As parents and spectators we must remember that our coaches and are doing the best that they can to teach the players the game, rules, and to act properly on and off the field. The Premier Baseball Association appreciates the job they are doing and expect parents to acknowledge their efforts as well.

-
Exercise self-control at all times

-
Warnings and Ejections
- Any parent or spectator engaged in profane, rude or threatening speech, gestures or actions are subject to ejection from the park by the umpires or a member of the Board of Directors of the Premier Baseball Association.
- Umpires have been given the authority by the Premier Baseball Association to determine whether a game continues; the game may be suspended or forfeited until or terminated unless, the violator ceases his or her conduct or leaves the park following their ejection. The coach of the team (home or visitor) with the violator is responsible to direct their affiliate from the park to avoid forfeiture or suspension of their game.
