Coaches are our league's biggest asset. Thank you for stepping up to help us run a fun and successful league year after year.
Just a few notes:
1. All coaches, assistant coaches and volunteers MUST fill out a volunteer application. To do this, please create an account and fill out the Volunteer form. Background checks will be done via JDP online to ensure the safety of all our players.
2. A mandatory coaches meeting and draft night will be held on Wednesday, April 2nd at Webster Garfield School. Minor and Major league coaches will meet 5:30-6:30, and Coach Pitch and Farm league coaches will meet 6:30-7:30. First Aid/AED training will take place. You will receive a coaches packet that will contain the league's Safety Plan, club rules for each division, concussion protocol and medical release forms that each player's family must review and turn in. Equipment Pick-Up/Coaches Clinic/Field Clean-Up Day will be Sunday, April 13th. First day that practices can start will be Monday, April 14th.
3. Here are the links for concussion training and abuse awareness training. Trainings need to be renewed yearly. All volunteers need to complete this training:
