Managers and Coaches are among the most important volunteers in MCLL’s Little League program. Your knowledge, care, and concern for this league and little leaguers gives MCLL an advantage when it comes to making the games fun for little leaguers and their families.
MCLL managers and coaches must be leaders. You must recognize that you hold a position of trust and responsibility. You must have understanding, patience and the capacity to work with children. You must be able to inspire respect. Above all else, you must realize that you are helping to shape the physical, mental, and emotional development of young people.
Little Leaguers are strongly influenced by their managers and coaches. they often idolize their managers and coaches because the manager and coach can be sources of inspiration.
Manager and Coach Registration
Anyone interested in being a MCLL manager or coach should contact Robbie Silas, MCLL president at 706-840-0680, and be willing to undergo a screening process that includes a background check, as well as interviews of those with personal knowledge of your qualifications.
Who is responsible for the conduct of the manager and coach? First and foremost, it is the manager or coach themselves. Each of us in Little League must take responsibility for our own actions.
However, as the chief administrator, our president selects and appoints the managers and coaches. As such, no person becomes a manager or coach without the approval of the president. All appointments are subject to final approval by the MCLL board of directors.
Only the MCLL board of directors has the authority to remove or suspend a manager or coach. If a parent or anyone else is dissatisfied with a manager or coach, they must present the issue to the MCLL president and board of directors.
