For the older players - It’s important to note that there will be high school, showcase, college coaches and or pro scouts at the games and you never know when they may be watching or where they are watching from. Again, this is a showcase game, set up for each player to have an opportunity to showcase their skills, please respect each coach, every participant, umpires, our workers and fans.
