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 helpers MUST fill out a volunteer app. To do this, please create and account (if person does not have a player) and fill out the Volunteer form. Background checks will be done to ensure the safety of all our players.
2. A mandatory coaches meeting and draft night will be Wednesday, April 3rd at Webster School. Coach Pitch and Farm League coaches will meet at 5:30, and Minors and Majors League coaches will meet at 6:30. You will receive a coaches packet that will contain the league Safety Plan, club rules for each division, concussion protocol and medical release forms that each player's family must review and return. Equipment pick-up and Field Clean-Up Day will be Sunday, April 14th at Copper City Softball Fields (Longfellow Fields) at 2 pm. First day that practices can start will be Monday, April 15th.
3. Little League has some great information for new and veteran coaches. Here are a few links to get you started.

Let's have a fun season!
