Being a manager or coach requires time, patience and basic knowledge of the game of baseball. You will be required to attend meetings, instructional sessions or seminars. You will communicate with the parents/guardians of your players to inform them of game schedules, rainouts, events and activities. As a manager or coach, you have more interaction with young people than anyone else in Little League. Therefore, it is important that you understand the goals and virtues of the Little League program to effectively communicate them to your players. To gain a better understanding of what those goals and virtues are, visit Little League’s website page or speak with a member of the NSLL Board.
