GULFPORT YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION 

2024 BASEBALL HANDBOOK

We are a volunteer youth sports organization. Our goal is for GYSA Baseball to be a rewarding experience for our players and their families. It is important to remember that having fun and learning the skills of the sport are both important parts of a quality youth sports experience. We encourage the spirit of competition, but we demand good sportsmanship from all who participate in our program. Sometimes coaches and fans get frustrated or carried away in the excitement of a game. These emotions are never an excuse for anyone to lose sight of our goal to provide a safe environment where children can have fun, learn to play better baseball, and develop into responsible young men and women. It is our responsibility as players, coaches, and fans to make sure that we always act in the best interest of the kids. Winning a championship is an important goal but our greatest aspiration should be that playing baseball on this team this season will be remembered fondly by every player on our team.
