Substance Abuse

Some may view the following information on this page as unnecessary, but it is necessary to state the obvious for liability purposes.

Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League wants to provide a positive experience and a safe environment for all players this summer. We do not want the players consuming alcohol. Most of the players coming this summer are under age 21. It is illegal in the State of New York to purchase or consume alcohol under the age of 21. If you allow the consumption of alcohol by any player you are setting yourself up for liability charges in the event of an accident.

The use of drugs without a prescription is illegal and forbidden. The use of prescription drugs must be reported to the coach. All players are may subject to random drug testing by the NCAA during their stay here this summer.

The players sign a letter of commitment with the NCAA that they will not use any form of tobacco at practice or during any games. HCBL prohibits the use of any tobacco products within game fields, parks, clinics, or in homes of host families. If a player or coach is seen chewing tobacco by an umpire, the league fines the team and the player or coach is suspended.

If a family is providing alcohol to players, or permitting consumption of alcohol by players, they will no longer be allowed to host players.

Adult Behavior

HCBL wants to provide a safe family environment for the player during his stay here this summer. It is against policy to allow any member of a host family or guests to participate in the viewing or sharing of pornographic material or participate in any sexual activity with a baseball player living in their home or playing on the team.
