edinburgh rays baseball club
Edinburgh
We are a newly formed Edinburgh baseball community club open to all over-16s and
adults who are interested in the sport. You can join us regardless of gender or
your level of experience in baseball. Our practice sessions are free and
atmosphere always welcoming. Winter training is NOW on Sundays. Please get in
touch if you are interested in joining us. Players are the most important people
in the sport. Playing for the team, and for the team to win, is the most
fundamental part of the game. But not winning at any cost. Fair play and respect
for all others in the game are also fundamentally important. Players should be
aware of their obligations towards training and the game. A player should: ⚾
Make every effort to develop their own sporting abilities, in terms of skill,
technique, tactics and stamina. ⚾ Set a positive example for others,
particularly younger players and supporters. ⚾ Avoid all forms of gamesmanship
and timewasting. ⚾ Know, respect and abide by the laws of the game and
competition rules. ⚾ Accept success and failure, victory and defeat, equally. ⚾
Treat other members of the club and opponents with due respect at all times,
irrespective of the result of the game, safeguard the physical fitness, avoid
violence and rough play, and help injured teammates or opponents. ⚾ Show respect
towards match officials, team officials (including opposition team officials)
and supporters. ⚾ Abide by the instructions of their coach and team officials,
provided they do not contradict the spirit of this code. ⚾ Give maximum effort
and strive for the best possible performance during a game, even if his team is
in a position where the desired result has already been achieved. ⚾ Be aware of
their obligations to their own team and make every effort consistent with fair
play, sportsmanship and the laws of the game to help his own team win. ⚾ Not use
inappropriate language. ⚾ Resist any temptation to take banned substances or use
banned techniques. ⚾ Refrain from using any discriminatory language of any kind.
Edinburgh Rays Baseball Club have a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination
on the grounds of race, skin colour, nationality, sexuality, gender and
disability.
