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 or login to existing account on SportsConnect and fill out the Volunteer form. Background checks will be done via JDP online to ensure the safety of all our players. Once you sign up to become a volunteer, a league official will be notified, and then will send you an email link to complete a JDP background check online.
2. A mandatory coaches meeting and draft night will be held on TBD. Minor and Major league coaches will meet 5:30-6:30, and Coach Pitch and Farm league coaches will meet 6:30-7:30. 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 12th. First day that practices can start will be Monday, April 13th.
3. All coaches and volunteers need to complete 3 required trainings for the season. Trainings need to be renewed yearly.
