Coaches
UpdatedTuesday March 15, 2022 byLMLL.LMLL RULES: Know what you're supposed to know. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the League Rules, which can be accessed at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for your interest in coaching this year!. Volunteer coaches are the most important part of Little League, and all our players benefit from our dedicated and committed coaches.
To register, please go to our homepage and click on the Register Online box at the top. To register, you must create an account if you don't already have one (if someone in your family already has an account, log into your family account, and create a New Adult account for yourself under it, set your own Primary Email and Phone Number, then click Save. You should get an email with a temporary password so you can log in under your own name fron now on. DO NOT create a new family account!). Then, click on "Apply to Coach/Volunteer," select the relevant person and then choose the appropriate option. Please submit a separate application for each division you want to coach. All coaches must be at least 18 and coaches under 21 must have a coach 21 or over on the team. You must submit a separate coaching registration for EACH team you would like to coach (and in the case of Travel, for each season). (After your first registration each calendar year, you will only need to do step 3 below for the others.)
As part of the online registration process, you will be required to do all four of the following:
You are not finished registering until you have clicked on the "Complete Order" button and received an email confirmation of your coaching registration(s) and background check submission. You will be subject to a background check based on the information you provide. Make sure you have done all FOUR things: (1) complete, sign and submit the LL Volunteer Application, (2) submit a copy of your photo ID, (3) complete the LMLL online registration process and (4) complete the online background check form.
When you register online, you will receive an e-mail reply confirming your registration details. Please note that the e-mail you receive is only a confirmation of receipt of your application. The decision to accept your application as well as coach pairings are made by the League Board upon recommendation of the Division Commissioners. The Division Commissioners will distribute a separate notification promptly after applications are approved and coach groupings have been determined.
Co-Coaching Requests. The League attempts to honor requests to coach together (especially where applicants have coached together in prior seasons), subject to division-specific limitations on the number of coaches per team. However, the League Board retains the right to deny a coaching application or a requested coach grouping for any reason, including competitive balance, prior coach conduct, and the need to balance the development of new coaches against the desire to maintain a high level of experienced coaches.
Please ensure that coaching partners you are requesting register to coach with you. Contact your intended partners and urge them to complete the application during the registration period. Only coaches who have submitted an application will be considered for a coaching position.
Important Dates. Most of the LMLL calendar is relevant to coaches in our Spring Rec divisions. Please see the full LMLL calendar for all dates, times, locations and other info. (Note that coaches' children in each Division may be required to attend a specific tryouts session other than for their specific grade for Division Commissioner evaluation.)
