COACHES TREATMENT OF UMPIRES
Intimidation, threats, verbal abuse or physical
contact with any umpire by coaches, players or
fans WILL NOT be tolerated. Severe disciplinary
action will be imposed for any of these
infractions. Coaches and fans must remember that
many of the umpires at these youth games are
young teenagers, and are just learning to be
umpires. Coaches are expected to exhibit
patience, tolerate mistakes, and assist the
umpire in learning. Failure to treat umpires
with respect and promote a positive experience
for these umpires leads to a lack of umpires for
games! The Area of the home team is responsible
for scheduling and paying umpires for the game.
23
COACHES TREATMENT OF UMPIRES
All umpires must be at least age 14 by August 1,
2009. In addition, an umpire must be at least
two years older than the oldest players in the
game umpires must be at least 14 years of age
for Midget and Junior level games, and at least
16 years of age for Senior level games. All
umpires used in league games must be certified by
CCJBA or another recognized umpire association.
(e.g. Portland Baseball Umpires Assn., Salem
Umpires Assn.). CCJBA umpires receive
certification by attending CCJBA sponsored
clinics and passing a certification test used to
evaluate a potential umpires understanding of
baseball rules is the same test that is
administered to High School umpires!
24
2009 SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
There will be a presentation at the county
tournament recognizing a coach at each level
Midget (National, American, Federal) Junior
(National, American, Federal) Senior (National,
American, Federal). There will be a voting
spreadsheet created and emailed to all the
coaches for them to cast a vote. The Area Head
of each association will be active with the board
in making sure that all coaches vote. The coach
with the most votes will receive a plaque at the
county tournament, will be listed on the CCJBA
Website, and will be listed in next years Rule
Book. In case of a tie between coaches, the
executive board will decide the winner. All
votes will need to be cast by July 5th, 2009.
