Team Manager (Head Coach):
The Manager has primary responsibility for the team. Which may consist of, but is not be limited to receiving team roster, communication with the Division Director and Parents, and receiving league gear and key(s). He/She works with the Assistant Coaches to create practice plans, game line-up and other related team needs. Head coaches will receive a list of parent volunteers for their team to help support a smooth season. A mandatory coaches meeting will occur before the start of the season.
Assistant Coaches:
The Assistant Coaches have the responsibility of supporting the Manager. Each team is typically comprised of 4 Assistant Coaches. They have responsibility as interim Manager in the event the Manager is vacant for a practice or game. Duties include assisting with and executing practice plans, base coach or either dugout coach.
Snack Shack Volunteer:
Snack Shack volunteers are exactly that. They help in the Snack Shack. CLL has two main Snack Shacks that operate throughout the season. One is located at Bilquist Elementary with T-ball, Rookie, Farm and Minor Divisions. The other is located at Riverside Park for Minor, Major and Junior SB/BB Divisions. It is imperative that we fill out our Snack Shack volunteer shifts for the season, as the league relies heavily on the revenue for league equipment, uniforms and many other expenses. If we do not get shifts covered, our snack shack usually will remain closed. Often that becomes a huge disappointment to parents, but also to all of the participants that look forward to a tasty snack or cold refreshment post game. Snack Shack is ONLY open on game days and based on the availability of volunteers to run it.
Umpires:
Sometimes in our league we have parents or grandparents that would like to help, but prefer not to Coach. Often they will get involved with Umpiring. Many of our umpires continue to come back year to year because it's rewarding working with the kids and coaches and teaching/learning the game. Our umpires will work games from the Farm level and above. Training is available.
Team Parent:
Team parents fill a variety of roles throughout the season. Duties can include coordinating the fundraising for their team, helping in the dugout, helping coordinate stations at practices, scoring games, and more.
Field Maintenance:
Field maintenance volunteers will assist coaches with pre or post game field maintenance or attend work sessions to keep the fields safe and playable.
** Please note that all of our volunteer positions require individuals to register on site and complete a mandatory required Little League Background Check. Coaches are subject to Board Approval if background is complete and clear**
