Our
Mission
The Harris Township Junior Baseball and Softball Association
(HTJBSA) emphasizes the education of baseball and softball
rules, teaches the fundamentals, mental and physical development,
a respect for the rules of the game, and basic ideals of sportsmanship
and fair play. In all aspects, HTJBSA is committed to providing
the youth of our community the very best educational, sports
experience possible. It is our fundamental belief that every
child with a desire to play baseball or softball be afforded
that opportunity.
Code
of Ethics
I hereby
pledge to provide positive support, care and encouragement

place the emotional and physical well being of my child
ahead of my personal desire to win.

require that my child’s coach uphold the same “Code
of Ethics.”

support coaches and officials working with my child, in
order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for
all.

drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and firearms and will refrain from
their use at all HTJBSA sports events.

remember that the game is for youth – not adults.

do my very best to make HTJBSA sports fun for my child.
- I will
ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and
officials with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or
ability.

help my child enjoy the HTJBSA sports experience by doing
whatever I can, such as being a respectful fan, assisting
with coaching, or providing transportation.
