A H.I.T. Player has fun, hustles, and puts his team before himself. Players pledge to:

Give 100%. On the field and in the classroom. One without the other is not a winning combination.

Lead with your actions. Let your work ethic be contagious. Treat others the way you would want to be treated, and respect your coaches, teammates, parents, opponents, and umpires.

Be emotionally fit. No pouting, complaining, or talking back to coaches, umpires, or other players.

Show good sportsmanship: No bad language, no making fun of your teammates or the opposing teammates.

Thank your coach. Shake his hand and say, “Thank you, Coach” after each game and practice. Help him by carrying the gear and keeping the dugout clear.

Be physically fit. Take care of your body. Learn to train and eat right. No smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs.

Keep your priorities straight: Faith, family, school, friends—there are more important things in life than sports.

Be grateful. Tell mom and dad thank you for all they do for you.

Smile. See a pattern here?
