Can my child be a part of the Sandpiper Team if they can NOT make all the Practices and/or Games:
Out of respect for the game and all players and coaches, players should show up to practices and all tournament games and league games. Life does happen to all of us and this is understood by the Sandpiper Baseball Staff and realize that there will be times that players will not be able to do so. We also realize that players have other sports happening and that many will be starting with their local town teams, committed to other sports, etc. Sandpiper teams often have boys that play on their school football teams, Hockey teams etc and the Sandpiper Staff respects and encourages these commitments.
