Statement of Policy

It is the policy of CHAA to promote the development of strong Character, the right attitude, a sense of responsibility, and citizenship in youth sports. It is the purpose of CHAA to achieve this goal through fair play, good sportsmanship, and congenial fellowship, with adult leaders providing the example.

Coaches Code of Conduct

It is strictly against the policy of CHAA for any person, either as a participant, coach or a spectator to engage in arguments, to use abusive language, to harass or make any threatening gestures towards umpires, coaches, players or league officials or to exhibit any behavior not in concert with the general intention of this park. Failure to abide by these policies will result in game suspensions and/or removal from the park.

Any further incidents may result in permanent suspension from CHAA. Any players, coaches, parents or umpires caught fighting or found consuming any controlled substance will be suspended from league play for an amount of time to be determined by the respective Sports Board.

Personal Check Policy

CHAA uses TeleCheck for all check approvals. For walk-up registrations, the check is approved and then the voided check is returned after confirming the purchase and amount. Checks written for items such as pictures are processed at a later time and electronically deposited. Each check is voided, and destroyed by shredder after the deposit is made. If for any reason you are not comfortable with this process you may use cash for such purchases.

CHAA Baseball Frequently Asked Questions

If my child will not be 5 until after the May 1st cutoff date, could he still play?

Every opportunity must be given to children of the correct age to play T-Ball. We do keep a waiting list from the hotline, e-mail and at registration for children ‘near’ the cutoff age. If your child will be 5 before with in a few months of the cut off date, we will consider them IF there are still plenty of available slots either just before or just after tryouts.

Will you call us if they will not get the opportunity to play?

Unfortunately, that is not possible, but the Hotline and/or website will have messages concerning which leagues are full.

Can my child “play up”?

For the spring season the answer is no, and this is because of Dixie Youth requirements and All-stars. For the fall baseball season there are no all-stars and a player can be allowed to play-up provided he possesses the necessary skills.

I’m going to be out-of-town on the day of Registration, what are my options?

There are a couple of options. First, have a neighbor, friend or other family member sign your child up. Second, register your child on-line. Registering on-line can be done from any computer simply by accessing our website at www.chaasports.com.

What does the registration fee pay for?

The players uniform, operation of the park, including umpires, balls, team equipment, including , catcher’s equipment, brick dust, batting cage maintenance, Concession fee, $20 dollars in raffle tickets, etc.

Is the concession fee optional?

No. It once was, but we had such a dependability problem with scheduling parents that it was decided to make the fee part of the registration in order to have the proper staffing during the baseball season.

Are the raffle tickets optional?

No, this is our major fund-raiser for the season. We need the full registration fee per child to successfully run the program. The raffle tickets are a way for you to off-set $20 of that cost. Many parents do not like to sell things, but the prizes are attractive enough so that the tickets are pretty easy to sell. Parents have the option to just fill out the raffle tickets if they don’t want the hassle of dealing with them, which gives you 20 chances at one of the prizes.

When is the raffle drawing?

At approximately noon on Opening Day, where the teams get to play an abbreviated practice game with umpires to get them ready for the regular season.

There is a chance of rain or snow on Saturday, will the registration be postponed?

Not unless it gets to the point where it is unsafe to have people come register. I might point out that it will be difficult to relay this information to everyone. About the only way would be the website or TV, and it would be difficult to get the information out quickly. Once again we strongly recommend registering on-line from your home computer.
