The purpose of the Regan Youth League is to provide the children of Jamaica Plain with the opportunity to play organized baseball in an open, safe, and friendly environment. The League aspires to foster the discipline and fun that are part of learning a challenging team sport, to encourage a spirit of community among participants from diverse backgrounds who practice and play together, and to promote good sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, umpires, and the great game of baseball.
Good sportsmanship is always more important than the final score.
All players, regardless of their prior experience or apparent talent, will have their fair share of time and attention for developing and practicing their baseball skills. Likewise, all players will be offered ample opportunity to demonstrate their skill during scheduled games, including the opportunity to play as many different positions in the field as is reasonably possible. The League encourages coaches, teammates, parents and fans to enthusiastically support their team during scheduled games. Such support should never come at the expense of other participants on the field. Disparaging, rude, or intolerant comments or behavior directed at players, coaches, umpires, or League officials will be actively discouraged, and if unchecked, will become grounds for expulsion from a scheduled game or, after consideration among League officials, suspension or expulsion from the League.
