2025 Coaching Application


Declaration of Principles

Before filling out the coaches application, please read, and accept the following Declaration of Principles.

I will…

  • Make every attempt to have my coaches, parents and participants maintain the highest level of integrity on and off the baseball field when involved in ANY London Tecumsehs activity.
  • Maintain the highest standards of personal conduct and always teach and support the principles of fair play, which include:
    • Treat EVERYONE with dignity and respect.
    • Ensure that all players get equal instruction, support and fair playing time.
    • Encourage all to be modest in victory and good sports in defeat.
    • Make the game a fun experience for everyone.
    • Never verbally abuse or harass ANYONE.
  • Offer only constructive feedback, never ridicule or yell at players for making mistakes or for playing poorly. Always be generous with praise and set a good example.
  • Support the “officials” in that they are an important part of the game and their decisions are NOT to be argued with. Verbal abuse or harassment will not be tolerated.
  • Support the objective of making the game a fun experience and encourage everyone to have confidence in themselves.
  • Remember that players have other interests and obligations, so be on time for games and practices, give ample notice for missing them and be reasonable when scheduling them.
  • Make sure that all facilities and equipment are safe and correspond the players’ age and abilities.
  • Be respectful to the other teams and their personnel.

I will ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience and will continue to be an Ambassador of these principles for the London Tecumsehs Baseball Club.

I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand this declaration and will promote its goodwill. I also understand that if my conduct DOESN’T adhere to these principles, I will be asked to appear in front of the London Tecumsehs Committee to explain my actions and potentially face suspension or termination of my coaching privileges.
