Dear Players and Parents: Congratulations and welcome to Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen Baseball Club! Your son’s achievement as a Lumbermen player promises to be a rewarding commitment – for both he and your family. Like any cohesive organization, CDA Lumbermen Baseball is as dependent upon the people behind the scenes as it is upon its players. As parents, you will play an integral role in the success of the program, from the management of tournaments to selling hamburgers in the concession stand. CDA LUMBERMAN BASEBALL IS TRULY A FAMILY EFFORT. Listed below are the ways you will be able to help make this a memorable season for you and your son. CDA LUMBERMEN BASEBALL CLUB OPERATIONS The CDA Lumbermen’s operating budget for 2020 is approximately $175,000 annually. To fund our operating budget, the majority of funds are contributed via fundraising efforts from the player/parent and to a lesser extent funds raised as a program. It is the goal of Lumbermen Baseball that no player in our program be unable to play baseball because of the cost. We encourage and assist players to fundraise with local business to offset the player cost. The donation from the business to support the player is tax deductible. The Legion board and coaching staff are available to assist any player that needs help raising funds. The Lums Program provides jerseys, hats, SWAG apparel, custom bat bags, helmets, practice equipment, tournament fees, and transportation during the season. Each player in our program is asked to raise the following amounts

• AA Lumberman $2,250

• A Lumbermen $2,250

• 16U Lumbermen $1,750

• 14U Lumbermen $1,650

• 13U Lumbermen $1,250 With the opportunities to fundraise for your player fee, our baseball program should be FREE to any player who puts in a bit of effort to get sponsors from local businesses and organizations. FUNDRAISING is primarily done by requesting donations from boosters or by selling ads in our program and/or website. Once players have been selected, an introductory Player/Parent Meeting is scheduled for October 22 for the 13U & 14U teams and November 12 for the AA, A & 16U teams. A $250 non-refundable deposit is required for every player at this meeting. The remaining balance will be due.

• 13U TEAM: $500 due January 15th and $500 due March 15th

• 14U TEAM: $625 due January 15th and $625 due March 15th

• 16U Lumbermen TEAM: $500 due January 15th, $500 due March 15th and $500 due May 18th

• A Lumbermen TEAM: $625 due January 15th, $625 due March 15th and $750 due May 18th

On May 18th we will have a second Player/ Parent Meeting. We will collect the players’ fundraising packages and final fees (AA, A & 16U). In order to help us complete this task in a timely manner, please make sure your son has completed all paperwork, totaled and balanced their fundraising sheet, and has collected all funds and ad copy (if applicable) in their fundraising envelope. Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen Baseball is NOT able to send invoices for payment. Collection of funds is the responsibility of the player. VOLUNTEERING!

An important part of CDA Lumbermen Baseball is the volunteer parent. Volunteering is a great way for friendships to develop and for the teams to develop a solid foundation. CDA Lumbermen Baseball requires all families to contribute time as volunteers to the program. Every team will have a Volunteer Coordinator that will provide directions on how to sign-up for the various positions. Volunteers are needed for things such as … concessions, score keeping, announcing, tournament management and field work. Please keep in mind that the program needs approximately 1,000 hours of volunteer support – THANKS in advance for your willingness to provide your share! You are invited to attend Board meetings, which are held every other Tuesday throughout the year. Please feel free to contact any of the board members if you have any questions or concerns. Another important resource is the CDA Lumbermen Baseball website. Helpful information includes rosters, schedules, scores, standings, field locations, staff/board directory, links and current news items. The website address is:

This season you will find yourself serving hot dogs, taking tickets, raking dirt and driving across the Inland Northwest. It will be at times thankless, other times fruitful, but this season will be one that neither you nor your son will ever forget. Again, welcome to the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen Baseball Family! Sincerely, 2020 Board of Directors - Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen Baseball Club an American Legion Program

PLAYER HANDBOOK

COEUR D’ALENE LUMBERMEN BASEBALL CLUB HANDBOOK INTRODUCTION

The Coeur d’ Alene Lumbermen Baseball Club Handbook is divided into five sections. PART ONE outlines the administrative aspects of the CDA Lumbermen Program. PART TWO deals with expectations of the players by the Lumbermen board and coaches. PART THREE details the player’s responsibilities. PART FOUR outlines parents’ responsibilities, and PART FIVE is the Acknowledgement. Please read this handbook carefully because you will be asked to sign the Acknowledgement at the bottom stating that you understand and agree to its contents.

PART ONE

Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen Baseball is conducted by an Idaho not-for-profit corporation named “Coeur d’Alene American Legion Baseball, Inc.” Its mailing address is P.O. Box 1105, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83816. Said corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, recreational educational purposes, including, for such

purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue Law. Depending on the number of players, the CDA Lumbermen program will run as many as six teams during a season. The “A” and “AA” teams participate in the Idaho American Legion Baseball program. The “16U” and “14U” teams are registered as an Idaho American Legion Baseball team, but participates in Washington American Legion Baseball program and the Spokane American Legion League. The 13U Red and Navy teams are not aligned with a league and compete in tournaments and games throughout the Northwest. The team’s colors are Navy Blue, Silver, Red and White.

3

PURPOSE The purpose of this non-profit corporation is to teach the game of baseball and the idea of sportsmanship to the youth of this area; to maintain, operate, equip and support baseball teams; to operate and conduct baseball clinics, games, athletic events, exhibitions and places of amusement and recreation for the general public; to acquire, hold, operate, and dispose of any and all privileges, rights, franchises and concessions; and to buy, sell, lease mortgage and exchange any and all real and personal property which may be necessary, advantageous or proper in the conduct of its business.

FUND-RAISING/MONEY

A necessary element of conducting the CDA Lumbermen Baseball Club is the raising of money sufficient to permit reasonable conduct of its activities. All fund-raising activities must receive prior approval of the Association’s Board of Directors. The Board is receptive to fund-raising ideas, which will ease the financial strain placed upon participants and their parents as members of the team. In order for the program to be successful, it is imperative that fund-raising activities occur and that ballplayers and parents actively engage in those activities. Because of the sizable amount of funds and time required to successfully conduct the Lumbermen Baseball program, it is both impossible and unfair to expect a few individuals to shoulder the responsibility of fund-raising and volunteerism. Consequently, the board requires participation by all ballplayers and parents.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES American Legion Baseball rules concerning proof of age are very strict. They require that each player supply the coach with a CERTIFIED birth record. If you do not have a birth certificate, you need to see the coaching staff as soon as possible. Contact the county where you were born, but be sure to get a certified copy, not a photocopy of a certified copy.

PHYSICALS A physical exam satisfactory to CDA Lumbermen Baseball and the coach is mandatory. The exam may be either performed by the ballplayer’s

4

personal physician or obtained from the school office for the current sports year. Physical exams are generally reliable and acceptable for up to two years. The results must be delivered to the coach before practice begins. The ballplayer is responsible for paying the cost of the exam.

COACHES

Each head coach is hired by selection committee made up of board members and, at times, outside community members. Each team’s head coach is then approved by the Board of Directors. The head coach, in turn, selects his coaching staff. They are employed by the Board and are compensated as agreed upon by the Board. Coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will provide a positive influence to the ballplayers, understand the concerns of parents and the Board, and be a good ambassador for the CDA Lumbermen Baseball Club throughout the community and all places where they play or travel. Coaching responsibilities normally include the following: scheduling, pre-season and season coaching activities, maintenance and accountability for baseball equipment, ordering equipment, baseball field upkeep and maintenance, arranging travel, lodging and food for away games, chaperoning ballplayers on road trips, and keeping statistics for all players. Duties may be delegated between the various coaches of the teams, and assigned to ballplayers where appropriate (e.g. field upkeep and maintenance). (See job descriptions)

EQUIPMENT All purchases of equipment must be authorized by the Board. The coaches are responsible for ensuring the proper use and care of all baseball equipment. It will be inventoried at the beginning and end of each baseball season with each head coach given a list of equipment for which he is responsible. The Board realizes that baseball equipment may become unusable because of wear and tear. However, improper use of equipment or the negligent or intentional damaging thereof may result in the person or persons responsible for the damage being assessed the cost of replacement item(s).

PART TWO EXPECTATIONS OF CDA LUMBERMEN PLAYERS

The CDA Lumbermen Baseball Club program expects its players to conduct themselves in a manner, which respects themselves, their fellow players and opponents, the community for which they play, and field on which they play.

As a member of the CDA Lumbermen Baseball Club, you are a visible part of the community. You represent this program both on and off the field at all times. We expect you to show your respect for those in and around the community through mature actions that reflect a strong positive image of the baseball program. You have both a unique responsibility and a great opportunity. Let your participation strengthen and enhance the image and value of the program, ensuring its continuation for the benefit of those who follow your example. CDA Lumbermen expects its players to adhere to the following policies, values, and rules: Player Commitment Policy Due to the competitive nature of tryouts and subsequent selection to one of the CDA Lumbermen baseball teams, it is the expectation of both coaching staff and board members that those players selected to play on a team in the program have the highest level of commitment to their team and teammates in terms of attendance at practices and games. While we realize that a player may have some other unavoidable commitments during the season, as a program it must be understood that a player’s top priority will be to his respective CDA Lumbermen baseball team and that he will make every effort to attend all practices and games. We do not seek to discourage participation in other sports or extra-curricular activities or to put players in the position of having to choose between one activity vs. another, but, ultimately, the invitation to play within the program must be given its due respect and priority.

6

As a program, our preference would be that players missed no practices and/or games, but we realize that this may not always be possible. In an effort to establish a fair and prudent basis from which to operate, during the course of the season each player will be allowed a maximum total of three (3) days of excused absences from practices and/or games assuming prior arrangements have been made with the player’s respective coach. Any absence from practices and/or games without prior communication and unexcused absences beyond the three (3) day limit stated above will affect the player’s playing time at the discretion of the manager. On going and habitual disregard for the above policy will be grounds for dismissal from the program subject to the discretion of the coaching staff and board members. Also, in addition to committing themselves to the entire length of the regular season schedule, all players knowingly agree to commit themselves to the entire length of the American Legion playoff season including all district, state, regional and national playoff competition games (if applicable). There will be no excused absences permitted during the playoff season.

Camps Policy CDA Lumbermen Baseball supports our multi-sport athletes; furthermore, we realize that during the summer many off-season sports offer camps. In an effort to accommodate these athletes and camps, we have endorsed the following policy: Players are allowed to compete in one camp per season without penalty. However, a player will need to identify the specific camp at the time of registration on the CDA Lumbermen Player Absence Form so that each coach has sufficient prior notice. Team members are reminded not to plan summer vacations until the season is over. Personal Appearance We do not want a group of look-alikes, but we do want a team that is proud of its appearance. Dress neat daily. Keep hair groomed. If a coach speaks to you about your appearance, follow up without argument.

7

Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco and Vaping The use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and/or vaping is strictly prohibited. 1st Time – Two game suspension 2nd Time – Dismissal from the Team **Chewing tobacco in any form is strictly prohibited. Practice and Games On the field, we concentrate on baseball and baseball only. Our reason for practice is to become the finest players that we can be, and we cannot let anything interfere. Equipment Keep a watchful eye on all of your equipment. You are responsible for your own equipment. Uniforms Uniforms will be worn completely and correctly at all games. You are responsible for your uniforms. If lost or damaged through negligence, you will be charged a replacement fee. Each player is responsible for washing his own uniform correctly. Injury and Illness Any injury or sickness will be reported to the coaches immediately. Those who are injured are expected to attend all meetings, practices, and games regardless of ability to participate. In the event an injury to a player is season ending the board will review and decide if a refund is in order. A physician’s report may be required periodically. The player must thoroughly and accurately report the status of illness or personal injury. Road Trips You will be expected to follow specific appearance and punctuality guidelines, which will be made clear to you prior to our initial road trip each year. All “AA”, “A” and “16U” players will travel to and from all games with the team, unless excused by the coach to a parent or guardian. Players will not leave the hotel without prior approval of the coaches. We must constantly remember that we represent our community.

8

Note: Players may be sent home immediately, at their expense, if found using drugs, alcohol, tobacco, vaping or violating team rules on any road trip. Program Cost The CDA Lumbermen’s operating budget is around $175,000 annually. The majority of funds are contributed via fundraising efforts from both the player and the parent. It is the Lumbermen’s goal that no player not play baseball because of cost. The program encourages and assists the player to fundraise with local business to offset the player cost. The donation from the business to support the player is tax deductible. The CDA Lumbermen board and coaching staff are available to assist any player that needs help raising funds. The program provides jerseys, pants, belts, socks, hats, bat bags, helmets, and practice equipment during the season. 2020 Program Player Cost/Fees AA Lumbermen: $2,250 A Lumbermen: $2,250 16U Lumbermen $1,750 14U Lumbermen: $1,650 13U Red and Navy Lumbermen: $1,1250 Once players have been selected an informational team meeting will be held to answer any questions that may arise regarding the team and the program. This meeting is usually held in November with a follow up meeting in May. A $250 non-refundable deposit is required at the initial November. The remaining balance will be due as follows:

• 13U Lumbermen: $500 due January 15th and $500 due March 15th

• 14U Lumbermen: $625 due January 15th and $625 due March 15th

• 16U Lumbermen: $500 due January 15th, $500 due March 15th and $500 due May 18th

• A Lumbermen: $625 due January 15th, $625 due March 15th and $750 due May 18th

• AA Lumbermen: $625 due January 15th, $625 due March 15th and $750 due May 18th

9

Program Refund In the event a refund is requested by a player that can’t complete the season, this request will be reviewed by the CDA Lumbermen Baseball Club Board and the Board’s decision will be final. Conclusion As a basic principle, each ballplayer must remember that it is his responsibility to conduct himself as a good sportsman and citizen. Behaviors that are detrimental to the program, its coaches, players, or the community, are not tolerated. If damage occurs to property and is a result of the negligence of a player, that player and/or the player’s legal guardian will be responsible for all expenses incurred. If a ballplayer has any concerns, he should first talk with his head coach. If he still has a concern, he and his parents should schedule a meeting with a Board Representative and the coach to resolve the issue.

I understand that my son is expected to obey all local, state and federal laws.

I understand that violation of the above policies may result in coach and/or board action against the parent or the player.

Alcohol and Drug Policy

Abuse of drugs and alcohol is a nationwide problem. It affects persons of every age, race, gender

and ethnic group. It poses risks to the health and safety of both the individual and the

community, and The American Legion is committed to taking steps to reduce these problems.

To reduce these risks, The American Legion ________________________________baseball

team has adopted this policy concerning drugs and alcohol. This policy establishes standards

concerning drugs and alcohol, which all team members, players and coaches, must meet, and it

establishes consequences for those who violate this policy regarding drugs and alcohol.

All organizations are strongly encouraged to develop an educational program, developed by

their organization and coaching staff, on drugs and alcohol and require all team members

attend and acknowledge that they have read materials on the problems of drug and alcohol

abuse.

No team member shall report for any team related activity (practice, games, other sponsored

functions) if the team member has used alcohol or any controlled substance, except when a

physician has prescribed medication for a valid medical condition and the team member is

taking it as prescribed.

Team members who are seen by a member of the coaching staff or another adult in a position

of authority, using or possessing drugs or alcohol, or in possession of drug paraphernalia (as

defined in prevailing State Law), during a team event will be subject to the discipline outlined

below.

In instances where another person, such as another team member, family member, or fan,

reports a violation of this policy, the violation will be investigated on a case by case basis. If

the person reporting the violation is willing to provide a written statement and /or testify in

court (if needed), the report may be treated the same as if the violation was observed by a

member of the coaching staff or an adult in a position of authority.

Alcohol: Possession or use of alcohol is a violation of state law for persons under 21 years of

age. While alcohol is a legal substance for persons over age 21, alcohol abuse is a serious

health problem, and violations will be treated seriously. Therefore, possession or use of

alcohol by a team member will result in State High School League Rules being applied.

First Offense will result in the team member being suspended for 2 weeks.

In addition, for a first offense, the team member will be required to obtain an evaluation

by a chemical use counselor, and to provide a consent to that counselor allowing the

counselor to let a Team Official know of the assessment results, recommendations, and

team member compliance.

Idaho American Legion Baseball Team Notification of Drug and Alcohol Policy

I acknowledge that I have seen and read the Idaho American Legion Baseball Alcohol and Drug

Policy. I hereby consent to abide by it and abstain from alcohol and drug use, as outlined in the

policy.

I understand that any violation of this drug and alcohol policy may be discussed with and/or made

available to the team officers, my parents or legal guardians. I further understand that any

violation of this policy may mean I will be removed from the team and/or it will affect my ability

to become a team member in the future.

If/when I take over-the-counter or prescription medications, I agree to take them according to the

directions, and to only take prescription medications prescribed to me for a valid medical

condition.
