Weekly Review Meetings

From NCHSAA Director of Officiating Services

This is to be discussed in the pre-game conference with the coaches each game moving forward this season.

“We are experiencing a high level of unsporting situations relative to bat flips.  This must be addressed and treated as taunting.  This is an action that can be deemed worthy of ejection by the umpiring crew.

 Please discuss bat flips with your student-athletes.  Explain that bat flips will not be tolerated and if deemed excessive, the player will be ejected from the contest in accordance with the Sportsmanship regulations in the NCHSAA Handbook.”
