Any player or coach that violates this policy is subject to immediate removal from the program. Bulls Mission Statement
The purpose of the Bulls Organization is to improve the softball skills of each participant, to teach and exhibit good sportsmanship, to have fun playing softball, and to win as many games as possible. There is no guarantee of playing time during games, but there is much to be gained by the experience. Bulls Policy: Coaching
Our coaches are expected to be firm but never disrespectful to a player. Coaches will promote a team spirit and do their best to help the players improve their skills. The coaches’ decisions will be made based on what is believed to be the best for the team over what may be best for an individual. It should be understood that our coaches are all volunteers that dedicate significant amounts of personal time to the team. Bulls Policy: Complaints from Parents
Never approach a coach during, before, or after a game because tension will be higher at that time. Any comments or complaints should be discussed with the Head Coach only, and away from the ballpark, away from other parents and certainly not where any players can hear the discussion. Coaches will have an open door policy as long as comments and complaints are handled appropriately. Any parent or other relative who violates this policy is subject to having their player immediately and permanently removed from the team. Bulls Policy: Gameday Attire
All players and coaches must comply to the following dress code for games. Even if we don't always play our best, we will look like a ball team. Jerseys: Always must be tucked in while in public. NO TIES IN SLEEVES OR JERSEY BACK. Helmets: School colors are allowed. Bags: School colors are allowed. Cleats: Any color. Batting Gloves: Any color. Undershirts: Team colors including grey and black. Jewelry: None allowed that will be a distraction, per coaches/umpire discretion
Coaches: Shirts must be team colors, along with team logo with sleeves, long or short pants with shoes, no flip flops. Hats must be a team issue. Bulls Policy: Parental Conduct

Parents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that exhibits good sportsmanship and sets an example for their children. Cheering and having fun is always welcome. Parents yelling at players, coaches, the opposing team or umpires will not be tolerated. Coaches are the only people permitted to address an umpire and they will do so at their discretion. From time to time we will play teams whose coaches and/or fans will act inappropriate; we will not tolerate that behavior in our organization. People who are unable to behave themselves at the park and set an example of how to act with class will have their player removed from the team. Playing time, positioning, batting order, etc. will be at the discretion of the head coach and will not be a topic of discussion with parents. Parents are encouraged to help their daughter improve her skills by working with her themselves or taking her to individual lessons and camps. Playing time and positioning decisions will be based on merit. The coaches reserve the right to remove a player from the roster for the actions of the player's parents if such actions are deemed by the coaches to have a negative impact on the team's overall performance and/or morale. If at any time a parent feels that their child has been mistreated by a coach, please schedule a time to sit down and discuss with the head coach. Issues such as playing time, batting order and positioning are not open for discussion. Bulls Policy: Public Forums
Any coach, player, or parent who posts on public forums should always refrain from making negative comments that can be associated with our teams. If others happen to post negative comments about us, simply ignore it because responding will only escalate the problem. Bulls Policy: Player Attitude & Commitment
