For information on the application and selection process, as well as clinics and other training opportunities provided, please read below. Note: Some of the training opportunities identified below are open to all League parents, as well as designated Coaches. Attending these sessions could be a way to build your knowledge and get your coaching started on the right foot.

Apply

Whether or not you have coached in previous years, if you are interested in managing or coaching for the upcoming season, you must perform the following steps BEFORE your application can be considered for approval.

1. Complete the Online Volunteer Application (You will be prompted to login if you are not already.)
   
   Little League requires that a background check be performed on all volunteers that interact with players on a regular basis and the information provided on that form will be used both to perform the background check and for evaluating coaching applicants. Note: Your social security number is required to perform the background check but it will not be stored in our system once we process your application.
   
   Completing the volunteer application and selecting Manager and/or Coach in the Volunteer Area will also indicate your interest in coaching for the upcoming season.
2. Complete the Manger / Coaching Application
3. Submit the Manager Coach Application and a copy of a valid government issued photo identification (Drivers License, Passport, etc.)
   
   Both of these are required in addition to the Online Volunteer Application in order to complete your application.
