Team Expectations | CC Phillies

Mission Statement

The Central Coast Phillies are a competitive organization built on the development of our players. We train our teams to play the game at the highest level physically and mentally.

Respecting the game on the field and in the stands is expected at all times.

We're here to win games and compete at the highest level but will never put a players health in danger to win. Communication from players to coaches is key.

We pride ourselves on the quality of coaches in the program and our extended circle. Our coaching staff is a mix of ages, defensive positions, pitchers, catchers, and have all played the game at a very high level: mostly D1 and Professionally.

Parent Contract

We understand youth sports can bring a lot of emotion and excitement from players and family members. Throughout the season there will be some great moments and inevitable low moments. As a program, we will do our best to be the most respectable team in both good and bad times.

In no circumstance should a parent or player talk down to any player, coach, opposing coach, umpire, or anyone else attending the game. We will not tolerate this.

We will handle every circumstance individually.

In general, first offenses will be given a warning.

If this continues, you may be removed from the program.

Parents are expected to drop off and pick up at all Warehouse or MCP Garage practices. In such tight spaces, we feel it's best to give our players and coaches their privacy. Your son or daughter should be able to tell you what they worked on a practice and/or some adjustments they need to make.

This is also a policy for MCP due to nights with high traffic in the garage. Please drop off at the garage roll up gate on Mill St.

Warehouse & MCP Garage - If you need to come in for something please do, however we ask that you wait outside during the bulk of practice. Please do your best to pick up on time - both locations are not the best to have players waiting to be picked up.

Players are expected to wait inside the warehouse or MCP garage until they can visibly see their parents or car outside. Players should never wait on Paso Robles Street, Warehouse parking lot, or outside MCP gates without an adult. Our coaches are aware of this.
