PLAYER’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CODE OF CONDUCT


The Big Apple Softball League was founded in 1977 as New York City’s Gay/ Lesbian/ Bi/ Trans
Softball League. Its championship teams often participate in the Gay Softball World Series. We
welcome all adults (18 and over) to play softball in a gay-friendly environment. We do not discriminate
and will not tolerate discrimination, be it based on sexual orientation, gender expression, sex, race,
religion, age or any other reason.

Players, coaches, managers and spectators will not make disparaging, threatening or insulting remarks,
gestures and/or actions against or about an umpire, player(s) or spectators or commit acts that could
be considered unsportsmanlike. Please be advised that this league has a zero tolerance policy for
unsportsmanlike conduct, which further includes acts of intimidation, dangerous or over-aggressive
play, bigoted remarks and behavior, and consumption or use of drugs or alcohol on or near the
ballfields.

All players, managers and coaches are expected to be familiar with these rules, and to hold themselves
and other league members accountable for adhering to them.

By signing below, I attest that I have read the above statement, and agree to conduct myself
accordingly.
