Welcome Letter and Code of Conduct

Welcome and thank you for joining the Southern Nevada Baseball Youth Program (‘SN Youth Program”).

Souther Nevada Baseball (‘SN Baseball”) is a three-tier club baseball organization. Youth (6U-14U), High School, and College. SN Baseball’s Mission is to provide a seamless development plan for every member to transition through the three distinct levels.

Welcome Letter and Code of Conduct

Other Information:

Practices and Games

Every practice and Game is important. Please do not miss. Every member is expected to arrive 10-15 minutes before practice and pre-game warmups to ensure they can start on time. Parents are expected to be punctual when dropping off and picking up players. If a member is unable to attend, advise the team’s coach. Punctuality and attendance for practices and games will affect playing time. We believe playing other sports improves athleticism. We also believe that being more athletic improves overall ability. However, we ask that SN Baseball be a priority as much as possible.

Members should come prepared with what they need (i.e., water, food, sunblock, etc.) to every practice and game. At no time during a practice, pre-game warm-ups, or game should a parent approach the Player Bench or Coaches and Players area. In cases of emergencies, please communicate with the coach first. Parents should refrain from coaching or reprimanding members for their play during practice, pre-game warm-ups, or games. We believe members taking ownership, being accountable, and being independent is a big part of their development.

Club Ball Season

Our club baseball season begins on September 1st and ends August 31st of the following year. We are a year-round baseball program.

Website

SN Baseball maintains its own website at: www.southernnevadabaseball.com. This website contains information about the program, specifically, each roster’s schedule. Every parent is expected to stay up to date with schedule by referring to the online schedule.

GroupMe

Tournament, League, and Scrimmage Fee Agreement

One of the main focuses of the SN Youth Program is to teach each member how to play the game of baseball. As a club baseball organization we strive to present as many opportunities as possible for members to participate in scrimmages, league, and tournament play. We feel this is the best way to test their knowledge and improve their comprehension of the game. Each rostered team member is expected to participate in all scrimmages, leagues, and tournaments.

Once the tournament schedule is decided upon for each roster, it is up to each team member to pay for their tournament fee. Each roster will aim to play in at least 2 tournaments per month; some months will include 3 tournaments. Each rostered team member is expected to participate in all tournaments. Scheduled tournament fees will be in addition to the Monthly Membership Fees at the beginning of each month. Any unplayed tournaments will give rise to a credit on a player’s account if a Written Notice of Absence is Received 1 week prior to the tournament start date. Written Notice Of Absence must be sent to southernnevadabaseball@gmail.com. Tournament organizers generally require Team Registration and payment for tournaments 3 weeks in advance. We understand that team members have obligations outside of baseball; however, it is the obligation of every parent to advice of us of absences. Tournament fees vary by tournament and are as follows:

Empire Sporting Events

3-game guarantee:

$70 per player / 4-game guarantee: $80 per player

Vegas Valley Tournaments / Nevada Baseball Tournaments

Tournament, League, and Scrimmage Fee Agreement

Out of Town Tournaments

Often tournaments are out of town and require travel and lodging. Each roster member is responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and meals while at the tournament. The team will normally try to reserve a block of rooms at a participating hotel and let each roster member know of available group discounts. Sometimes a particular tournament may require percentage of player to stay at the designated hotel. In addition, to the cost of the tournament, each roster member will equally be responsible for the cost of the coaches’ room, gas, and food per diem. As costs will vary for out of town tournaments, a figure cannot be given at this time.

Southern Nevada Tournaments

Members will be given a discount on all tournaments sponsored by SN Baseball. These round robin tournaments and mini-tournaments will be held throughout the year at our facility. Price will depend on the participating number of outside teams.

Leagues

A fall league and spring league is the norm. The cost for league participation is approximately $225 per player. The League Fee will be added to the Monthly Membership Fees on the month that the League begins on. SN Youth Program cannot tell a child not to play another sport, but please make SN Youth Program a priority.

Scrimmages

Scrimmages will be scheduled throughout the year. The cost for scrimmage game participation is $15 per game. The cost of each scrimmage game will be added to the Monthly Membership Fee on the 1st of the month that the scrimmage is played in or the 1st of the following month. Any unplayed scrimmages will give rise to a credit on a player’s account if Notice of Absence is given 1 week prior to the scrimmage game.
