Attendance & Commitment

Being part of Tucci Elite Baseball means making a commitment to your team, your teammates, and the families who support the program. Our teams rely on players being present so that practices are productive and games and tournaments can be played with a full roster.

Because of this, attendance at practices, games, and tournaments is expected for all rostered players.

Commitment to the Team

When a player accepts a spot on a Tucci team, they are committing to:

• Attending scheduled practices
• Attending games and tournaments
• Arriving on time and ready to participate
• Supporting teammates by being available when the team needs them
• Communicating schedule conflicts in advance

Practices are where players develop their skills and where teams prepare to compete. Consistent attendance helps both individual development and team success.

Advance Notice for Conflicts

• If a player cannot attend a practice, game, or tournament, families must notify the coach at least one week (7 days) in advance.
• Providing advance notice allows coaches to plan practices effectively and adjust game or tournament lineups so the team is not short players.
• Exceptions include illness or unexpected emergencies, which we understand can happen.

Tournament Participation

Tournaments are a major part of the Tucci program. Players are expected to attend the entire tournament, including all pool play and bracket games.

Missing part of a tournament can significantly impact the team and their teammates.

Respect for Teammates and Families

Attendance is also a matter of respect.

When players attend consistently and communicate conflicts early, they are showing respect for:

• Their teammates, who depend on a full team to compete
• Coaches, who spend significant time planning practices and game strategy
• Other families, who organize schedules and travel to support the team

Everyone involved in the program is making a commitment of time and energy, and reliability helps ensure that commitment is honored.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple:

Show up, work hard, support your teammates, and represent Tucci Elite Baseball the right way.

When everyone makes that commitment, the experience is better for players, families, and the program.
