Coaching Expectations & Responsibilities
Coaches should possess leadership abilities and enjoy working with kids.
All managers and coaches must be approved by the EMNLL Board of Directors and must
complete a Little League Volunteer Application and pass a background check; the
Volunteer Application is available on the website, and will also be provided to
you if you indicate interest in managing on the Registration form.
Responsibilities of the Coaches include:
- Lead the team by example in the area of sportsmanship and promote goodwill between teammates, parents and competitors. Players and parents will follow your example.
- Assist your coach in running practices and games at his/her direction.
- Educate yourself on coaching skills and techniques. There are lots of good, free resources available at Little League online, and free pre-season coaching training is provided by our league.
- Know the rules by reading the Little League rule book, which will be provided to you as soon as the 2008 books are available.
- Know the EMNLL Local Rules, which are available on our website.
- Help ensure safety of players at practices and games by enforcing safety rules and exercising good judgment.
- Ensure that the field used is properly cared for and turn off all lights after use.
