may have to win.
2. I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for the children and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game, practice or other sporting event.
3. I will praise the children for competing fairly and trying hard, and make them feel like winners every time.
4. I will never ridicule or yell at the children for making a mistake or losing a competition.
5. I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing and taunting; refusing to shake hands; using profane language or gestures; or committing verbal or physical abuse.
6. I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss, or confront officials or coaches at the game field, and will take time to speak with officials or coaches at an agreed upon time and place.
7. I will refrain from coaching the children during games, and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
8. I will teach the children to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
9. I will demand a sports environment for the children that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.
10. I will inform the league or the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of the children.
11. I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well being of the children.
12. I will demand that the children treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.
13. I will teach the children that doing one’s best is more important than winning, so that the children will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or their performance.
14. I will emphasize skill development and practices and how they benefit the children over winning. I will also de-emphasize games and competition in the lower age groups.
15. I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league and follow them.
16. I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.
17. I understand that failure to comply with any one of the provisions of this Code of Conduct may subject me to any disciplinary action deemed appropriate by either the 4S Ranch Little League, the County of San Diego or the County's Department of Parks and Recreation. Such disciplinary action may include, but may not be limited to, suspension of my child, myself and / or other family members from current or future participation in the League, access to the 4S Ranch Sports Park or access to other County facilities.
