RULES OF THE PROGRAM
"'Uniform'
- uniform, means one form. When we put it on, we sacrifice a part of the
self that's in the uniform for what the uniform represents:
an agenda shared by all of us.
A
common goal, not an individual selfish one."
- Harvey Dorfman
EXPECTATIONS
Participating in the Shepard High School baseball program is a very serious commitment. This is a chance for you to improve your skills as an individual, which in turn will help us improve as a team. It is our goal to win the South Suburban Conference and Illinois Class AAAA championships as well as improve you as an individual. You will be asked to work hard, possibly harder than you have ever worked before. It is our philosophy that hard work and commitment wins championships and builds character. Your commitment will include conditioning, games, practices, scrimmages, team drills, inter-squads and volunteer work (fundraising, working camps). This commitment not only involves the way you play, but the way you look, act, and behave as a representative of yourself, your family, our school and baseball program. Some of you may not be able to live up to this commitment, although I hope that all of you will. If you cannot buy into this philosophy then you should choose to do something else.
Coach DiFoggio
The Shepard Baseball Program has only one rule:
Do not do anything that can be a detriment to yourself, because if it is a detriment to yourself then it is a detriment to us: the team and to Shepard High School.
