Final Tips:

As a parent, please be courteous to the team and notify your Coach in advance if you are unable to attend a game. It is disrespectful to both teams and the umpire when players "no-show."
Remember, the time listed on the schedule is when we'd like to start the game. Arriving early helps us start on time, ensuring more playtime, especially in the early season with limited daylight.
On game day, check for messages, especially in inclement weather. We play through light rain, and changes or cancellations are the decision of the Home team.
For safety, only registered coaches and players are allowed in the dugout. Siblings should remain in spectator areas.
Before leaving the field, ensure all equipment is collected, and any trash is disposed of properly. Leave the field better than you found it.

Cheer, encourage, and support all players as they are only kids once. Home or away, we represent Elmwood Park with Respect, Class, and Pride! We can not wait to see you out there this spring...Bring your favorite chair and enjoy the game!
